Seattle Beat Battle – Red Bull Big Tune – 31 July 2009
Okay real quick – it looks like the Red Bull Big Tune Beat Battle is rolling through Seattle tomorrow night at The War Room. Doors open at 9pm and you can get more detail at the Red Bull Big Tune website.
I checked out the website recently myself and found a bit of history there pretty interesting. Turns out that the term “big tune” comes from the Jamaican sound set culture. Different sets would create their own version of a song, so you’d have many versions of the same track for dj’s to spin. Whichever one moved the crowd the most was dubbed… the big tune.
