Fatboy Slim Slams Simon Cowell's 'Ultimate DJ' TV Show
. While news of the impending show has elicited a variety of responses across the dance music universe, veteran DJ/producer Fatboy Slim has let it be known in no uncertain terms that he is not feeling the concept even a little bit. "Simon Cowell was talking about doing a show and everyone in the business, he kind of started approaching us, and we were like, 'F-k off. No - that's a terrible idea!'," the artist born Norman Cook ranted to Digital Spy during an interview at France's Electrobeach Music Festival last weekend (July 11-12). "That's the good thing about dance music; it grows organically through drunk people late at night coming up with stupid ideas. It's not something that can be scripted or transported into a TV studio." Fatboy Slim went to elaborate how genuine dance music simply doesn't fit into television's rigid formats, no matter how hard programmers try to make it work. more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
