Freakpower

Freakpower was an English band founded by Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim), trombonist Ashley Slater and vocalist Jesse Graham (Bass Cadet). Their music was a cross of acid jazz, funk, soul and trip hop. They are best known for the UK Top 3 hit "Turn on tune in cop out" that also was featured in the "Taxi" Levi's jeans advert campaign in 1995.

90 Hits (Discography):
Date	   UK	Song
Oct 1993   29	Turn on tune in cop out
Mar 1995    3	Turn on tune in cop out
May 1998   29	No way

What happened next?
Freakpower released two albums, "Drive-thru body" and "More of everything for everybody". After their last hit, "No way", there has been little activity, although "Song#6" from the second album was featured in the 2004 movie "Code 46" and the United State EP in 2008 appears to be credited to them.
