WHAT!? Wiley is the same as he has always been, yeah he makes a few bait more commercial sounding tunes, but from the drop is a banger.

Might just be being nostalgic, but it was THE sound of the late 90's/early 00's, one of my favourite periods of music ever, I dunno, just don't think you could recapture that. The sound has moved on, the classics have stood the test of time, lets not go back and drag through it because people are saying certain producers are relevant again. MJ Cole and Zed Bias are both making tunes that don't sound anything like what they were making 10 years ago.
yup.

Artful (from Artful Dodger) is making a comeback.......but not both of them.
Mosca most definitely has garage influences. Bax/Done Me Wrong is pretty much a mashup of old garage tracks. All the people Mr Bias namechecked making garage sounds are correct IMO. Remember garage wasnt just 2-step it was 4/4 and speed garage also, much more housey influences to begin with. Garage was about from 95ish and it really has a wide range of sounds like what Joy O, Bodikka, Pearson Sound etc are making.

I'm all about taking garage to new and interesting places, but we definitely don't wanna relive 1998-2000. It's all fun in hindsight when we can pick and choose to listen to the classics from that time and aren't forced to endure the exact same tune every time we go out. But hell.. I was in 10-12 and even I remember that at all that shit started to sound the same. Sinewave/squarewave sub, sampled stab, diva/r&b vocals, and a beat that can essentially just be described as 'taking some funny sounding samples and use them to recreate the Amen break's rhythm'.
I love that formula. But if music starts sounding like that again, we're gonna get a whole bunch of people hatin' on that sound and it'll ruin the old stuff too.

Well considering a few of them ended up in prisons, I think they were really trying to be 'gangsters' but then... *in a deep pervy fake accent*... ROMEO DUNN!

WHy? Because the newer, fresher form of Garage is basically defined with this tune:
This tune right here is what will definitely bring people into Garage.We no longer hear chipmunk voices and RnB hooks, but instead we get sub-bass and amazing synthlines. And the fact that it's a remix of an Above & Beyond tune by MJ Cole proved that people are opening up to Garage music. When even someone like A&B are approaching Garage producers for remixes, then it's saying something about the Garage revival scene. Producers like Submerse, Resketch, Boddika, Swamp, Whistla, L-Vis 1990 helped thrive this "Future Garage" sound that will definitely bring in people to the sound, and such a scene has also given us the glorious returns of MJ Cole and Zed Bias, so maybe we might see the return of Club Asylum and the Artful Dodger, hopefully.
And we'll definitely see more of this. Zed Bias is definitely right. And it feels good man.
This tune is fucking terrible
Have it your way dude.
A good Garage refix of a mediocre Trance tune is hard to come by.
