Big beat music got mainstream in the late 1990s/early 2000s, with artists like The Chemical Brothers, Junkie XL, The Crystal Method, and of course Fatboy Slim – the genre is even named after a Brighton club night that he used to run. Big beat producers made full use of contemporary samplingfrom 1970’s album The James Gang is Joe Walsh pre-Eagles, once again showing us that classic rock has some very usable intros and breaks – the most obvious examples must be Aerosmith’s or Billy Squier’s hmm, wonder if that’s where Fatboy Slim got his club name from?
