This one will be out on the 5th June on SOUND THIS RECORDS.
Rory goes Acid Jazz!
NEW DJ MIX - During my adolescence, when most of my high school contemporaries were listening to either Emo, Nu-Metal and Commercial R&B, I was really into my Acid Jazz (despite, like Big Beat at the time, it was no longer in vogue). ( https://www.mixcloud.com/RoryHoy/acid-jazz-mix/ ) Think Jazz-Funk meets Hip-Hop, Breakbeat, Disco and House mashed together in one gourmet package from the likes of Jamiroquai, Brand New Heavies, Young Disciples, Gang Starr, Freak Power, Incog
OUT NOW - Smooth Orchestral Thinking
Today sees the release of my new EP ‘Smooth Orchestral Thinking’ on Diesel Recordings. ( https://open.spotify.com/album/4XGHigVoJoh1cMiX3bgSsL ) The A-Side, ‘Smooth’ is an early 90’s rave style breakbeat future classic, while the B-Side, ‘Orchestral Thinking’ takes the club on a more cinematic tip. The release has already had early support on BBC Radio.
The Big Beat Years - Encore Bonus Beats
So amazed by the feedback for my ‘BIG BEAT YEARS’ mixtape series, I’ve decided to a special “Encore” episode, entitled ‘ENCORE BONUS BEATS’. ( https://www.mixcloud.com/RoryHoy/the-big-beat-years-encore-bonus-beats/ ) When making these mixes, I had to cut a few tunes out to keep the mixes to 1 hour in length, as well as a few tunes that I only just remembered once I got the old grey matter working! So here they all are (as well as some suggestions from you fine listeners)! I’v
Rory teams up with Martyn Long on new single
OUT NOW - Just collaborated with fantastic House DJ Martyn Long and Jess Gold on a brand new single called ‘Shine’. ( https://open.spotify.com/album/3jJy2doZVE55NuXluLYkMA ) It’s a different genre to what I normally do, being a full-on pop toe tapper that will get everyone up dancing with an ear-worm hook and funky bassline!
The Big Beat Years Episode 10
We’ve finally made it, here is the final (or is it?) episode of my mixtape series ’THE BIG BEAT YEARS’ entitled ‘Big Beat in the ’20’s’. ( https://www.mixcloud.com/RoryHoy/the-big-beat-years-episode-10-big-beat-in-the-20s/ ) The finale episode focuses on some of the more recent fourth wave of Big Beat productions from the current decade, from newer Big Beat acts such as Crash Party, Sonale, and X-Ray Ted (plus some tunes from some more established artists) and new Big Beat la

The Big Beat Years Episode 9
So here we are for the penultimate episode of my weekly mixtape series ’THE BIG BEAT YEARS’ focusing on the entire 2010’s decade! ( https://www.mixcloud.com/RoryHoy/the-big-beat-years-episode-9-2010-2019/ ) As stated in the descripton of my previous episode, Big Beat was starting to have something of a mini revival in Europe, plus even some of the old BB veterans started to make new Big Beat tunes (plus 2018 was the year I wrote my ‘Little Big Beat Book’!). Despite a lack of
The Big Beat Years Episode 8
Here we are for Episode 8 of my weekly mixtape series ‘THE BIG BEAT YEARS’ ( https://www.mixcloud.com/RoryHoy/the-big-beat-years-episode-8-2003-2009/ ). Today’s episode focuses on 2003-2009, A time when it was REALLY uncool to like Big Beat (unless you were me, that is)! Despite all of this, something of a mini revival was starting to emerge during the end of this period (a low-key third wave, if you will), especially in European regions, plus a certain Rory Hoy was starting
The Big Beat Years Episode 7
Here we are now into Episode 7 of my weekly mixtape series ’THE BIG BEAT YEARS'. ( https://www.mixcloud.com/RoryHoy/the-big-beat-years-episode-7-2000-2002/ ) This episode focuses on the genre’s twilight years of mainstream popularity circa 2000-2002, when Big Beat sadly became a very dirty word in the industry. Ironically, this mix features the highest selling tune of the whole genre - Junkie XL’s absolutely awesome (and legendary) remix of a very famous Rock & Roll legend fr
