People like the Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers – we saw it as very similar to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, who grew up listening to soul records and blues records and then sold an English version of it back to America.The Prodigy's song " Firestarter" went to number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was a number 1 hit in many other countries, including the Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary and Norway. The genre's most successful acts would further change their sound; more prominently, the Chemical Brothers releasing more material with direct house and techno characteristics (including " 4x4" beats which resemble those of house and synthesizer sweeps and noises, marking a departure from their big beat sound consisting of syncopated breakbeats and hip hop samples) inspired by the success of the Gatecrasher club and the trance movement, which would reach a commercial peak between 1999 and 2002. The track does what it says on the tin, the thumping pacemaker of a techno beat combined with airy percussion of 'Hands Off My Beat' and its tribal house borrowings.

Unlike the 1990s genre, it did not cover electronic music; rather, it was used to cover rock and roll and its related genres as the terms were not approved by the authorities in the Eastern Bloc countries (the USSR and its satellite states in the Warsaw Pact). Fatboy Slim's song " Praise You" peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 on May 22, 1999, and his song " The Rockafeller Skank" peaked at number 76 on the Billboard Hot 100 on January 15, 2000. Big beat tracks have a sound that includes crescendos, builds, drops, extended drum rolls, and sounds such as spoken word samples, dialogues from film and TV, additional instruments such as Middle Eastern strings or sitars, explosions, air horns, sirens (usually police sirens) and gunshots.The band's sound consisted of various experimental musical elements, including heavy drum beats and synthesizer-generated loops as well as an added suggestion of European influences that at times had a trance-like quality. In August 1998, the Crystal Method's song "Comin' Back" went to number 1 on the Dance Club Songs chart. Following this release, Big Beat Manifesto is becoming more and more like an actual manifesto for deep house in all its shapes and sizes. The Prodigy's album The Fat of the Land went to number 1 on the Billboard 200 in the USA in July 1997.
