Lets create Big Beat like we're back in the (late) 90s

Big Beat is a genre we find on the crossroads of rave, drum&bass, rock, techno and hip hop. And was made big by artists like Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy.
Lets have some fun with youtube stock music, breaks, loops and rhymes (and a big fat MS-20) and create Big Beat as if the Y2K still is a couple of years away !

Chapters:
0:00 Intro
1:13 Youtube stock music sometimes rocks
2:55 Creating the beats (Amen breaks and TR-8S galore)
5:33 (Cross)Rhodes
6:08 Synth time (Korg MS-20, Arturia PolyBrute)
8:05 Old school hip hop raps
8:51 The final result

I will never ever get tired of the Amen break.

Man i always wished there was a big beat revival, Top notch production. If you did a whole album of this id be playing it none stop! Great production arrangement and playing! the video at the end was awesome as well!

[Omglolwut]

Big beat is the one genre I wish there would be a resurgence of

Sounds like it could be straight out of a late 90's to early 00's Guy Richie film. 👍

Jonas, Jonas, Jonas, I know I'm late to the party. But from now on I call you Fatboy Slim. This is awesome! Great job, well done! "I have to praise you like I should"

The propellerheads did some great spy big beat music in the 90s. 😎😎😎😎

The big beat manifesto goes: big beats are the best, get high all the time.

Wow, by themselves, some of the layers sound really uninspiring, but they work together magically. I learned something new today.

[NoSonicLimits]

Bravo. This would have been all over the charts back in the 90’s along with Fat Boy, Apollo 440 and the likes.

[ASCENSiON_]

Definitely reminds me the most of Fatboy Slim with a little bit of The Prodigy in there, and it sounds great! Big Beat is my favorite genre, and I'd love to see a revival of it!

[idleprepress]

As a 90s kid, raised on this type of music, totally approve the authenticity of both the sound and the groove.Sounds like something between FatboySlim, Propellerheads and The Crysthal Method or maybe JunkieXL.

[endonyxoneaudio]

Dude you're so insanely talented to make these different styles of music sound so authentic!

[Kludgedean]

This is crazy good!
Dude you are insanely inspiring 😍

[lundsweden]

Big beats forever! Good recreation of this late 90s style!

[briannixon]

The final result has exactly the right amount of cowbell :-)

[bluebull]

I think the next big revival will be bigbeat and breakbeat. Modern dance music is always so minimal so it would be refreshing to hear some breakbeats again. Bigbeat was the phat sound of the late 90's.

Enjoying your Let's Create series. How about a Let's creat Acid Techno like Hardfloor in the 90s. Or Progressive Trance like BT for a challenge. Would be awesome to watch and hear your creations!

[sebastiansalt]

The track alone is amazing, the music video brings it to another dimension. 😂

[PoorRoleModel]

In the ironic words of Henry Rollins, "F* that's SO GOOD!" This was massive.

[partyflockske]

the selfmade video with the final track is just superb :) with this big beat track, best yet
