OUT NOW - The Moment

Big Beat is back with my new single ‘THE MOMENT’ released appropriately enough on BIG BEAT SUNDAYS. (https://www.bigbeatsundays.com/bbs010.html) Expect loud guitars, breaks and 303 action. Raps, big builds and catchy vocal hooks all tied together in my style to tear up the dance floor. This one has been going down really well in my DJ sets!

New Big Beat DJ mix from Rory

Here is a brand new Big Beat themed DJ Mix from myself to promote tomorrow’s new single release ‘The Moment’ out on Big Beat Sundays. (https://soundcloud.com/bigbeatsundays/big-beat-sundays-guest-mix-2) If you enjoyed my ‘Big Beat Years’ mixtape series earlier in the year, you’ve come to the right place!

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

( 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
