Biography
Fatboy Slim is the stage name of Norman Cook, an English DJ, producer, and musician who was a central figure in the popularization of the big beat genre in the 1990s. After playing bass in the indie-pop band *The Housemartins*, Cook fully embraced dance music. His work as Fatboy Slim, particularly on the landmark album 'You've Come a Long Way, Baby', is defined by a raucous, sample-heavy collage of rock guitar riffs, funk breaks, and acid house squelches. With global hits like 'The Rockafeller Skank' and 'Praise You', he brought a stadium-level energy to DJ culture, releasing his music on influential labels like #Skint# and #Astralwerks#.
