Fatboy Slim

Visible in this photo of Fatboy Slim's studio, from this Sound on Sound interview about "Praise You". It can be found on Slim's desk. He has used them since the production of Better Living Through Chemistry.

At this time, Cook was using a Soundcraft desk and monitoring through a pair of Auratones during the writing phase and Yamaha NS10s when it came to mixing. “I had four flatmates,” he remembers, “and you can’t work at any volume. So I worked on Auratones, the same pair of which I still use now, and you could feel when the bottom end was there, but it didn’t go through to other people’s bedrooms. Then when it came to mixdown, I would go onto NS10s. I would say to everyone, ‘Look, sorry, I’m mixing tonight, so I’ve got to actually play this at volume just to check the bottom end.’”

In this old photo we can see Fatboy Slim in his studio with a several music equipments, one of these is the Roland TR-909 (above to his pc monitor).

Two Akai s950s can be seen stacked on top of each other at 2:39 of this making of “The Rockafeller Skank”.

In the YouTube video "Game Changers: Fatboy Slim 'Praise You,'" at 7:44, Fatboy Slim can be seen using an Atari 520 ST.

Fatboy Slim can be seen using Ableton Live 9 @ 10:46 into his Masterclass with Burn.

Fatboy Slim is often seen (as he is in this picture) wearing Stanton DJ Pro 300 Single-Sided DJ Headphones during live sets.

He says: "God knows how many years I've been carting vinyl around with me, but all that's changed. These days, all I need on stage are the CDJs, the dummy CDs, Serato and a Rane 57 mixer.

At 1:48 in Bose's video tour of Fatboy Slim's studio, you can see a Phat Boy Midi Controller placed to the right of his TR-909.

And so it was almost in secret, or at least with no intention of releasing the results, that Cook started conducting his own dance music experiments at home using a TEAC 144 Portastudio and Roland S10 sampling keyboard.

In a 1988 photo from the Brighton Journal, Fatboy Slim can be seen with a Roland JX-3P synthesizer.

"To me, bits of gear like the Atari, the S950 and the (TB-)303 are just as ground breaking and important as the Telecaster and the Vox amp." - Fat Boy Slim.

Fatboy Slim's ownership of this pedal is evinced by his posession of its label sticker. This sticker is visible in this photo of part of Fatboy Slim's studio, from this Sound on Sound interview about "Praise You".

A retrofitted D-Sync is visible in this photo of Fatboy Slim's studio, from this Sound on Sound interview about "Praise You". It can be found on Slim's rightmost desk. Slim has been using it since Better Living Through Chemistry.

Cook’s home studio setup when he made the first Fatboy Slim album, 1996’s Better Living Through Chemistry, centred around the Akai S950 and the Atari ST computer running C-Lab Creator software. “I also had a [Studio Electronics] SE1 which was basically a Minimoog that had memories and MIDI, a Roland Sound Canvas just for traditional instruments — cymbals and things like that — and obviously a 303.”

So great was Cook’s love of Roland’s originally-maligned bass partner to the Drumatix, which had been co-opted and reimagined by acid house producers, that he named the first Fatboy Slim single ‘Everybody Needs A 303’. “It only had four knobs to twiddle,” he says of the 303’s appeal for him. “You could learn the permutations of what happened between the four of them. And the great fun was that you did it all live. I had a Kenton Electronics sync box, ‘cause the 303 didn’t have MIDI. Hilariously, the retrofit Kenton box was actually three times the size of the 303.

Another photo from the article, which offers another, closer angle of the unit, has a caption that specifies it is the Kenton MIDI box.

Everybody needs a 303 — and a Kenton MIDI box that dwarfs it.

In an Instagram post by officialfatboyslim, Fatboy Slim is seen using the Pioneer CDJ-2000 Nexus during a performance at The Sub Club in Glasgow. This model is identifiable by its distinctive rekordbox button layout and the two beat sync buttons above the tempo slider, features not present on the earlier CDJ-2000.
