fat boy

[razoid]

Looking forward to fatboy slim this year! Did anyone see him last year and where did he play? Do you think he will play the same place this year? Was it a good show?

Last years "secret set" was an absolute nightmare, crush central. 

[maelzoid]

He was on at 'The Blues' at about 2 am. bog-standard house DJing as far as I could tell, though the volume was reduced and all that really came through was the bass.

Saw him at Bestival headlining and a much different story - a full light show with lasers and a choir at the end.

 

So who knows what to expect...

Was hoping that this thread would be about Rat Boy.

The Blues? I thought that was on the bill? Or do you mean Stone bridge?

Ah I was referring to the Blues but maybe it was on the bill. Anyway it was dangerous at times.

Im hoping he plays the tunes properly and not miss half of the songs out with house djing or crappy mixing

You may be disappointed.

He plays a lot of places over the course of the weekend...

I thought it was The Blues and Stone bridge (as DJ Ox) last year, but could be wrong. I didn't actually go last year, although I did run SecretGlasto, so I'm not sure if that makes me more or less informed!

[Gnomicide]

I'm hoping he plays other people's records really well.

A nice quite acoustic gig in the crows nest by someone I can't remember was ruined by fatboys set in the park last year. ( I did still fall asleep and wake up as I fell off my stool though) 

Don't mean to be a mood hoover but he is massively over rated imo as a dj and his recent Edm sets are the stuff of nightmares! 

[clarkete]

I didn't see him at the secret set, it was rammed as I recall.

Just to say something positive, I saw Grandmaster Flash last year and he was ace

I stumbled across him on the Friday afternoon in one of the se corner venues. Fucking strange, walk past to get a pint, say hello. Went to find something better to do. 

 

Bloke plays tunes, big deal.

[Fabrizzo]

My dream is a 90s 'big beat' dj set...

[Andy0808 v5]

He was class at Arcadia in 2013

He was awful in Sonic (i think) in 2014.

 

Really depends where he plays and the sound quality as people have mentioned. As for his own tunes, you'll be lucky.

Not happening. He'll use the vocals to Right Here Right Now and maybe a few others but don't expect any full songs of his

He played arcadia in 2013. He's like a resident at Glastonbury he plays literally every year in some form, often multiple times. Fuck knows where he'll be this year. I caught 10 minutes of him after Metallica in 2014, he played Shot Me Down by David Guetta and LRAD by Knife Party in that time

I'm not so sure you know. For him to be announced on the poster makes me think it could be an actual Fatboy Slim gig. But then again it could just be a Sonic headline set.

 What's a Fatboy Slim gig? He's a DJ. I've never heard of him doing anything other than play records.

first post!

I saw him in Ibiza last year, he played a 2 hour set, for the first half he was playing old favourites (Praise you, Right here right now etc..!) along with some classic 90's dance and songs you could sing to... Then the 2nd hour was just awful, I do tend to like house music, but it wasn't even that, it was just sort of...crap. Still.. will be going to see him!

What was the other pseudonym he goes by (2014) other than DJ OX?
