After looking at one of the most influential Big Beat artists last Thursday, today we look at a massive tune from the other massive Big Beat artist to come out of England – The Chemical Brothers. Hey Boy Hey Girl was released on their 1999 album “Surrender”, however had been played and appreciated as early as 1997. It peaked at number 3 on the UK charts, and was a dance smash at the time. The beat is, well, big, and the lead synth is somewhat harsh but undoubtedly the Chemical Brothers’ style. The vocal sample is catchy and would have gone down well in the clubs at the time. Watch the music video for a classic Big Beat tune!
