Beats International was a British electronic music band, formed in the late 1980s by Norman Cook (better known as Fatboy Slim), after his departure from The Housemartins.
Their first album, Let Them Eat Bingo spawned the UK number one single "Dub Be Good to Me", a re-working of the S.O.S. Band's hit "Just Be Good to Me", based around a sample of the bassline from The Clash's "Guns of Brixton" and featuring Layton on vocals.
The second Beats International album was 1991's Excursion on the Version, which featured a greater use of dub and reggae sounds, but failed to repeat the success of its predecessor. This was the last Beats International recording, with Cook next going on to form Freakpower.
