Sem Jacobs Remixes Song For Lindy
Fatboy Slim has shared a new remix of “Song For Lindy” by Dutch producer Sem Jacobs as part of the 30th-anniversary celebrations for Better Living Through Chemistry. The remix revisits the opening track from his 1996 debut album and features in the anniversary reissue. Release details
Better Living Through Chemistry marked Norman Cook’s first album under the Fatboy Slim name. Its development was closely connected to Brighton’s club scene and his Big Beat Boutique parties, where he tested music in front of club audiences. The record brought together influences from hip-hop, funk, house and other styles during the emergence of big beat in the 1990s. Album background
The album preceded Cook’s wider commercial breakthrough with You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby, the 1998 follow-up featuring “The Rockafeller Skank,” “Praise You” and “Right Here, Right Now.” The anniversary campaign turns attention back to the recordings that came before those hits. Career context
Jacobs joins the project with a catalog that includes “Blue Berries,” his collaboration with Tagmann, released through FUNKiMAN. His version of “Song For Lindy” adds a new interpretation to the anniversary collection alongside material from Fatboy Slim’s early catalog. “Blue Berries” release
“Song For Lindy (Sem Jacobs Remix)” is available now. An expanded digital edition of Better Living Through Chemistry is scheduled for September 25, 2026, via UMe, featuring B-sides, archive recordings and additional remixes from Chinonegro and Ammo Avenue. Anniversary release information.
