We'll I obviously wasn't there, but the idea that a commercially popular UK Dance 5-piece all star playboy bunnies gone power rangers invalidating a microcosm of dance music history, just perturbs me to no end.

it sounds like slowed, watered down, bubble gum Garage...


I wonder where that slick sexy production went.

This song has been stuck in my head literally every morning for about 8 years :(

I thought this was beat up spice girls for ruining garage thread..

and yes - I did cycle it into an examination of techno pop characters..but it's still relevant..

Feel free to bend it back towards commercial garage if you will..



We never had UK Garage here in the states...

No individual/group have ever ruined a genre of music anyway.

Edit: I blame Mala.
DAT INSTRUMENTAL
so good. sounds like toasty! got any more stuff like this?
man what a shame i was a kid when garage was around :(
i mean really, it's like the perfect form of dance music: heavy basslines, interesting rhythms AND you can dance with girls to it. it's like dnb gone sexy. of course it's cheesy as fuck but frankly i don't care.

21 seconds kinda sucks tho. the vocal delivery is so.... underwhelming. doesn't get me hyped up at all.

It was totally the commercial stuff and the champagne drinking and whatnot that drove a lot of people to the underground. Dark garage and dubwise 2-step (soon to be known as dubstep) was the reaction against all of the pop garage that was happening at the time.

I really want to get more Garage stuff unmixed as 320s. I know one of the guys from groove chronicles does a sideline in re-releasing old tunes now, got Steve Gurley - Hot Boys from that website, wherever it is, recently.

edit: It was DPR recordings but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment

Props for this, I can already tell Garage is gonna be more challenging than Dubstep to mix, Garage is far more calculated.

I dunno man, garage can be easy if you wanna make it easy.Definately check out EZ if you wanna hear a master at work mixing garage, the man is insane. You can do a lot of awesome shiz with the crossfader when mixing garage and you can cut your mixes up a bit more than with dubstep which tends to be more long blends.

the US/rest of europe didn't like it so it died

not to take anything away from the UK... just saying your spin on garage reached its saturation point and failed to catch on elsewhere in mass, so it couldnt grow, where in contrast the worldwide appeal of DNB and Dubstep caused explosions to sustain the scene.
