Smallman1 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.
That was called being a cunt everywhere else.
25 Years of UK Garage
RichM This is a new low to this board. Why would anyone make this a topic.
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.
Maximum Respect for DJ Spoony, Mikee B, and Timmi Magic.
Norris ‘Da Boss’ Windross.
What a ledge.
It was always a London thing
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.
alistair It very much was. Also tied into the London pirate radio scene.
Cankles-McJeggings 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.
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.
UK Garage was utter gash.
Just watched a few minutes of a DJ EZ Boiler Room, he’s about 4ft 5.
Hold my beer!
Shock horror - a music genre had some belting tunes, some crap ones and when it went mainstream it got rinsed with people making money
This was the only good thing to come out of the UK garage scenezz.
A good friend of mine grew up with Deekline.
Which is nice.

It’s great to see Dave, Alistair and headwand all having something in common. Even if it is something so absolutely dreadful in every way imaginable.
Have ledged it with Alistair in person.
Sasha at Fabric last December.
Hursty was in the house too!
I was at Pacha, Ibiza in around 2005 or so and Harry Romero played Double 99 - Ripgroove which was very random in the context of the rest of his set, but it got an unbelievable reaction, the place went nuts
Bo was genius at the time. Hard to believe Lemon deteriorated into such an unlikeable, unfunny cunt.
