A true luminary, and one of the artists instrumental in the expansion of electronic music, Norman Cook, who is popularly known as Fatboy Slim has played an essential role in making dance music peak as it has in the modern age. His track with Riva Starr released last year, “Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat” not only found it’s way to the top of the charts and garnered tremendous positive critical acclaim, but it even spawned an entirely new miniature-revolution of sorts in the rave culture of music festivals.

Now, it is true that Norman’s success and talent is well known all over the world however, did you know that he is a huge fan of both Football and Brazil? Well, it seems that now his biggest dream shall soon turn into reality as he gets set to deliver a soundtrack for one of the worlds biggest sporting events come this summer.

The soundtrack will be entitled, Fatboy Slim Presents: Bem Brazil which translates to ‘Very Brazil’ more or less and shall include tracks inspired by Brazilian classics like Felguk‘s take on “Taj Mahal” by Jorge Ben Jor and DJ Fresh‘s spin on “Magdalena” by Sergio Mendes as well as appearances from Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Eats Everything, Claude VonStroke, Gregor Salto, Carl Cox & Joey Negro. It will be releasing a few months before the tournament sets off in Brazil on May 26th, and we already have a teaser of what to expect from one of the most reputed DJ’s in the world.

At the prospect of releasing the album this summer, Fatboy Slim said;

“Given my love of Brazilian music, parties and football it is no surprise that with the World Cup happening this year I want to share that love by providing a soundtrack for the summer, based on Brazilian music.”
