"Big beat, a frenetic mishmash of breakbeats, techno, hip-hop samples and rock guitars, was the sound of late-'90s rave culture, and no track better encapsulated its manic appeal than the opening track from The Chemical Brothers' era-defining second album, Dig Your Own Hole. More than any other track before it, "Block Rockin' Beats" proved that dance music could be as massive as stadium rock. Within two years of its release, the Chems would be headlining Woodstock."
