if someone says that to you might as well give up. I'm sick of hearing "garage" being used as a derogatory word. Esepecially by dubstep fans. Especially by people who have recently become dubstep fans.

Fuckin ell i'd almost forgotten about those times, our music was being labelled as garage (it was more breakstep tho) and it was like a dirty word then!! But there wasnt any other pigeon hole for it to go in - maybe breaks, but the beats were too swung/broken/syncopated.

Dubstep's direct lineage is from the deeper darker side of uk garage.

long live garage... "it aint no thing, if it aint got that swing"

Slowed down garage? If anything it's sped up, despite the half step thing...

Anyone noticed tempos going up and up and up recently? I swear a lot of sets I hear now must be pushing 150bpm.. could almost by mixed with 1992 style hardcore.

Might be my imagination but still.

I reckon Haunted must be 145bpm+ at normal speed.

Dubstep is just sped up trip-hop

Yep, like it never happened innit. Fact that all the "purists" that are new to the scene were probably listening to shit dnb and breakbeat a few months ago. Been raiding the garage vaults at Juno, etc and think it was a lot more forward thinking than people give it credit for, certainly a damn sight more original than most breakbeat and dnb in the last few years.

In some cases that's so true it's unreal, apart from the stuff that sounds like illbient of course

Oh, and 1992 hardcore will never die - Trip to the Moon's got more invention and unpredictability in it than most tunes released in the last few years in anything, period.

What is everyone's problem with garage btw - can't dance for shit so you got to nod your head and sway, perhaps?

I have to call it garage, if I say things like dubstep or grime round ere I get looks like when a dog is confused and tilts it head t one side.

LOL ...stray and lame ..

Who remembers RAGGAGE ...???( ragga garage )

I always mixed dubstep with two-step garage - still do. Any of the old timers knows there were plenty of dubby (but not really dubstep) two-step cuts back in the day. True to say would've thought that today's sound is generally much much ndarker. Some stuff dont swing and is like sped up trip hop too. But hey who worries about labels TOO much. Some peeps would say for example that a lot of UK garage wasnt REAL garage anyways - pointing to the original New York / New Jersey blueprint with its religious/bohemian/gay and life affirming vibe. Wouldnt wrry about peeps trying to run your sound down - its them who are the losers!
