FATBOY SLIM says he has fallen out of love with making new music and reckons he’ll finish his career playing live gigs. The DJ, real name Norman Cook, released his last studio album, Palookaville, 20 years ago. He told me during a Q&A for fans at his All Back To Minehead Butlin’s weekender in Somerset: “My last two singles just came out of a live show.

“They were both things that I made just to play on the side. “I had tunes that nobody else had in my set. And that kind of caught on with people when we worked out that we could clear the samples and release them.”. Norman added: “The thing is, you can’t make music unless you’re absolutely passionate about it and it drives you from the moment you wake up in the morning.

“I just don’t seem to feel like that any more. “I feel like that about DJing and about putting on things like this, but I’ve kind of lost my passion for making music. “For five years, I tried to beat myself up about it and go, ‘You should be doing this’.

“But then I thought, ‘Well, everybody likes my DJing and I enjoy that more, so I’ll do that’. “I’m hoping that one day the passion will come back.”. As a massive fan of Norm’s — and his hits such as Right Here, Right Now, Gangster Trippin and Slash Dot Dash — I hope so, too.
