Default It's Big Beat week!
Tore may currently be taking a little break but fear not, weekly themes will continue here at MB!

This week is Big Beat week!

Personally i haven't ventured far outside of the more common, commercial names of the genre but the electronic forum has always been reasonably busy here so please, feel free to discuss the genre in more specific detail, post your favourites, give us some of the history or throw some recommendations at the lesser educated among us.
