Touring as part of the Future Music Festival juggernaut the infamous DJ/Producer is back in Australia for the first time in three years.
These days, the Fatboy Slim show involves not just playing his own patented brand of "party acid house", but a complex audio-visual production. "I'm technically a video jockey now. We write scripts for all the tunes, make films. In the past, I used to have to literally hold up the next record I was going to play to the guy who does my visuals, and he'd have to find the images to match it. And they were never synched. But now, because of the technology, no matter what speed I play at, even if I just chop quickly into it, the visuals are all synchronized. It's a show."
That sounds exciting.
Fatboy Slim will be supported by Australian DJ Ajax.
