I like that stuff too, but it seems to be a bit out of fashion now as I can't recall hearing anything recently coming out that's similar. Anyone wanna help me out?
Crystal Method's still purveying the big beat stuff. But, like other trends in electronic music, the whole big beat phenomenon came and went rather quickly. Even the Chemical Brothers have departed from the big beat sound they helped create. Seems like a case of something that percolated underground for years that got too popular/mainstream too quickly, and the artists scattered before the inevitable backlash engulfed them. A lot of them morphed more into trip-hop or various forms of house.
