This was Fatboy Slim's debut album as a solo artist, after leaving his previous band The Housemartins and experimenting with various other projects. The album was released on Skint Records, an independent label that gave him more creative freedom than his previous major label deals. The album showcased his signature style of blending breakbeats, samples, loops, and scratches to create energetic and funky tracks that appealed to both clubbers and rock fans. The album contained the UK Top 40 hit \"Everybody Needs a 303\", a tribute to the Roland TB-303 synthesizer that was widely used in acid house music. Other notable tracks include \"Santa Cruz\", \"Give the Po' Man a Break\", and \"Punk to Funk\".

It also spawned four UK Top 10 singles: \"The Rockafeller Skank\", \"Gangster Tripping\", \"Praise You\", and \"Right Here, Right Now\". The album was praised for its innovative and diverse use of samples, ranging from rock legends like The Clash and Led Zeppelin to obscure funk and soul artists like Camille Yarbrough and Andre Williams.

The video won six MTV Video Music Awards, including Video of the Year. The album also contained the UK Top 10 singles \"Sunset (Bird of Prey)\" and \"Star 69\".
