fatboy slim – better living through chemistry
release: 02 october 2026
available on double vinyl / 2cd
Better Living Through Chemistry wasn’t just Fatboy Slim’s breakthrough—it helped redefine what electronic music could be in the mainstream. Originally released in 1996, the album arrived at a pivotal moment in UK club culture, fusing big beat, acid house energy, and sample-heavy experimentation into something irreverent, accessible, and unmistakably British. Tracks like Everybody Needs a 303, Going Out of My Head, and The Weekend Starts Here captured the anarchic spirit of the era while laying the foundation for a sound that would dominate late-’90s pop culture. To celebrate its 30th anniversary in September 2026, alongside 30 years of Norman Cook’s career as Fatboy Slim, BMG is reissuing the debut classic across two expanded formats: a 2LP half-speed remastered vinyl edition and a 2CD set featuring a bonus disc of B-sides and a brand-new remix, both complete with fresh liner notes by journalist Alexis Petridis.
