It's not quite hip-hop, nor techno, nor disco, and it is certainly not the macarena. Amid this chaos of spinning lights, moving bodies and exciting beats stands the world's most sought after DJ and most versatile party-guy, the forerunner of the Big Beat Movement, and the master of the remix: Fatboy Slim, a.k.a. Norman Cook. On his new album, You've Come a Long Way, Baby, Fatboy Slim...
