Southern Fried Records is a London-based, independent, electronic dance music record label founded and owned by Norman Cook, better known by his stage name, Fatboy Slim. The label was created by Cook in 1994 to publish and market his, and other primarily big beat artist's, releases that major labels would deem not commercial enough for mass release.
The label's roster has featured scene leaders such as Cook himself (under his main pseudonym, and other various aliases), as well as electro funk pioneer, Kurtis Mantronik. Currently, the label has expanded its range of releases to include more house based artists, such as DJ Touche, Grandadbob, Armand Van Helden, Caged Baby, and Black Ghosts. The label is also the home to Icelandic electronic dance music/punk band, Trabant, and Samwell of What What (In the Butt) fame, 2 tone ska band Madness and Manchester based electro-pop band The Whip.
