Fatboy Slim Will Be 'Unofficial Ambassador' For Brazil World Cup

Fatboy Slim presents Bem Brasil

Fatboy Slim's new album will be released just ahead of this year's World Cup, and it will feature a distinct Brazilian flavour.

'Fatboy Slim presents Bem Brasil', which roughly translates as 'Very Brazil', includes brand new material plus remixes and edits from the likes of Eats Everything, Claude VonStroke and Psychemagik amongst others.

The DJ, whose real name is Norman Cook, is well known for his love of football and of course music, and this latest album sees him marrying those two passions together just in time for the 2014 World Cup.

At the prospect of releasing the album this summer, Fatboy Slim said:

"Given my love of Brazilian music, parties and football it is no surprise that with the World Cup happening this year I want to share that love by providing a soundtrack for the summer, based on Brazilian music."

Watch the video teaser below, and 'Fatboy Slim presents Bem Brasil' will be released on May 26.
