Description
It’s the late nineties. DJs are the new rock stars and Fatboy Slim’s unique musical blend of vaudeville and vodka has the sweat dripping from the ceiling of Brighton’s infamous Boutique. A grinning Fatboy Slim drops the needle on ‘Santa Cruz’, the record that had kick started the acclaimed Skint record label, and takes a bow before the crowd. The drumfest of the big beat revolution is in full swing and he is most definitely leading from the front.
Fast forward ten years and Fatboy Slim (aka Norman Cook) has successfully helped take dance music from the clubs, into the living room and to the top of the charts - earning him a unique place in the nation’s heart along the way. Across four acclaimed albums - ‘Better Living Through Chemistry’, ‘You’ve Come A Long Way Baby’, ‘Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars’ and ‘Palookaville’. Recently Norman released his Greatest Hits. To date Fatboy has sold over 8 million albums and his music has defined a genre, giving him the platform to become the worlds biggest DJ. Subsequent parties have now been held on Beaches in Brazil, Northern Ireland and Australia, as well as incredible events on the banks of the Black Sea in Romania and Loch Ness in Scotland. He continues to wow audiences around the world.
