FatBoy Slim has always been one of my favorite artists. He fueled many of my days of compulsive videogaming and then transitioned me from rock and rap into the wonderful world of electronica and big beat. MIMM was lucky enough to see him perform live at Coachella 2008! The performance was insane, his stage made him seem as if floating in a digital silver screen. The visuals were perfectly in sync too, telling a gripping story of evolution from ape to angel at one point, and blasting you into House of Pain's "Jump Around"  at another.
