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 to make his own little mark onto the scene! This episode features cuts from The Chemical Brothers, Freddy Fresh, The Prodigy, Featurecast, Kidda, Sonny J, BigM, Max Sedgley, Fatboy Slim and . . Amy Winehouse!
