Has Fatboy Slim Lost His Touch?

Self-Titled | Read Full Story >

Norman Cook started off strong with swift “Praise You” snippets and speaker-rattling sheets of acid techno and big beat, but overall, his rare 105-minute (!) set suffered from severe peak/valley problems. In other words, nearly every time he lead the laidback crowd down a path of potentially-losing-their-shit, Cook lost his momentum somehow, either by wearing out a song’s welcome (do we really need to hear DJ Kool drops for six minutes?) or not ratcheting up the tension of the few familiar Fatboy tracks that made the mix

It happens to be best of them. He'll never have the magic he had in the late 90's, so if you go to one of his shows just be happy to be in the presence of someone that used to really rock the decks in his heyday.

People should still "praise him" (pun intended) for his contributions to dance music.
