‘Fatboy Slim presents Bem
Brasil’ – the only album based on authentic Brazilian music!
In parallel to the tournament, world renowned players from across the globe, congregate to express their skill, inspired by the magnificent back drop of Brasil, its people and its celebrated culture. The players in this case are a host of Fatboy's producer friends from the world of electronic music paying tribute to the incredible flair for music and dancing Brasil has gifted the world.
Fatboy Slim is known the world over for his unique brand of 'Party Acid House', something he advocates through the medium of DJing and of course the music he makes. His track "Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat" was not only a worldwide hit last year but also became a lifestyle mantra for the hugely abundant new generation of 'Ravers' who can be seen hash-tagging and shuffling their way across dance floors and festival fields everywhere.Recording under the alias Fatboy Slim, British DJ/producer Norman Cook was one of the major pioneers of big beat; he ranking second to the Chemical Brothers in terms of breaking the genre in the States. Cook samples from a wide range of music—house, funk, even rock—to create electronic music specifically designed for dancing
Sub-plotting Fatboy's relentless party mission are two very clear passions… Football and Brasil! Historically Music and Football don't mix too well but Fatboy has repeatedly denied such logic.His special relationship with the tournament started when he had the bright idea to play gigs in Japan and South Korea in the same cities as the England games, giving the England fans and locals something to do and allowing himself and his crew to go to the matches. Based on the success of this formula he repeated it at Euro 2004 in Portugal and again with great success in South Africa, 2010.
Four years on and he finds Football converging with his biggest love affair… Brasil!
With only just a few days before the first ball meets boot in Brasil, Fatboy and his compatriots are here to get the carnival started early.

one album that brings home the carnival as you enjoy the games with friends and
