Fatboy Slim (the alter ego of musician Norman Cook) is a popular hip-hop/techno DJ and producer. As Norman Cook he played bass for the pop group The Housemartins and performed with the dub supergroup Beats International. As mixmaster Fatboy Slim his albums include Better Living Through Chemistry (1996), You've Come A Long Way Baby (1998, including the hit single ‘Rockefeller Skank’), Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars (2000) and Late Night Tales (2008), between others. The last album sounds are reggae, soul and funk, actor Robert Mitchum gives his voice to ‘Calypso’.

Fatboy Slim is also very well known around the world; with most of his works being a big success on the dancefloor.

However, more than producing and remixing, Cook is a superstar DJ. His sets are always a great show; where he shows an inhuman capacity to mix it up, as the Space Ibiza crowd have checked out many times!
