1. Playing a set at the Houses of Parliament in England may have been the weirdest gig he ever played

‘Words cannot explain or describe how weird it was, and how right it felt… yet wrong at the same time! It was right in that, I believe it was 19 years ago, the Criminal Justice Bill that was trying to outlaw house music and raving and everything we stood for was suggested. For us to finally worm our way into being invited to play felt like a triumph to bring the Smiley Face into the House of Commons. Playing for some of our mates – who wore suits to mark the occasion – and MP’s who’d only just finished work, it felt like playing at a wedding with no alcohol! Not the most full on raving crowd I’ve ever played for. I kind of got them in the end.’

2. Fatboy Slim is proud of having a meme – ‘Eat Sleep Rave Repeat’

I think it’s more fun than having a certified chart hit or hear it on the radio. It’s more fun to see that slogan going around the world and making banners and t-shirts and painting it on the walls at gigs. I found that more exciting than having a hit record.

3. He has eaten Ants!!

When asked what his greatest meal ever was, he replied ‘Moss infused with Cep mushrooms; a cheese ball with a fish poking through it and sticking out either end; and ants!’ – For those globe trotters, you can try this meal at Noma in Copenhagen

4. If there were to be a movie about his life, he would like to see Keifer Sutherland play him!

‘just because of the uncanny, striking, physical resemblance… in my mind.’

5. His biggest guilty music pleasure is…. Well you will just have to see in the full interview here!
