Music Mondays:: FatBoy Slim
Artist Overview
Norman Quentin Cook also known by his stage name Fatboy Slim, is an English musician, DJ and record producer who helped to popularise the big beat genre in the 1990s. In the 1980s, Cook actually started as the bassist for the Hull-based indie rock band the Housemartins, who achieved a UK number-one single with their acapella cover of "Caravan of Love". After the Housemartins split, Cook formed the electronic band Beats International in Brighton, who produced the number-one single "Dub Be Good to Me". He then played in Freak Power, Pizzaman, and the Mighty Dub Katz with moderate success.
In 1996, Cook adopted the name Fatboy Slim and released Better Living Through Chemistry to critical acclaim. Follow-up albums You've Come a Long Way, Baby, Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars, and Palookaville, as well as singles such as "The Rockafeller Skank", "Praise You", "Right Here, Right Now", "Weapon of Choice", and "Wonderful Night", achieved commercial and critical success. In 2008, Cook formed the Brighton Port Authority, a collaborative effort with a number of other established artists including David Byrne. He has been responsible for successful remixes for Cornershop, the Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Groove Armada, and Wildchild.
Despite not releasing a new studio album since 2004, Cook has been musically active with touring and made a concept album Here Lies Love with Byrne in 2010. Cook holds the Guinness World Record for most top-40 hits under different names.
Having seen everyone from festival headliners like Tiesto and SHM to dance floor movers like Carl Cox and Laidback Luke. Fat Boy Slim in the Sahara tent in Coachella might be one of the most entertaining shows I have ever seen. The guy is a showman, knows how to play to his strengths, and gets the crowd going; you get the idea.
Mix Overview
Fatboy Slim 's 90-minute DJ set from the Forest Stage at @Snowbombing 2022, located in the picturesque Tyrolian ski town of Mayrhofen, Austria. Given that it feels like the first little bits of summer, I thought it was only appropriate to share a fantastic set from the Jim Buffet (@jimmybuffett) of dance music Fatboy Slim (@officialfatboyslim)

MUSIC MONDAY SERIES
Scientists believe that listening to music in a group helps people to connect. This connection happens because the rhythm in the music helps people's brains synchronize. This allows them to coordinate their body movements. As a result, music can influence how we work in a group. While I wish we could all be at concerts together all the time, sadly, we can not. However, thanks to the internet, sites like Spotify, Soundcloud, and Youtube, we can share some fantastic artists making incredible music. Check out our other Music Monday posts.
