Garage, it’s where you put the junk you don’t want in your house.

Dunno what’s worse, garage or reggaeton

Another example of Ed’s vital importance to the board.

Ewww, music for council estate crackheads who think that ‘The Artful Dodger’ is a visionary and enjoy displays of synchronised stabbing on TikTok

When Sweet Like Chocolate Boy used to get dropped at Volts on Kingston in the late 90s, the place would go off BIG TIME.

    Someone post Spin Spin Sugar ffs.

      Smallman1 immediate kneeslide across that wood effect dancefloor then up into a kick step in my YSL ‘coral’ shirt

      3 bottles of Miller at £1 each, oversized YSL shirt and Armani jeans.

      All rounded off with a pair of Base loafers and a shedload of Cool Water.

      Or winning as I like to call it.

        The horrible vocal heavy stuff can do one, but there is some decent 2-step out there in my humble. Remember hearing some wicked dark garage at Glastonbury 2000. None of that rinsing zone bollocks. Just some really cool breakbeat without the shitty vibe.

        Got a few mates who are still bang into it. Always thought it was absolute shite myself.

          Come over here to Aiya Napa and we’ll large it up Smalls!

            I hope you keep them well apart from the Goa Trance crew?

            Could be dangerous

              This is a new low to this board. Why would anyone make this a topic.

              I’ve lived in essex for years and it’s shite like this that ruined clubs here in the early 2000’a when music got decent in lots of others parts of the country

                Rich could only dream of starting a thread like this.

                  Yes, all UK garage is absolutely rubbish.

                  Well done lads ♿️

                  That was called being a cunt everywhere else.

                  I agree. Garage is for fucking twats. Aside from it being utterly shit too.

                  RichM calm the hyperbole dear boy, noone has yet cancelled Xpander for being the most racist song ever created. I would hate for you to have a heart attack when it is inevitably cancelled.

                  Smallman1 might create a happy hardcore thread to compete with this one.

                    I’m old enough to remember that whole scene. It completely killed the rave scene then along came speed garage which was the final breaking point for me.

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

                    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.
