He moʻolelo maoli ʻo Fatboy Slim i ka honua o DJing. Ua hoʻolaʻa ʻo ia ma mua o 40 mau makahiki i ke mele, ua ʻike pinepine ʻia ʻo ia ka mea maikaʻi loa a noho i kahi kūlana alakaʻi ma nā palapala.
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi, ʻōpio, makemake nui i ke mele Fatboy Slim
ʻO ka inoa maoli - Norman Quentin Cook, hānau ʻia ʻo Iulai 31, 1963 ma waho o Lākana. Ua hele ʻo ia i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Reigate kahi i lawe ai i nā haʻawina violin. Ua hoʻokumu ke kaikuaʻana i ke aloha i ke mele, i ka makahiki 14, ua lawe ʻo ia iā Norman i kahi cassette o ka hui punk rock The Damned.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hele i nā ʻahamele ma ka Greyhound Pub. A laila hoʻokani ʻo ia i nā pahu i ka hui Disque Attack. Ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana o ka mea hoʻokani leo, ua kū ʻo ia i kona wahi. Ma hope mai, hui ʻo ia me Paul Heaton, nāna lākou e hoʻokumu i ka hui Stomping Pondfrogs.
I ka makahiki 18, ua komo ʻo ia i Brighton Polytechnic Institute, kahi āna i aʻo ai i ka ʻōlelo Pelekane, sociology a me ka politika. Ma mua o kēlā, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Norman iā ia iho ma ke ʻano he DJ. ʻO ia ka manawa o ke kulanui i hoʻomaka ai ʻo ia e hoʻomohala i kēia ala. Ma ka hui haumāna "The Basement" ua hana ʻo ia ma lalo o ka pseudonym DJ Quentox. Ma laila i hānau ʻia ai ke kiʻi hip-hop Brighton.
ʻO nā hana mua e kaulana ai ʻo Fatboy Slim
Ua loaʻa ʻo Paul Heaton i Housemartins ma 1983, a ʻelua mau makahiki ma hope, ma ka pō o ka huakaʻi, haʻalele ka bassist iā lākou. Ua ʻae ʻo Norman e pani iā ia. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ka lanakila. Ua lilo ka mele "Happy Hour" i mea kaulana, a ua komo nā album "London 0 Hull 4" a me "The People Who Grinned Themself to Death" i loko o ka 10 kiʻekiʻe o nā album UK maikaʻi loa.
Ma hope o 5 mau makahiki, haʻalele ʻo Housemartins. Hoʻokumu ʻo Heaton i ka hui ʻo The Beautiful South, a hoʻomaka ʻo Cook i kahi ʻoihana solo. I ka makahiki 1989, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ke mele "Blame It on the Bassline", i ʻike ʻole ʻia a ʻaʻole i piʻi ma luna o ka laina 29 ma luna.
I ka manawa like, ua hoʻokumu ka DJ i nā Beats International. ʻO kēia ka hui pū ʻana o nā mea hoʻokani pila, me nā mea hoʻokani mele ʻo MC Wildski, DJ Baptiste, soloists Lester Noel, Lindy Leighton a me ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Andy Boucher.
ʻO kā lākou album "Let Them Eat Bingo" ka mea i hoʻopiʻi kope kope. Ua waiho ʻia ka hoʻopiʻi e ka hui ʻO ka hakakā a me ka Bana SOS. Ua lilo ʻo Cook i ka hihia a ua koi ʻia ʻo ia e uku i nā mea paʻa kope i ʻelua kālā o ka loaʻa. Ua alakaʻi kēia i ka banekorupa, a ʻaʻole i kūleʻa ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e loaʻa kālā: ʻaʻole i kaulana nui ka album "Excursion on the Version".
A hou a hou
'A'ole i ho'opau nā hemahema i ka Norman, no laila i ka makahiki 1993 ua hana'o ia i kekahi hui - Freak Power. Ua hoʻohana ʻia kā lākou hoʻokahi "Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out" no kahi hoʻolaha hoʻolaha no ka brand lole ʻAmelika Levi's. I ka makahiki 1995, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka hōʻiliʻili "Pizzamania". ʻEkolu mau mele mai laila e lele aʻe i ka piko o nā papa palapala, a hoʻohana ʻia ke mele "Happiness" e hoʻolaha i nā wai.
ʻAʻole lawa kekahi mau papahana no Norman. No laila, me kahi hoa pili mua, ʻo Gareth Hansom, i kapa ʻia ʻo GMoney, hana lākou i ka duet The Mighty Dub Katz. Ma hope mai, wehe nā kāne i kā lākou hale pō pono'ī "Boutique". ʻO kā lākou mele kaulana loa ʻo "Magic Carpet Ride".
90s a me ka piko o ka kaulana
Ua puka mai ka pseudonym kaulana i ka makahiki 1996. Ua unuhi ʻia ʻo Fatboy Slim ma ke ʻano he "kanaka momona momona", ua wehewehe ka DJ i kāna koho penei:
"He mea ole keia. Ua hoʻopunipuni nui wau i kēia mau makahiki a paʻakikī iaʻu e hoʻomanaʻo i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. He oxymoron wale nō kēia - he huaʻōlelo hiki ʻole ke ola. Ua kūpono iaʻu - he naʻaupō a hoʻohenehene.
I ka makahiki 2008, ua hōʻike ʻia ua helu ʻia ka DJ ma ka Guinness Book of Records no ka nui o nā hits i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma lalo o nā pseudonyms like ʻole. I nā manawa like ʻole, kāhea ʻo ia iā ia iho:
- Keiki ʻakaʻaka
- Wela mai ka makahiki 63
- Arthur Chubb
- sensateria
ʻAʻole i hoʻonele ʻia ka album mua "Fatboy Slim" a komo i ka piko o nā palapala, i ka makahiki 1998 ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka lua album - "Praise You Come A Long Way, Baby". I ka makahiki hoʻokahi, me ke alakaʻi ʻo Spike Jonze, ua kiʻi ʻia ke wikiō "Praise You", i loaʻa iā 3 mau makana mai MTV, me ka wikiō holomua.
Ma hope o kēlā, ua like ka hana a Cook e like me ka uaki: nā kiʻekiʻe mau i nā pakuhi, nā wikiō kaulana, nā makana he nui. He mea pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻo ia kekahi o nā paionia ma ke ʻano beat nui - kekahi o nā ʻano mele uila. Hōʻike ka Big beat i kahi beat ikaika, psychedelic a me nā mea hoʻokomo mai ka pōhaku paʻakikī, jazz a me nā mele pop o nā makahiki 60. ʻO nā mea hoʻokumu o ia ʻano ʻo Propellerheads, The Prodigy, The Crystal Method, Nā kaikuaʻana kemika a me kekahi poʻe'ē aʻe.
ʻO ke ola pilikino Fatboy Slim
I ka makahiki 1999, ua mare ʻo Norman i ka mea hōʻike TV ʻo Zoe Ball, he keikikāne he 20 makahiki, ʻo Woody, a he kaikamahine 11 makahiki ʻo Nellie, nāna i hahai i ka wāwae o kona makuakāne. I ka makahiki 2016, ua kaʻawale lāua. Ma Malaki 4, 2021, he 12 mau makahiki mai ka lanakila ʻana o Kuke i ka waiʻona a me ka hoʻohui lāʻau. ʻO ia i kēia lā i ka makahiki 2009 i komo ai ʻo ia i ke keʻena hoʻoponopono, kahi āna i noho ai no 3 mau pule a haʻalele ʻo ia no kona makemake e hoʻokani.
Ano
Ke kūpaʻa mau nei ʻo Norman i nā mele a ʻike pinepine ʻia i nā ʻoliʻoli e like me Global Gathering, Good Vibrations, etc. I ka wā maʻi maʻi Covid-19, ua ʻoi aku ʻo ia i kāna kaikamahine, ʻo ia i ka makahiki 10 i hana ma ka Camp Bestival festival, kahi i hoʻāla ai ʻo ia i ke kālā no kahi kikowaena maʻi maʻi.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Fatboy Slim i nā hits he nui i kāna ʻoihana a pāʻani i nā haneli he nui o nā DJ, a ma 57 ua piha ʻo ia i ka ikaika, no laila ʻaʻole ʻo ia e noʻonoʻo e haʻalele i kāna mea aloha.
