'' chart. Also, a 'Voulez-Vous (Rare mix)' was distributed specifically to dance clubs. The single also charted at #14 in London's 1989 end of year club chart. It was Iain Williams who coined the musical term big beat to describe the band's sound and explained the concept during an interview with the journalist Alex Gerry for an article in the London magazine ''Metropolitan'' (issue 132, page 9, 6 June 1989) under the heading, 'Big Bang in Clubland. Could Big Beat be the 1989 answer to Acid House?'. Big Bang's sound consisted of various experimental musical elements including heavy hard rock drum beats and synthesizer-generated loops as well as an added suggestion of European influences that at times had a trance-like quality. Their agent 10 x Better released a press release detailing their musical influences that included Dalida, Warda Al-Jazairia,

, Tamla Motown and 70s Euro disco. Big Bang always stated ''Cold Nights In Cairo'' gave a better impression of the big beat sound they were aiming for than their recording of '' Voulez-Vous'' did. Club DJs picked up on this and both tracks became club floor-fillers. The concept of the big beat sound was later picked up on and adapted by many club DJs and went on to become widely used by many successful musicians throughout the 1990s.

1989: Arabic Circus Tour

During 1989, Big Bang performed several concerts to publicise the release of '' Voulez-Vous'' with their lavish Arabic Circus Tour that consisted of various circus acts including acrobats, one-wheel bicycle riders, fire-eaters, jugglers, flying trapeze artists and a belly-dancing troupe.''Time Out'', 20 September 1989, page 5 & 93, Big Bang Arabic Circus Tour Big Bang were joined on stage by the vocalists Teresa Revill and Jasmine Ventura.
