big beat
Heavy electronic rhythm
Big beat is a style of electronic dance music that emerged in the 1990s, characterized by heavy breakbeats, distorted synthesizers, and rock-influenced samples.
Acts like the Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, and the Prodigy defined the genre with tracks that crossed over from club scenes to mainstream radio.
The sound emphasizes driving rhythms and a raw, energetic feel that distinguishes it from smoother house or techno styles.
