Fatboy Slim has shared his remix of Lime Cordiale & Idris Elba’s ‘Holiday’. The Brighton DJ has reworked the penultimate track from the Cordi Elba EP, released earlier this year.
Amping up the summery vibes of the original with heavy bass, Fatboy Slim explained that the remix was created at the request of Elba himself. “When my mate Idris asked me to remix this fabulous collaboration…the answer could only be yes,” he said in a statement. “I hope I have done it justice.”

“Fatboy Slim is one of our all-time favourite artists and one that we have always thought was timeless,” added Oli Leimbach of Lime Cordiale. “‘Holiday’ is a crowd pleaser at any party, and it’s always been in our set list at our DJ sets…when Idris mentioned Fatboy was interested in remixing one of our tunes, we couldn’t believe it.”
“The remix has that classic 90s aesthetic that we grew up with, a nostalgic twist on our own recording,” he concluded.
Having first joined forces onstage in early 2021, Lime Cordiale and Idris Elba managed to channel their mutual love of music into a collaborative EP. Reaching the top ten in Australia, the record spawned four singles including ‘Apple Crumble’, which has since received the royal treatment of being covered by the The Wiggles.
