FATBOY SLIM

Fatboy Slim, or Quentin Leo Cook, known as Norman Cook or as The BPA (The Brigthon Port Autority), (Bromley, July 31st 1963), is a disc jockey and an English record producer . His style is known as big beat, a mix of hip hopbreakbeatrock and R&B.

Grown up in Redhill, he moved to Brighton to go to the college. He started to work as a DJ and then he moved to Hull to play bass with the band Housemartins. After a tour with Billy Bragg, the band drew a contract up with the label Go! Discs. The first single produced is Flag Day, that is successful enough, followed by the song Sheep. But it’s with the third single, Happy Hour, that the band has the first real success gaining the third place in the English charts. The album London 0 Hull 4 ascended the top 10 with the single Caravan Of Love (a cover of the Isley Brothers) and the band headed the chart. The second album is The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death, that marked the end of the project. Norman came back to Brixton to start again his career as a DJ. He worked to a mix of the famous I Got Your Soul by Eric B and Rakim, then formed the group of artists Beats International. In1989 they realized the single Dub Be Good To Me heading the chart. The LP of the band is Let Them Eat Bingo, followed in 1991 by Excursion On The Version. Norman divorced his wife and for two years he produced nothing. Ashley Slater, vocalist of the Microgroove, collaborated with the Beats International for their second album. He was very interested in Funk too, so he became the leading spirit of the band Freak Power, and their single Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out headed the charts and was used by Levi’s for its ad campaign. In 1995, with the pseudonym Pizzaman, Norman realized an album including two beautiful singles, Sex On The Streets and Happiness. Norman and Slater, in 1996, released the album More Of Everything…For Everybody. A short while afterwards, Norman recorded some songs with many pseudonyms: Mighty Dub Kats, Fried Funk Food.
With Damien Harris created the Skint Records, and changed his name to Fatboy Slim. 1996 is the year of the album Better Living Through Chemistry referred to an American slogan of 50s, about the importance of Valium as a sedative for hyperactive children. The reference to chemistry and to the Chemical Brothers is clear, the band who convinced him to make the album. During this period he performed as a DJ in some clubs of London as the Big Kahuna Burger or the Sunday Social, that played his single Santa Cruz.

 

Big Beach Boutique in Brighton(2002)

With his friends Damien and G Money he created the Big Beat Boutique, a club in Brighton, where he performed as a resident DJ. The label Caroline/Astralwerks promoted his projects in the U.S.A. As Mighty Dub Katz released Magic Carpet Ride (1997), followed by NoWay (1998). Remixed some songs for CornershopBeastie BoysWildchild and Fluke, then he started to work to the album You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby: the title is taken from the slogan of the Virginia Slims cigarettes. The first single is The Rockafeller Skank, the summer hit of 1998 and soundtrack of the videogame FIFA 99. And then he released Gangster Trippin’ and Praise you. The third single Right Here, Right Now had a great international success. On July 6th 2001, Slim made a concert on the beach of Brighton in front of 40,000 people. The year after he repeated the event in front of 250,000 people. In the same year the album Palookaville was released, preceded by the single Slash Dot Dash. He did other concerts on the beach, his own trademark, on occasion of special date as the New Year’s Eve party or the New Year’s Day with an audience of thousands of people. In 2008 he used the pseudonym The BPA, not very known in Italy, and released the singles Seattle and Toe Jam heading immediately the charts of the most broadcasted singles.
