Fatboy Slim is Brasil

What’s the first thing that comes into your mind when you think of the word “Soccer”?
Correct! It’s Fatboy Slim.

A mega-star in Brazil, he has played to over 300,000 revellers on Copacabana beach and is a regular during carnival madness and at FIFA events.
Just as he sets off for a Pre-Cup Recce and 6 date Carnival tour of Brasil, he's delivered a lovingly curated collection of music encapsulating the soundtrack to this year's biggest event... The World Cup Finals. Fatboy Slim Presents Bem Brasil (roughly translated as ‘Very Brasil’) is set to become one of the hottest albums of the year. Literally.

A host of Fatboy's producer friends from the world of electronic music are paying tribute to the incredible flair for music and dancing Brasil has gifted the world. Some of the tracks are set around samples of classic Brasilian tracks, notably Felguk's inspired re work of Jorge Ben Jor's ‘Taj Mahal’ and DJ Fresh's take on the Sergio Mendes anthem ‘Magdalena’. Others take inspiration from Brasilian music with brand new tracks from Carl Cox, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Gregor Salto and Joey Negro's re-imagining of Airto Moreira classic ‘Celebration Suite’.

With only months left before the first ball meets boot in Brasil, Fatboy and his compatriots are here to get the carnival started early.
