Cankles-McJeggings ok mate but breeder - the chain is best peak time ball wrecking power prog with all those pyrotechnics explosion sounds and all the stereo panning, until that supersaw synth comes in. Then loses all credibility and becomes posh mans version of paul van dyk.

    This was van Helden’s best track, what an absolute banger on a decent system

    Saw AVH at Printworks a few years ago.

    Absolutely horrific.

      A legendary producer. Not really a stellar DJ. Saw him at GodsKitchen, he pretty much cleared the dancefloor.

      Smallman1 were you there to see him, or did he just also happen to be on the bill? Not sure why you’d really go see him nowadays.

          You do realise you are arguing over which pile of shite smells the most like shite.

              I’m more arguing that pretty much the only good tunes mentioned in this thread don’t “smell” like the pile of shite which was UK Garage (because they weren’t UK Garage).

              Apart from a few oddballs most in this thread appear to have come to the logical consensus that actual UK Garage was crap.

                  You are wasting your time Dave. But more importantly you are wasting mine.

                    I’m probably from the most urban London locale in this thread and will confirm that pretty much the only people who listened to UK Garage were chavs, or people who weren’t actually chavs but for some weird reason wished to imitate them.

                        hugopal It’s really like judging trance on Gouryella and System F, though, some of the shite people listen to to decide UK Garage is crap.

                            That’s the cheugiest thing I’ve ever read on here. Do you have Etsy cushions with that stitched on?

                              Hmm, so what’s the “good” UK Garage then? Cos the only decent tunes people have mentioned were Speed Garage.

                              I was in secondary school when UK Garage was getting big and remember it blasting out of some kids’ speakers and sometimes getting put on at house parties etc. Don’t recall any of it not being gash.

                                  Smallman1 Mr Tooting disagrees.

                                  You live there now, but as you’ve mentioned in this thread you appear to have been in Kingston when UK Garage was a thing.

                                    From back in the day:

                                      alistair Treacles were mad for this

                                      Are you a “treacle” alistair?!

                                        Never understood why they used that Tina Moore sample, it sounds like a cat being strangled. Good track aside from that

                                        Let’s get this party started -

                                        Some cunts tried to start a 2 step/speed/ukg night in belfast when this sound was taking off around the turn of the millennium. The UVF and IRA broke their ceasefires, joined forces, blew up the premises and shot all of the organisers dead. Didn’t seem to catch on over here after that, thankfully…

                                        Men can also dance. There are also many girls who wouldn’t wish to dance to tosh like that.

                                            Am like a one man catherine wheel on a d-floor.

                                            Pure flames.

                                              You mean everyone runs for the fire exits as soon as you turn up.

                                                Smallman. Melting people’s faces off from 40yards since 1998.

                                                Just remembered about a DJ Unique that warmed up for Sasha at Fabric. Must’ve been 2000 or something. Managed to fill the floor then for some reason dropped a UKG tune and cleared the room. Can’t say I ever heard of him again. We were all just staring at each other wondering why he would do that.

                                                Was it my Bo Selecta vid?

                                                Imagine: Me, OLB and Alistair behind the velvet rope. Jeroboams of Cristal on our table. Gyaldem being suaved. Norris ‘Da Boss’ Windross playing an advertised UK Garage classics set. He drops a breakbeat track.

                                                Hugo pops up from nowhere, crushing the bants and general vibe with a persistent nagging about how it isn’t actually a UK Garage track.
