^^^^ ALL OF WHAT THEY SAID ^^^^

But especially Propellerheads, FC Kahuna, Indian Ropeman and Bentley Rhythm Ace. Some of my favourite albums of all time.

Those Big Beat Elite compilations go for nice and cheap on eBay if you are looking for them.

Get yourself any of the first three FSUK CDs too.

Is The Crystal Method's Vegas in deal? Or my recommendation is too obvious?

[Csar]

Cirrus - Drop the Break / Back on a Mission / Counterfeit

Spoiler

Propellerheads - DecksDrumsAndRockAndRoll
Torpedo Boyz - Headache Music

Spoiler

Mint Royal - On the Ropes

Spoiler

The Wiseguys - The Antidote / Executive Suit

Spoiler

ILS - Bohemia / Idiots Behind the Wheel / Paranoid Prophets / Soul Trader (a great great artist, highly recommended!)

Spoiler

In Alium - Troubadour E.P. (recently discovered, big beats mixed with medieval music)

Spoiler

Bonobo - Animal Magic / Dial M for Monkey (maybe not strictly punchy big beat but similar)
Pretty Lights - A Color Map of the Sun (various styles but also big beatish tunes on it)

Spoiler

RJD2 - In Rare Form (mainly hip hop sounds but all instrumentals, they have something in common, I guess, recommended: The Polyphonic Spree - Soldier Girl (Rjd2 Remix), also RJD2's Breezblock Mix)

Spoiler

Skeewiff - It's All Gone

Spoiler

Wagon Christ - Musipal (maybe a bit more trip hoppish, but oh well)
Some Rae & Christian might also be of interest

Oooh yes, those are pure gold. Fatboy Slim's "On the floor at the boutique" mix album too, it's probably my favourite Big Beat mix.

Edit : oh yeah the Wiseguys album. How could I forget that one ?

[ACIDCHILDREN]

It's not really big beat but I would recommend checking out Plump Dj's - Eargasm, Plump night out and Saturday night lotion.

[The Bloke]

Don't forget the album "Two" by Utah Saints !

Yup yup yup. And while we're talking about Finger Lickin' Records... Drumattic Twins - Drumattical and the first two Finger Lickin' Thang compilations are kinda big beat ish.
Top, top albums either way.

Elite Force, Adam Freeland, Soul of man and Meat Katie are also worth a mention.

[Born In Planet Dust]

For me, labels are kinda screwy especially when it comes to categorizing artists (ahem, for example, the artist this site is dedicated to).  'Big Beat" had quite a few elements (including acid and a pop structure er ish catchiness), but for me, Hip Hop was the key.  Therefore, some of these artists may venture into "trip hop," "breaks" or dnb at times...

Some British guys named Tom and Norman...or maybe it was Ed and Norman?  I don't remember.  Anyway, I don't think the Tom and Ed guys lasted...
Propellerheads
Bentley Rhythm Ace
Wagon Christ (aka Luke Vibert)  The Luke Vibert/BJ Cole album "Start The Panic" is magical btw.
Apollo 440.  "Electric Glide In Blue" is definitely better, but "Getting High On Your Own Supply" still has some pretty decent stuff on it.
Coldcut.  Check out "Beats + Pieces" and "More Beats + Pieces."  If you like that, check out more.  Then listen to "Journeys By DJ" and find out what a dj mix is supposed to sound like. 
Jadell
Wiseguys
Fantastic Plastic Machine
DJ Punk Rock
Death In Vegas
Funki Porcini (check "Wicked, Cruel, Nasty, Bad" & "The Ultimately Empty Million Pounds" album).
The Herbaliser
London Funk All Stars
Overseer
Midfield General
Lionrock
Freestylers
Dub Pistols
David Holmes
Skeewiff
Groove Armada
Monkey Mafia
Sabres Of Paradise

I completely failed to mention that "Storm The Studio" by Meat Beat Manifesto very well could change your life.

Cheers for all the recommendations, folks. Here's one from me:

[Ben Glass]

I used to love this compilation, if you can find a copy or download of it on line somewhere
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Essential-Skint/release/112587

[WhiteNoise]

Epic reccomendations here!

My two cents: get a copy of Junkie XL's soundtrack for SSX Blur. It's a fantastic modern big beat record, good if you're looking for something nearer the pop end of the spectrum. Here's a track from it:

You also may have heard some of the tracks before, many have been licensed for advertising and TV through Extreme Music, they pop up in ads and shows every several months and it's a nice surprise to hear them.

[Spiritual Vibes]

These are all great suggestions. I must say though, there's really nothing that we can compare to the Chem's sound. I've been digging & digging to find 90s breakbeat tracks to go with the Chem's old sound for a mix I want to make, though nothing is just on that same level...

[Born In Planet Dust]

no, nothing else quite is.
