The Little Big Beat Book Rory Hoy

Big Beat was once one of the biggest, but ironically, perhaps most misunderstood musical movements of the Mid-Late 1990&rsquo,s, lead by some of the biggest artists the Electronic Dance Music scene has ever seen, such as Fatboy Slim (AKA Norman Cook), The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy.&nbsp,

It&rsquo,s loud, eclectic sound with it&rsquo,s syncopated beats was a smash around the world, leading to nights of boozy (but good natured) hedonism, and it was the soundtrack to the advertising world of the late 1990&rsquo,s and early 2000&rsquo,s. But, somewhere along the way, the genre got a massive backlash from critics, leading to a very quick and painful death, and became the very victim of it&rsquo,s own success. Where did it go wrong and is there a chance for the scene to experience a revival? With new and exclusive interviews by Rory Hoy from 120 of those who were in the thick of it as well as exclusive Top 5&rsquo,s and Top 10&rsquo,s from the artists themselves – this is a celebratory (and sometimes humorous) look at a music scene that was short lived . . but had a very big impact.&nbsp,
