Ah sweet thanks for the feedback guys :]

Going to shamelessly self promote here, iv just done a couple of future garage mixes that showcase the deeper side and the more upbeat side, although I do agree Future Garage is an incredibly arsey name for a genre

While we're sharing... "Tattered Sheets", in my signature, is pretty Post-Dubstep in a James Blake sorta way, and this one, "Before Dark" is the same way, but a little closer to Mount Kimbie.

^ did you see my message on sc?

i've been playing way u make me feel at least once a day for the last month

lol no i didnt see! u serious mate??

yup, serious banger- the kind of thing in a set to play at 4 AM which completely re energises you

I've been digging this sound. These are the similarities I've noticed which might help define it, and convince that it isn't garage generically, but actually a sub-style of it.


- Overall dark sound. It lacks a certain very-high brightness, and has present but not dominating subbass, which implies the bias of vinyl record.

- Wooden percussion. The kick is often synthesised, possibly because of its subby nature, but the percussion tends to be natural wooden samples and not metal. Hihats often aren't present at all, and aren't a main feature like the shuffly hats in dubstep. The hits also sound like they could have been sampled from vinyl. The loops don't follow a strict 2-step or four-to-the-floor backbeat feel; they have more convoluted hits, and sometimes a snare on the 4.

- Live pads, like strings, orchestras or choirs rather than synth pads. Not a strict rule.

- Emotional themes, often about intimacy.

- Consistant structure, rather than drops and break downs.

u mean a genre of burial clones? ^

I actually do, it was a good interpretation.

Actually i have noticed a general lack of live pads in this kind of music.
Alot of Burial's stuff sounds kinda cold and alienating to me (in a very good way, mind), and his use of synthesized pad sounds really contributes to this. Sure in Archangel there are live pads but generally i haven't noticed much of it in future garage or post dubstep or whatever it is called now....

Your really over complicating this stuff man....

From 2003:

In case somehow you didn't know about it already:
http://www.futuregarageforum.com/

Dubstep is long over, even post-dubstep is over. Get over it.

We are starting to veer towards an After the Future type ting, which has already been done.

Meanwhile in another sector, cats are hypothesizing that the future ain't the same as it used to be.

If Dusk & Blackdown's latest mix is anything to go by, im not interested at all.
