OUT NOW - Sonic Revolution

OUT NOW on DIESEL RECORDINGS - Here is a brand new BIG BEAT single from myself called ‘SONIC REVOLUTION’. A 303 infused anthem designed for festivals and the clubs and hopefully even streaming playlists! No hedgehogs were harmed during the making of this track!

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

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

The Big Beat Years - Episode 5

Hope you’ve been sticking around with my weekly mixtape series ‘THE BIG BEAT YEARS’ as we are halfway through with Episode 5 - 1998. ( https://www.mixcloud.com/RoryHoy/the-big-beat-years-episode-5-1998/ ) This was Big Beat’s commerical peak - the tunes were less heavy and more funky, and, of course it was the year Fatboy Slim released his iconic awesome second studio album ‘You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby’! My personal favourite year of Big Beat - expect some classics from the
