The 'Swing' tag got dropped and was replaced with 'R&B' which miffed many, Bigger included, because he never thought the 'Swing' tag should have been dropped. 'R&B' derived from the industry because they wanted to take it to the masses and they thought NJS or swing beat was not a term that rolled off of the tongue. Bigger not wanting to comply with mainstream launched his radio show, chart and a year later tour with the music he tagged as 'Urban' and the now infamous brand 'Urban Essentials' was launched. The tour started off with 20 dates six years ago in the past three years he as completed 100 dates in 1999, 120 dates in 2000, 150 plus in 2001 and 2002 and this year is expected to top 200 dates and in excess of 150,000 people. It has not been uncommon for him to play three clubs in one night and in one amazing 7 day period on the tour he played Reading, Northampton, Southport, Newcastle, Glasgow, Bournemouth and Torquay. It is officially the biggest 'Urban Music Tour' in the UK playing to more people more towns and more clubs than any other tour. The tour used to be done in three month periods with a month gap in between but it had to keep being extended due to demand for dates, so in 2003 it has changed to the entire twelve months being devoted to the tour with just one two week break just after Southport. This amazing tour is the only DJ tour to be sponsored by music industry giants 'Sony' and the tour has broke club attendance records throughout the UK and Europe constantly.
Not wanting to be known solely for his urban endeavours Bigger joined forces with The Lacy Lady team around six years ago to display his extensive knowledge and love for soul and mixing it with the quality end of the urban scene he is renowned for. Off of the back of this the nights 'Urban Soul' and 'Street Soul' have been a huge success around the UK.
