This is a retrospective of a 1990's club in Brighton, UK called the Big Beat Boutique, Mixed by Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook) and was recorded live at the Boutique playing a varied mixture of tunes from Acid House, Breaks/Big Beat, Hip-Hop and Funk.

This mix is typical of the Big Beat era, as the DJ's had a varied ethos providing a rather eclectic night with things as different as 60's Rock music (The Beatles and the Kinks), and Native Tounges-era hip-hop at 45 RPM instead of 33 (That made the rapper's voices sound like Pinky and Perky).

Quite a few good tunes are in this CD like the Incredible Bongo Band's classic B-boy version of "Apache", Fred Wesley (Of James Brown Fame) and the Horny Horns' "Discositdown", and of course tunes from the Funk Soul Brother himself, Fatboy Slim.
Rated 5/5

Nowadays Big Beat is dead. This compilation by the big beat boutique is a real pearl, a real masterpiece. Big beat is that kind of sound which can satisfy people who love electronic music, of course, but people who like rock or hip-hop too. In fact, thanks to this compilation, my musical univers have been larger and I learnt to appreciate hip-hop & rock stuff. I think more people should try to listen to big beat...and stop thinking that this sound is not interesting. Take some breakbeat, hip-hop, rock, house, and acid sound...shake it..and you have the best big beat compilation ever. BUY IT !

This is probably the album that made me open up towards some music genres that I've so far neglected. This is not music that I've usually listened to up until now, but I think it's a wonderful mix.

The music style appears to change slightly about halfway through the set, it becomes a little less melodic I think; I haven't yet decided which half I like more... doesn't really matter anyway, as it's currently one of my favourite DJ mixes and I enjoy listening to all of it.
