Fantastic five: return of the old guard
This year's packed with albums coming from some of dance music's biggest veterans
Dance music might be packed with barely-out-of-school bedroom producers and fresh-faced YouTube and SoundCloud smashers nowadays, but that hasn't deterred the gold-plated artists from carrying on. If anything, it's spurred them on and they're out in their droves this year, with five key players releasing albums.
The Prodigy
As this one's already been released it's only right to kick things off with the fellas from Essex. They were pretty confident from the off, saying the album, 'The Day Is My Enemy', would "sweep the floor" with EDM DJs. And did they deliver? Course they did. After generously sticking it up on iTunes for a full stream, their sixth LP - featuring Sleaford Mods and Flux Pavilion - shot straight to the top of the UK charts. They did say they might retire soon, though, so don't get too excited about a seventh.
