EDM be damned – Norman Cook is looking forward to treating Stradbally to a good old-fashioned acid house rave. Dr. Who, Calvin Harris, the Olympics, and fellow Picnic-ers David Byrne and Giorgio Moroder are all on the agenda as he meets fellow half-centurion...

Forget David Guetta, Avicii, Skrillex, Calvin Harris, deadmau5 and those other (comparatively) young EDM whippersnappers. Summer 2013’s biggest fuck-off dance anthem, ‘Eat Sleep Rave Repeat’ has been conjured up by the turned-50-last-week Fatboy Slim and his fellow big beat survivor Stefano Miele, AKA Riva Starr. Like much of the Cook boy’s career, it’s all the result of a happy accident.
