Jan. 10 [14:00 EST] -- Hoping to find the same level of success in the States that they currently enjoy in the U.K., the Prodigy have signed with Madonna's Maverick record label.

After weighing offers from several major labels, the kings of British techno decided to join Alanis Morissette in the Maverick stable.

The Prodigy, who topped the U.K. singles chart with "Firestarter," are reportedly "absolutely delighted" with the deal, and are hoping that their affiliation with Maverick (which is distributed by Warner Bros.) will lead to greater exposure in the U.S.

A spokesperson for the band told reporters that Madonna herself did a great deal to woo the Prodigy to the label, saying that she was "very, very clued up" about the band and the British dance scene.

Now that the deal has been inked, the band is hoping to gain exposure through some U.S. dates.
