Fatboy Slim was the secret guest DJ at a rave for toddlers

You've come a long way, baby.
Norman Cook, a.k.a. Fatboy Slim, might not be as popular as he was in the ’90s, but no one suspected he was being relegated to the lowest level of the DJ circuit: playing raves for toddlers. “Sorry Norman, we can only pay you in Duplo, is that ok?” “Sure mate, just make sure me Kool-Aid’s cold backstage this time”.
The 52-year-old big-beat DJ played a secret two-hour set in his home city of Brighton for an audience of 0-5 year olds as part of an event called Baby Loves Disco on Sunday. The event was part of a larger beach party at the Brighton Fringe Festival, and saw Cook mix his hits for the preschool set, no doubt ensuring their conversion to Ibiza pilgrims in later life. Smooth move, Fatboy! Now we’ll all have to deal with Gerber barf everywhere when Kaiyden or Lakynn can’t handle their lager.
No word on what the decibel level was limited to at this thing, or if the police managed to crack down on the influx of Flintstones chewable MDMA. Watch some highlights below:
