What a ledge.

Favourite Garage DJ was japester DJ EZ, who remarkably pronounces his name ‘Eeh - zed’.

Karl ‘Tuff Enuff’ Brown and Matt ‘Jam’ Lamont.

The Sasha and Digweed of Garage.

Booyakasha!!!!!!

I think it’s safe to say we’ve finally found out what Edwand was really doing when he was pretending to be at The End every week.

    Twice As Nice did a stint at The End Derm, the champagne corks were popping like you can’t believe!

      You were there on the wrong night then. Like the pricks that say they used to go to the hac but on alternative night and fuck all to do with the rave scene.

      It’s like any of the other sub genres, they often start off in just a club or two with a small crowd that are into it that eventually generates enough buzz that it mushrooms in popularity. I remember listening to people like Jason Kaye, Mikee B , Timmi Magic etc when it was a really niche sound but within the space of a few years it just turned into a commercial sound and scene that attracted bellends to clubs that were all about wearing designer labels, Bronson and swigging Kristal.

      Garage/Speed Garage/2-Step or whatever you want to call it was really at the right place at the right time. It benefited from the peak of house music, was popularised on the house scene by people like Armand Van Helden and eventually made its way into the pop charts, which by that point was always going to be game over for any credibility. So Solid Crew being the dregs.

        Reasonable, although Speed Garage and 2-step are very different sounds.

          Completely, but they both had roots in the same kind of scene/sound. I suppose 2-Step was more influenced by R&B, pop music and other shite and was probably a key reason why it was the biggest culprit for destroying itself under the weight of its own bloated popularity.

            whatever but within the space of a few years it just turned into a commercial sound and scene that attracted bellends to clubs that were all about wearing designer labels, Bronson and swigging Kristal.

            Enter Edwand!

              OLB coming in like a wrecking ball!

              Handful of tracks that still sound good. Nu Birth Anytime, Roy Davis Jr Gabriel and MJ Cole Sincere spring to mind.

                Just watched a few minutes of a DJ EZ Boiler Room, he’s about 4ft 5.
