Fatboy Slim has become the first DJ to ever perform at the House Of Commons, as part of a competition for find the best new DJs in the UK.

Slim, used to playing to around 250,000 people on Brighton Beach, had to make do with being the warm-up act for Bryce Moore, an engineering student from Corby who had won the DJ-ing competition.

The superstar DJ told BBC: "I've played some exciting and unique places around the world, from Bondi Beach to the Great Wall of China to an igloo, but playing in the House of Commons might be the most unique to date."

Moore, aka Bryce Fury was chosen from over 200 DJs at the House The House final in February and followed Fatboy Slim onto the stage at the Terrace Bar at the House of Commons.

The amateur DJ admitted to feeling a bit overwhelmed, saying: "It's a bit daunting to meet someone who is a living legend.

"This is a massive opportunity for me, to meet so many important people."

The House The House competition was funded by The Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Foundation which encourages 16-25-year-olds to get involved with communities at a grassroots level. The 10 finalists devoted at least four hours to a community project.

Fatboy Slim is set to perform at Rockness festival this year as a special guest, alongside Madness, The Vaccines, Jessie Ware and more.

Speaking about the festival, he said, "Comin' home to baby on the shores of Dores... RockNess I've missed you... it feels so good to be heading back to see how my wayward child has grown."
