I saw the Christopher Walken video late one night while I was drinking and for the longest time,this being before RUclips,nobody believed me until somebody else saw it too.
I've gotta be honest. Now that the corporations are pushing AI generated content theft, I look at sampling differently. I enjoy what Fatboyslim created but he should have given credit to the artist that he sampled. Nobody should have had to hire a lawyer to receive credit for their work.
@@rnrtruestories Oh nice! I actually just started reading “Bedroom Rapper” by Rollie Pemberton. I also just recently learned that Cadence Weapon is from Edmonton 👊🏼
You should cover Moby! Hes like the American Fatboy Slim, and his breakout album Play is the best selling electronica album of all time. That was a cool album, containing elements of rock, alternative, hip hop and techno.
Fatboy always brings back great memories. My friend stole the CD of You've Come Along Way, Baby from Music World just so we could play some cool dance music for a basement party.
The 2nd album was also going to be called "Let's hear it for the little guy". The reason why he's not released any albums since 'Palookaville' is a simple one... he doesn't have to. He made so much money from the singles he can live off them, sadly due to the amount of sampling used in Big Beat the genre's not been the same.
My favorite next to "Right Here, Right Now" has to be "Acid 8000". I mean it has some of the greatest verses like "it's easy to get ass, you can get it anywhere" to "If this don't make your booty move, your booty must be dead".
Wow, this guy has been around for way longer than i thought!!! I always thought he had had a short career. Boy was i wrong! "Praise you" & "the rockefeller skank" were a major part of the soundtrack to my youth, & my generation!! Those songs were everywhere back then! I always found the videos to "praise you", & "weapon of choice" to be freakin' hilarious!!! The story behind the filming of the "praise you" video sounds pretty funny, lol.
The House Martin’s ‘Happy Hour’ was their hit that set the whole UK alight. It was in the charts for ages and because of its great party vibe played at discos everywhere. Always on top of the pops……Caravan of love was nice, but not so fun!
‘Dub be good to me’ was the Beats International buzz. A cover but with the fresh hip-hop sound, it charted and among us forty somethings in UK, we’ll still go nuts for it!
I always wondered what happened to Him. I was a teenger during the late 90's, early 2000's. HE WAS EVERY WHERE!!!! Then, Poof. By like 2002 didnt ever hear from again. Over saturation for sure!
Isn't that called "breaks" or "breakbeat"? This is the first time i ever heard the term "big beat" as a genre. I've been listening to edm since like 94. Im a self proclaimed junglist.
The mid- to late 90s were the peak of Big Beat. But had its roots from late 80s to early 90s. It didnt emerge just overnight. It had its formative years. Just like any new, emerging genre.
@@DontKnowDontCare6.9 I get where you’re coming from, there were certainly more breakbeat and funk oriented aspects of rave but it was still mostly dance/rave music. The separation into sub-genres really didn’t become such a notable thing until the mid 90s. ‘Big Beat’ as a clearly defined sub-genre, distinct from the many components that it built upon, was in the latter half.
That was fantastic. Minus the depression that comes with being reminded of how good music was between 1990 and 2000 😂. What ever happened to Chris Sheppard and the Techno Trip compilations?? And on the non electro music side, I'd love to see where my man Remy Shand is this days. Cheers.
He's still very much alive and well; I met him last Friday at a QnA and its still playing multiple festivals around the world and is now hosting his own parties with the 'all back to minehead' events and touring the world :) He may not be hitting the charts as much as his heyday back in the 90s but hes still a true pioneer and innovator of the British dance music scene, and as a fellow Brighton resident, its still nice to see him out and about in the city including some Brighton & Hove Albion football games! He was very much the core inspiration as to why I become and DJ and producer :) He also put out a collab album back in the mid 2010s by a the name 'BPA / Brighton Port Authority - were gunna need a bigger boat' which is really eclectic and allowed im to stretch his creative muscles with some major names in music - worth checking out. Great video!
What other topics do you want to see me cover?
Matk hollis, talk talk.

Sepultura and firing Max Cavellera.
@@rnrtruestories why did Oingo Bingo never blow up outside Southern California?

Nice to see his full story, bits of which I read in magazines in the late 80s.
I only know weapon of choice with most epic video of Christopher Walken dancing around hotel 🕺
Well done. I really enjoy your vids. Thank you so much for posting.
Awesome piece dude! I can’t believe that as a giant music nerd that I didn’t know about the Ellen McIlwaine sample. 😮
Keep it coming, bro!
Glad you enjoyed it! I’m from Edmonton

Looooove Moby! Used to candy flip to his music when I was a teenager😅
@@SkinnyEatWorld95fuck yes!
bash at Brighton Beach is inssaaaaaaane
Loved his MixMag interview back in the day.
Right now was also used in the Movie Shes All that with freddie prinze jr ..dancing in the prom scene ...
@Ginalopez7877, that was such an awesome film & scene!! That was an important teen movie, for my generation of millennials!

Been a fan for a long time, but I knew very little about the guy. Thanks for your great videos!
I love this Legend! Just saw him do a show a few months ago.
The 2nd album was also going to be called "Let's hear it for the little guy".

My love of techno/electronic music of the late 90's to early 2000's is not complete without Fatboy Slim
Both him and Moby put the genre on the map
Ain't nobody listen to Moby is what Eminem said
Peter Gabriel. Sledge Hammer video was the shit when I was little, still cool
My favorite next to "Right Here, Right Now" has to be "Acid 8000". I mean it has some of the greatest verses like "it's easy to get ass, you can get it anywhere" to "If this don't make your booty move, your booty must be dead".

Right about now.

Wow, never knew he was in an Adan Ant video!
There was another On The Floor At The Boutique by Lo Fidelity Allstars which is a banger too
Great what you tackling other genres too.

Big beat emerged in the mid-late 90s, not 1990 which was still relatively early in the evolution of electronic music.
The mid- to late 90s were the peak of Big Beat. But had its roots from late 80s to early 90s.

I’m here
My second name is Quintin and I've always gone by that name. I love being called Quintin.
Ok, decent music, but compared to Meatloaf, it’s dance garbage.
London 0 Hull 4 was a great album, even though the lyrics were classic dopey college kid Marxist.
I never cared he’s not a real musician
He played bass in the band The Housemartins. They had a few hits in the UK in the 80s.
He also played drums for Disque Attack and was lead singer for a spell.
dude is so overrated compared to prodigy and chemical bros
This guys sounds insufferable.
C-RAP ...
Awful, awful ''music''.
