Techno

Fatboy Slim is a Techno act. Their sound grew out of Five Man Electrical Band, Markus Schulz, Bootsy Collins, Exit Planet Dust and Jean-Jacques Perrey. Those roots explain a lot about how Fatboy Slim arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Propellerheads, Groove Armada, Basement Jaxx, Moby and Junkie XL, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Ninja Tune, Swish Swish, DJ Tocadisco, Fancy That and Róisín Murphy, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 66 connections around Fatboy Slim, reaching back through Five Man Electrical Band and forward to Ninja Tune.
