Lots of stuff on the Ramadanman, Blawan, Bowly, 2562, Untold, DVA tip. Got a raucous response. Wish I had recorded.
Sounds cool, but that's not really "uk garage".
I so wanted to go to DEMF too...
Oh, I know, but I don't think I could have just busted out with straight up UK garage there. LOL. Have to keep it on the weirder tip to pull it off in the D.

Needs to come back to how big it was though for definite.
As much as I like a massive dirty banger that makes you shit yourself, it'll never take away from the cool Old School vibes
we like good music too man!
hey, you wouldn't hire a clown to fix a leak in the john..so why do you let these hooligans tear down the biz?

All of those names make me want to fly the flag. Come play Philly.
I don't know what you want to call it, but all the guys mixing UKG with futuristic skippy beats right now are the ones making the moves

Deadboy and Joy Orbison really went hard on the garage last night at wigflex. Like, really hard. It was absolutely incredible. James Blake broke out a few modern 2step pieces too. It's nice to see everyone going back to their roots aswell as mixing in new flavours too (Deadboy and Joy Orb both slotted their own share of tunes between all the garage). Nothing quite gets a room moving like UKG.
There's a night in Texas now where they play mostly garage but they definitely mix it up.
I play mostly around 130 - 140 bpm House in all it's variations - so garage tunes sometimes get dropped to break up the monotony or if the mood calls for it. But as far as playing just ONE kind of music all night??? Sounds like that would be incredibly boring to me.
