Fatboy Slim
"Praise You" is a 1998 song by dance/electronic musician Fatboy Slim, also known as Norman Cook, from his second studio album You've Come a Long Way, Baby. Recently, this song has been included in the Fatboy Slim compilation album The Greatest Hits - Why Try Harder.

The song features the prominent vocal sample "praise you" from the opening of "Take Yo' Praise" by Camille Yarbrough. The song's bridge also subtly samples the theme from the cartoon series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.

Fatboy Slim (UK)
A literal legend in his own lifetime, Fatboy Slim (aka Norman Cook) has enjoyed the sort of music career and international stardom that many can only aspire to. A leading figure in carving out the ‘big beat’ genre that took the planet by veritable storm in 1990s, this party-starting demigod rose to notoriety in the midst of the UK’s early 1980s Hip Hop and block party scene and, well, never looked back! Officially adopting the moniker “Fat Boy Slim” in late 1996, his catalogue of hits since boasts iconic tracks like ‘Everybody Needs a 303’, ‘The Rockafeller Skank’ ‘Praise You’ and ‘Weapon of Choice’. In a musical odyssey that has spawned a string of chart-topping albums (including “Better Living Through Chemistry”, “You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby”, “Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars” and “Palookaville”), taken in 12+ production pseudonyms, and seen him rock 250,000 people at arguably the most famous gig in dance music history – his Brighton Beach epic – it’s little wonder that many consider Fatboy Slim to be one of the greatest DJ/Producers of all time.

Skrillex (US)
Hailing from California, former front man for From First To Last, Skrillex (aka Sonny Moore), has been taking Dubstep fans around the world to heaven and back since first embarking on a glittering solo career back in 2007. The genius behind gritty low slingers like ‘Weekends!!!’, ‘Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites’, ‘First of the Year’ and ‘Ruffneck’, and three attention-grabbing EPs (‘My Name is Skrillex’, ‘Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites’ and ‘More Monsters and Sprites’); this talented artist has remixed household names like Snoop Dogg and Lady Gaga and even found time to launch his own label, OWSLA. Fusing Dubstep seamlessly with Electro House and Fidget House, Skrillex is carving a name for himself deep and proud.

Die Antwoord (SA)
Featuring the blistering talents of Ninja, Yo Landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi Tek, Die Antwoord are a trio of rap-ravers that know how to get a party started and take it into overdrive. Hailing from Cape Town in South Africa and fuelled by a passion for Hip Hop and Zef, this dynamic trio is the genius behind singles like ‘Beat Boy’, ‘Wat Pomp’, ‘Fishpaste’ and ‘Rich Bitch’. Already veterans of festivals like the Big Day Out and Coachella, and signed to leading global label Interscope Records, Die Antwoord are the fresh new face of a fresh new sound that’s set to blow up in 2012.

Porter Robinson (USA)
Porter Robinson is 19-year old wunderkind producer from North Carolina who has already remixed Lady Gaga and graced stages internationally alongside the biggest names in music, such as Tiesto, Deadmau5, Afrojack, Moby and A-Trak. With a skillfulness belying his age, Porter has rapidly ascended the ranks of the international electronic music scene, captivating audiences with his ability to skillfully blend genres into his own unique sound that's complex yet catchy, and classic yet cutting edge. He counts Skrillex as one of his biggest fans and was recruited to join his label, which released his debut EP Spitfire in September 2011. The EP amply demonstrates his masterful eclecticism, spanning across moods of electro house, dubstep, moombahton and even trance, and including remixes from Knife Party, Kill The Noise and others.

Everybody's favourite Norman, the one, the only Fatboy Slim is back to rock your socks off with a visual interactive show to get the party started. Touring as part of the Future Music Festival juggernaut the infamous DJ/Producer is back on our shores after an absence of three years with a totally new mind bending show.

A literal legend in his own lifetime, Fatboy Slim has enjoyed the sort of music career and international stardom that many can only aspire to. A leading figure in carving out electronic music, he rose to notoriety in the midst of the UK's early 1980's hip hop and block party scene, and, well, never looked back!

Officially adopting the moniker of 'Fatboy Slim' in late 1996, his catalogue of hits since boasts iconic tracks like 'Everybody needs a 303', 'The Rockafeller Skank', 'Praise You', and 'Weapon Of Choice'.

These days, Cook's 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."
