[edit] Other uses of 'big beat'
on the Polish Wikipedia,pl:Big beat, is being described as a 1960's rock-n-roll style, is the 90's term borrowed/reborn?
about the Electronica/Big beat dichotomy, I thought (and hear) Electronica being used much more as an umbrella term for alot of style of electronic music, usually either in the media, or by people who are not into a specific scene or genre, whereas bigbeat/dnb/etc resolution is much more common among fans and sceners. --80.178.219.17615:52, January 28, 2005
- AFAIK Big Beat was a Polish term for Rock'n'Roll somewhere in the 50s and 60s. Dunno really who coined the name, but I agree that it tends to be confusing. --Karkinos 21:24, March 14, 2005

- In Czech Big Beat was used to designate rock music in the 6Os and 70s, typical Big Beat (or bigbeat, bigbít as it was written) would be the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Animals and their czech imitators. --Georgius 19:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Big beat (also Big Beat, or sometimes chemical breaks) is a term devised in the mid 1990s...

- I've created a disambiguation page for alternate meanings... Martin Hinks 19:06, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Just as a further note... isn't that Big band?
[edit] Big beat vs Chemical
There's a reasonable difference between Big Beat and Chemical Breaks. Just compare The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up or Overseer - Supermoves to say, Crystal Method or Überzone. // Gargaj 13:16, 2005 Jun 20 (UTC)
- Crystal Method isn't considered Big Beat? I was going to add them to this page. How would you characterize the difference between Big Beat and Chemical Breaks? Alas, I'm not in a position to go out and buy a bunch of CD's to try to characterize the difference myself. :) --Jay (Histrion) 15:00, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
- i was always under the impression that chemical breaks tracks had more of an acid house feel to them when compared to big beat tracks?--MilkMiruku 23:49, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
ishkur guide think that chemical and big beat didn't are the same thing.
[edit] More other uses
I found this article while trying to clarify what "big beat" means after discovering that jazz-rock band the Sumerian Kyngs use the term to describe themselves (http://www.myspace.com/sumeriankyngs). They certainly have nothing in common with Fatboy Slim, apart from living in Brighton. I think what is described here is just one of many meanings.
BTW, "bigbít" (Czech spelling for "big beat") is still a commonly-used term in the Czech Republic, essentially meaning rock'n'roll.
BTW again, what did the Doors mean by "Texas Radio & The Big Beat"?
