Music Policy:
UkGarage - 4x4, 2Step, Speed, OldSkool Garage.
Why did you start:
For the love of garage. I love to hear garage music, I liked the goodvibe that came with it along
with the bass and the vocals. I Wanted too add more to this music genre which is why I took up mixing, after my first set
of decks and first 50 vinyls, I knew I could do this, So I stuck to it, and here I am.
Fave all time tune:
Robin S - Show me love.
Where is the UkGarage scene going:
In my opinion, what people class as Garage now is diffrent to what it was in say, 1999.
Back then it was more bubbly 2Step beats, High in vocals and with a housey theme to it. Now people are getting confused with
Garage because of what there hearing from the likes of Wiley or Dizzee Rascal that are well in the mainstream and perform
to Grime. People who are well into there 4x4, 2Step or other have there own opinions as whether Grime should be classed as
Garage or not because it is not high in snares like any other type of garage but it is more of a heavy bassline and track
runner for the Mc`s that are all coming out now. Also recently is 3 Of A Kind that are bringing back the old style of bubbly
2Step into the charts with there new release "Babycakes", Hopefully there will be more releases of this kind into the charts, bringing
more awareness to the currently underground vocal, 4x4 and 2Step tunes that arent in the mainstream, bringing back UkGarage
in its original form back to the commercial public eye.
