You’re probably thinking Aye? Fatboy Slim / Azuli? Well Norman is still firmly Skint in Brighton, but he‚s put together ‘Late Night Tales’, a compilation for, yep you guessed it, Azuli, and it features a Fatboy Slim remake of the 1977 Kraftwerk classic ‘Radioactivity’, which is also getting released as a limited edition 7”. The purists are gonna hate this, but fuck them, Norman’s having a bit of fun, as he speeds up the tempo adding his trademark rolling and distorted drums, along with shuffling handclaps and horn stabs. The excellent gloomy futurist outlook of the original has completely gone, instead Fatboy Slim has turned Kraftwerk’s ‘Radioactivity’ into a party knees up, complete with silly bits. You gotta give him 10 out of 10 for even coming up with the concept.
4 Out Of 5
