It is characterized by its heavy use of sampled breakbeats, electronic and rock sounds, and high-energy tempos, often combined with distorted basslines, synthesizers, and vocal samples. Big beat draws influence from a variety of musical genres, including hip hop, rock, techno, and funk, and is often associated with the electronic dance music scene.
