and wobbly basslines with the swing and funk of house music

Slim

Cook or Fatboy Slim played under many monikers (Beats International,
Freakpower and Pizzaman), before settling on the one by which

and DJs in dance music. The duo met through Mr C - with whom

Split Personality under the Usual Suspects guise, though they
reverted to their original names for the release of their debut
album Low Life on End Recordings. top
