Fatboy Slim Talks About the Making of his Classic Hit "The Rockafeller Skank"

Veteran DJ and producer Norman Cook gives a tour of his memorabilia-filled home studio in this mini-doc.

Norman Cook, better known as Fatboy Slim, has been making music for over thirty years. A read through his long discography will give you some idea of Cook's continual reinvention from indie rock, to punk, to hip hop to house – the man is a true veteran. Although Cook might be a self-confessed musical magpie, he's managed to leave his mark in one way or another in all the genres he's dabbled with over the years.

As it turns out, Cook's home is a veritable treasure throve of rave memorabilia and vintage production equipment. In this documentary, presented by Bose, the legendary producer and DJ gives a tour of his, mostly unchanged, studio – complete with a boxy desktop PC and floppy disc collection. Cook also demonstrates how he made his biggest hit "The Rockafeller Skank", chats with Skint Records co-founder Damian Harris about big beat and reminisces about the early days of his and Gareth Hansome's Boutique clubnight in Brighton.
