Well, party people, get ready to rave because Fatboy Slim just dropped some news that’s sure to make you jump out of your seat! On social media, the legend himself announced that his iconic album Palookaville, along with 18 remixes that have been rarer than a decent Wi-Fi signal at a festival, are now finally available on streaming platforms. Can I get a hallelujah?
Cats & Beats
In his announcement, Fatboy was all about the humor, saying: “Before streaming was a thing, we put a lot of cats in a music video because everybody loves cute cats!” Ah yes, nothing brings more joy than adorable kittens climbing over turntables! Plus, he revealed there’s a new version of The Joker featuring Bootsy Collins that might just get your pet dancing like they’re auditioning for *So You Think You Can Dance*!
“Music, cats, and funk – the perfect ingredients for a good time!”
A Time-Traveling Beat Odyssey
Originally released on October 4, 2004, Palookaville was Fatboy Slim's fourth and final studio album, and let me tell you, it snagged a Grammy nomination in 2006 for Best Electronic/Dance Album. Who would've thought that a blend of funky beats and electronic energy could make crowds move like a raver dodging a rogue glowstick?
