Big beat music is probably the most widely known style of electronic-based music in America. Groups such as the chemical Brothers, fat boy Slim, the Crystal method, and the prodigy are all pioneers of big beat.

Obviously it is a wide genre of electronic music. However it does have the few defining characteristics. Fast, heavy, distorted and punk influenced pop, jazz, techno and rock sounds along with psychedelic music influences characterize the style. Obviously certain groups, and artists were influenced more strongly by some more than others.

Fat boy Slim, is more funky. The prodigy, are more punk. The chemical Brothers and the Crystal method are more techno.

Producing Big Beat is all about big sound. The drums should be distorted and loud. Vocals can have a punk edge, and also be distorted. Intense bass lines and synthesizer loops are also characteristic of the style.
Fast drops of elements, explosive addition or return of elements, wind and droning noises and extreme work in the stereo field are also common.

This is style of electronic-based music I first got into. The prodigy’s fat of the land album is still a favorite.
