Fatboy Slim
The heady days for Norman 'Fatboy Slim' Cook - in the realms of mainstream chart success at least - have probably passed.
Rightfully recognised as one of the pioneers of electronic dance Fatboy owned the 90's garnering astronomical success with 1998's 'You've Come A Long Way Baby' with 'Praise You' and it's Spike Jonze directed video the highlight.
Gigs, residences and exclusive performances at the world's biggest stages have followed since as well as the countless number of adverts, television shows and films (not to mention generic 'party classics' compilations) to have featured his signature tracks.
To many, it is those infamous tracks that still stick in the mind: 'Rockafella Skank', 'Weapon Of Choice', 'Demons' and 'The Weekend Starts Here'.
His musical direction changed somewhat with 2004's 'Palookaville' and subsequently achieved less success, but never enough to diminish the man's reputation as one of the mainstays in this increasingly overcrowded field.
Having played to crowds of over 20,000 at his native Brighton and headlining both the O2 Wireless and Rockness festivals last year Mr Zoe Ball's appeal is still Right Here, Right Now (sorry).
