Fatboy Slim - Song For Shelter

Review by Pleasant Hawaiian

Album Review: Song For Shelter by Fatboy Slim Alright, let’s talk about Song For Shelter by Fatboy Slim. This little gem dropped in 2001 under Skint Records, and honestly? It's still got that vibe that makes you wanna crank the volume and just go for it. Genre-wise, we’re talking electronic music with a mix of breakbeat, techno, and house—classic UK stuff that never really gets old if you ask me. So, this album is basically centered around one killer track, “Song For Shelter,” but don’t get it twisted—it’s not just one song on repeat. Nah, there are remixes here that flip the original into completely different beasts. The OG version (Original Mix) is tight, no doubt. It’s got that signature Fatboy Slim energy: big beats, chunky basslines, and this kinda uplifting feel that just locks you in. It’s the kind of tune that feels like sunshine blasting through your speakers, even on a gloomy day. You’ll remember it because it sticks to your brain like gum under a table—you can’t shake it off, and why would you want to? But then there’s the Chemical Brothers Remix. Oh man, this one hits hard. If the original is a warm hug, this remix is more like someone grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking you awake. The Chemical Brothers bring their A-game, adding layers of glitchy madness and raw power that turn the track into something darker and way more intense. I mean, seriously, this remix could soundtrack a warehouse rave or some dystopian movie scene where the hero realizes they’ve been lied to all along. It’s THAT good. Every time I hear it, I’m like, “Wow, how did they even think of this?” The other mixes, like the 20/20 Vision Rollin’ Mix, are solid too. They keep things fresh without straying too far from the core vibe. But honestly, the two tracks I mentioned earlier are the ones that stick out. They show how versatile a single idea can be when it’s handed over to talented folks who know what they’re doing. Reflecting on this album now, it’s wild how much mileage Fatboy Slim gets out of one concept. Most artists would struggle to pull that off without sounding repetitive, but he nails it. And yeah, sure, maybe part of why I dig this album so much is nostalgia—I was probably mashing buttons on my Game Boy Advance while these tunes were ruling clubs—but I think it’s more than that. These tracks have staying power. They remind you why people fell in love with electronic music in the first place. Oh, and here’s a random thought: if aliens ever invade Earth and demand proof of our artistic achievements, I’d hand them this album. Not because it’s perfect, but because it’s real. Like, “Here, take this weird little project about shelter and beats. It’s messy, creative, and human as hell.” Yeah, that’s Song For Shelter. Check it out if you haven’t already.

Martin Puccio was charged with first-degree murder and originally was sentenced to death by electrocution on August 3, 1995. In 1997, the Supreme Court of Florida ruled that Puccio should not be executed due to mitigating factors, so his death sentence was commuted to life in prison, with parole eligibility occurring in 25 years. He remains in custody at the Desoto Annex in Arcadia, Florida.

Lyrics

Song for Shelter (Chemical Brothers Remix) Song Lyrics
I get deep, I get deep, I get deep, I get deeper
Into this thing
The deeper I go
The more knowledge I know
What to sing
What to bring

What?
I get deep, I get deep, I get deep, I get deeper, deeper, deeper
Into the vibe
What? High
Chillin' in the corner at the Shelter all by myself
Checkin' it out I'm not dancin' no more but
Why? Why? Why? What?

How on Earth are you supposed to vibe around the fake ones?
Around the ones that say
They know what is what but they don't know what is what
They just strut
What the fuck?
What?

I get deep, I get deep, I get deep, I get deep, I get deeper
Into this thing
And I pretend that they're not there
I just stare
Up in the booth at the Dreadman spinnin' the song
Spinnin' it strong
Playing things like "when can our House begin?"
That's my shit
What?
Whoooooo!

I get deep, I get deep, I get deeper, I get deeper
When people start to disappear
And it's about six o'clock
Whoo I'm feelin' hot
Take off my sweater and my pants
And I start to dance
And all the sweat just goes down my face
And I pretend that there's nobody there but me in this place
I get deep yo I get deep, what?
Whoo!

I get deep, I get deep, I get deep, I get deep
When he takes all the bass out the song
And all you hear is highs and it's like
"Oh, shit!"
Ahh
I get deep

I get deep, I get deep, I get deep, I get deep
When the rhythm flows through my blood like alcohol
And I get drunk and I'm fallin' all over the place
But I catch myself
Right on time
Right on line
With the beat
And it's so sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet

I get deep
I get deep
I get deep

Why, if house music was air
Then Doctor Love would be my song
And I would only take deep breaths
And fill my lungs with the rhythm, with the bass
I get deep
I get deep

Now it's about three a.m, I see people goin' pliés
Spinnin', jumpin' and grindin'
As if they had wings on their feet
Raising both hands in the air as if Jesus was a DJ himself
Spinnin' those funky, funky, funky house beats

And in this temple we all pray in unity for the same things
Rhythmatic pause without cause
Bass from those high definition speakers
Sitting in the corner on each side of the room
Givin' us the boom-boom-boom
To our zoom-zoom-zoom

The smell of the L lit while walking by
But the music gets me high
Sanctified like and old lady in church
We get happy
We stomp our feet
We clap our hands
We shout
We cry
We dance
And we say
"Sweet Lord, speak to me
Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me"

Because we love House music
And on this night it brings us together
Like a family reunion every week
We eat
We drink
We laugh
We play
We stink

So for all you hip-hoppers
You doo-woppers
Name-droppers
You pill-poppers
Come into our house
To get deep
What?
To get deep

These guys just keep it rollin'
You gotta just keep it rollin'

This remix is too crazy! It starts simply but then it goes harder and harder, brutal and experimental. And the style is undefined (house, techno, big-beat or something else). It’s a real banger? The best version of «Song for shelter»

This is the best version of this track. Chemical Brothers genius and I was lucky enough to see them spin this at Cream almost 20 years ago. Took the Roof off the place. Awesome track. Thanks for putting this one up.
