Fatboy Slim
Everybody’s favourite Norman, the one, the only Fatboy Slim is back to rock your socks off with a visual interactive show to get the party started. Touring as part of the Future Music Festival juggernaut the infamous DJ/Producer is back on our shores after an absence of three years with a totally new mind bending show.
A literal legend in his own lifetime, Fatboy Slim has enjoyed the sort of music career and international stardom that many can only aspire to. A leading figure in carving out electronic music, he rose to notoriety in the midst of the UK’s early 1980’s hip hop and block party scene, and, well, never looked back!
Officially adopting the moniker of ‘Fatboy Slim’ in late 1996, his catalogue of hits since boasts iconic tracks like ‘Everybody needs a 303’, ‘The Rockafeller Skank’, ‘Praise You’, and ‘Weapon Of Choice’. In a musical odyssey that has spawned a string of chart-topping albums (including ‘Better Living Through Chemistry’, ‘You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby’, ‘Halfway between The Gutter And The Stars’ and ‘Palookaville’), taken in 12+ production pseudonyms, and seen him rock 250,000 people at arguably the most famous gig in dance music history – his Brighton Beach epic – it’s little wonder that many consider Fatboy Slim to be one of the greatest DJ/Producers of all time.
These days, Cook’s show involves not just playing his own patented brand of „party acid house“, but a complex audio-visual production. „I’m technically a video jockey now. We write scripts for all the tunes, make films. In the past, I used to have to literally hold up the next record I was going to play to the guy who does my visuals, and he’d have to find the images to match it. And they were never synched. But now, because of the technology, no matter what speed I play at, even if I just chop quickly into it, the visuals are all synchronized. It’s a show.“
