The Prodigy air new single 'Nasty' • News • DIY Magazine

Last week original firestarters The Prodigy announced ‘The Day Is My Enemy’. Tonight they followed the news up with the first track from their upcoming new album. ‘Nasty’ received its first ever spin courtesy of Mr Zane Lowe, who crowned it his Hottest Record.

“This is ‘Nasty’” announced Zane by way of introduction, and he’s not wrong. Frantic declarations of “nasty” immediately cut across sawtooth synths, and returning to The Prodigy’s trademark attacking wares, it’s as if they never left. “It felt really direct, and undeniably us,” explains the band, speaking to Zane live on his show. “We wanted people to get the full force of that. It’s really simple and direct.”

The Prodigy also announced that they will be heading out on a ten-date tour this May, taking in dates across the UK before their headline set at Isle of Wight Festival.

Beginning on 4th May in Newcastle, the trio will play a run of ten dates that stretch across the first half of the month, before concluding the run with two dates at London’s Alexandra Palace.
