Fatboy builds up and breaks down the beat tempo without losing the song's dance appeal, a tribute to the remix master's genius. At one point, the rhythm nearly halts, but then blasts back with a hip-hop sound. Fatboy Slim does not merely piece together some fragmented synthetic ideas into a five-minute track, but instead evolves the song from the basics...
