Keith Flint 1969 - 2019



On this day 3 years ago, the iconic Punk king Keith Flint passed away...
One of the most iconic performers and a truly unique and authentic man that will live forever inside our souls.

For this anniversary, we'd like to share with you all a totally recommended tribute show presented by GLOWKiD and broadcasted on Kniteforce Radio few weeks after Keith's loss...
It includes tracks where Keith is involved with his vocals either with The Prodigy or side projects.

Death Of A Rock Star Podcast:: KEITH FLINT



Our recommendation for this weekend is this exquisite podcast paying homage and tribute to the only and only Keith Flint from The Prodigy. The original and first of all Firestarter. 
Noteworthy to mention and praise the team behind this podcast, doing a great work, namely it's been written by Tom Fordyce (https://twitter.com/tomfordyce) mixed by Phill Brown (https://twitter.com/escapingbrown) and presented ideally by Spoonface (https://twitter.com/Spoonface1).
Sources and archives are taken from BBC, The Face, Q Magazine, Select, Guardian and a few others.
All in all, the narration presented is top quality and it takes you from Keith's oldskool days to the last days of his personal 'escapism' for a legend who was quite different from the rest. About a man you think you know, when you barely knew him...



"WARNING: this episode includes references to suicide.
He was maybe the last pop star who could scare grannies and make kids cry. Keith Flint looked like Johnny Rotten mixed with Freddie Krueger. He snarled rather than sang. The tabloids wanted his records banned. But the real Keith was a very different man - and the story of this lost kid’s life and sad death are both endearing and deeply moving."

17th September...
The 50th year of Keith Flint, the iconic Punk Rave King, who was born in 17th September of 1969 and passed away 6 months ago. Still fresh and nobody can easily accept it.
In memory of this great performer, a team of producers have made a compilation album including their exclusive takeover of remixes & covers paying homage to him as well as to the Prodigy.
The album is entitled "Jilted Generations: An Underground Tribute To The Prodigy" comprised of 12 tracks made for a good cause as all proceeds will held to the US based Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
Read the official statement above and show your support to the whole project.


"Keith Charles Flint was an English vocalist, dancer, and occasional motorcycle racer, best known to a wide audience for his work with the seminal electronic group The Prodigy. Beginning as a backup dancer with the group, Flint would later become a frontman for The Prodigy by 1996, lending his appearances as a songwriter and vocalist to some of their biggest commercial hits, such as "Firestarter", "Breathe", "Baby's Got A Temper", and "Omen". Flint's iconic punk-inspired appearance became indelibly associated with the group through their music videos, and almost certainly played a major role in The Prodigy's mainstream success, and legacy as a key influence in the subgenres of big beat, breakbeat, and hardcore dance.

On March 4th, 2019, Keith Flint was found dead in his Essex home of a suspected suicide, as The Prodigy was in the midst of a major world tour. A massive outpouring of grief and tribute from peers such as The Chemical Brothers, Liam Gallagher, Azealia Banks, Gary Numan, Ho99o9, Frank Turner, and many more soon followed. These tributes reflected not just on the major influence and contributions Flint had made via The Prodigy, but of his gentle temperment, wide-reaching generosity, and warmth as an individual, in sharp contrast to his aggressive stage persona.

With "Jilted Generations: An Underground Tribute To The Prodigy", we hope to show our love as well.

Who are we? Just a loose collection of underground electronic and industrial musicians who want to pay tribute to the long-lasting legacy of Keith Flint, and have come together with 12 hard-hitting covers of tracks by The Prodigy to show our appreciation for the man and his enduring influence on music.

All proceeds generated from the purchase of this compilation will be donated to the Suicide Prevention Lifeline - suicidepreventionlifeline.org "
