As electronic music continued to evolve throughout the 1990s, Fatboy Slim brought together house and breakbeat rhythms with influences from hip-hop, funk and rock, creating a sound that soon reached far beyond the club scene. More than three decades later, he remains one of the most recognisable names in British electronic music, and on 20 November he will perform a one-off DJ set at Palladium Riga.

Tickets go on sale on 4 September at 10:00 via Biļešu Serviss and Resident Advisor. Members of the Positivus Festival and FBI Concert Club will have access to a presale from 3 September at 10:00.

Fatboy Slim, born Norman Quentin Cook, rose to global prominence in the second half of the 1990s, as big beat became an increasingly prominent force in electronic music – an energetic blend of breakbeat, house, hip-hop, funk and rock. His 1996 debut album "Better Living Through Chemistry" was followed by "You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby", which established him as one of the most sought-after producers and DJs of his generation. Tracks such as "The Rockafeller Skank" and "Praise You" became classics of 1990s dance music, while the Spike Jonze-directed video for "Praise You", featuring a seemingly spontaneous dance troupe performing outside a cinema, became one of the era’s most recognisable music videos.

His success was followed by a string of memorable collaborations. On "Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars", Fatboy Slim worked with funk legend Bootsy Collins, whose vocals feature on "Weapon of Choice", as well as the unmistakable Macy Gray on "Demons". Meanwhile, his remix of Cornershop’s "Brimful of Asha" transformed the original indie track into a dancefloor hit, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart.

Fatboy Slim has never been interested in making electronic music overly serious. He once described his sound as "party acid house", and his DJ sets move freely between house and techno, funk, hip-hop and rock, mixing in unexpected samples and fragments of pop culture along the way. Visually, his shows have also long gone beyond the conventions of a traditional DJ set, with specially created video projections synchronised to the music – something that once prompted Fatboy Slim to jokingly describe himself as a "video jockey".

More than three decades after breaking through internationally, Fatboy Slim continues to tour extensively, bringing together generations of music fans along the way. On 20 November, he will bring his unmistakable energy and sound to Palladium Riga for a special DJ set.
