Why Fatboy Slim Had to Make an "Alternative Soundtrack" for Brazil World Cup

With nearly three decades in the biz, EDM veteran Fatboy Slim says Brazil has a special place in his heart. He tells Fuse News' Jack Osbourne that after playing the South American country "probably 20 times in my career" he was inspired to make Fatboy Slim Presents Bem Brasil—an album to coincide with its upcoming World Cup tournament.

"I've kind of absorbed Brazilian music," Fatboy Slim, née Norman Cook, says. "When the World Cup was announced, I thought there's going to be these dreadful World Cup records that have nothing to do with Brazil. I thought Brazil deserved better and someone should showcase the real Brazilian music. It's kind of an alternative soundtrack to the World Cup; Brazilian music reinvented for the dance floors, but not a cheesy-EDM mashup. It's been great fun."
