After their debut album Experience (1992), the band moved from their rave roots and incorporated techno, breakbeat, and rock influences on their follow-up, the critically acclaimed Music for the Jilted Generation (1994).
The band emerged during the underground rave scene and achieved early success in 1991 with their debut singles ' Charly' and ' Everybody in the Place', which reached the UK top five. They are pioneers of the breakbeat-influenced genre big beat, and describe their style as electronic punk. The original line-up also featured dancer and vocalist Keith Flint, dancer and occasional live keyboardist Leeroy Thornhill, dancer Sharky, and MC and vocalist Maxim.
