Gearing up for EDC Japan in May, we tapped UK dance music stalwart Fatboy Slim to put together an exclusive mix for you and all your friends. He took us up on the offer and had a few words to say about coming back to a city he’s been away from for a while:
“I’ve played Japan a huge amount in the past. A full schedule has kept me away for a few years, but there was a time for a while when I was there annually. I’ve always had a great affinity with Japanese audiences. I was actually very surprised just how many similarities there were. Even though there’s a big language barrier, everything else just matches… It just feels like you’re playing to your friends. We all get the same jokes, and we all have the same motivations. I’ve always been very popular in Japan, and I’m looking forward to going back there.”
