ARTIST: The Charmers
TITLE: Skinhead Train (Fatboy Slim Remix)
FORMAT: Vinyl 7″
RELEASE DATE: 27 August 2007 / 03 September 2007NEED TO BE CONFIRMED

Taking some time out from his relaxing 2007 schedule and in homage to this iconic label, Norman has stepped into the studio for the first time this year to bring us a Fatboy Slim treasure, exclusively for Trojan. Celebrating this diversity and the wide reaching influence Trojan Records has had, this year, the label’s 40th Anniversary, sees partnerships with some of contemporary music’s leading lights to bring reggae music to the masses. Breaking genres and musical boundaries the Trojan Takeover series offers the controls to the dance music legends of this world and none more fitting of that title than Fatboy Slim.
Norman’s passion for Trojan Records began at the tender age of fifteen when he was given a ‘Reggae Chartbusters’ CD by then bandmate, Housemartins singer Paul Heaton.
“Aside from Bob Marley and everything it was the Trojan sound that I really liked, especially the old blue beat sound which has haunted me ever since, the instrumentals are always my favourites or as a DJ the cover versions of soul tunes that I could play out.”
Moving from soul and reggae and taking his cue this time from the skinhead/ska era, Fatboy Slim’s vocal heavy mix of The Charmers’‘Skinhead Train’ is a stripped down, bare-knuckle hip-hop gem. Putting Lloyd and The Charmers firmly back in the minds of music lovers everywhere, Fatboy Slim’s ‘Skinhead Train’ is a contagious number for a new ska generation. The Takeover Series will be available to download on itunes on release.
