Smalls would be the subject of an all male bukkake session splat in the middle of 10 garage geezers wearing black string vests hosing him down whilst he’s in his pouch and bunny ears.
Uugh why did I just think of that.
25 Years of UK Garage
Had the misfortune of going to a Freedom @ Bagley’s night. Not my idea. Wandered into the UKG room and it was mostly birds dancing. Most guys were in the corners looking over their shoulders scowling and sucking their teeth at each other whilst occasionally bending their knee to the snare.

hugopal please show me the sasha gig where at least 200 black girls are in attendance joyously dancing away.
And before you start with your spoilt brat temper tantrums throwing all your toys out of the pram, screaming shrilly like a couch potato about cultural marxist identity politics, let me pre-empt you. Dance music has always been poppy, rnb influenced, commercial hedonistic gear, right from the 70s onwards, you just attach a weird attitude of authenticity for functional music which cannot ever truly offer the subcultural credibility and validation you so crave. Own your lane.

[deleted] Flares and Hugo riffing. The mind fucking boggles.
Flares, last sniff of the action (his words, not mine) was 2000 and has been irrelevant ever since, so it does balk a bit to read over-thought drivel like this.
bosstrabs 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.
INTO THE WEEDS WE GO!
Lol!

Along_the_Wire don’t you want to make sweet sweet love to him? Anything can be arranged!
This thread is a massive opportunity for Alistair to post all the trax the “ladies love”. Holy moly, what a gimp.
Fwiw, I heard Sasha drop Professional Widow at System when it was a whitle label, the least Garage track I can think of tbf.
Looking forward to Millsy sat on his hands for about three weeks before noticing Flares’ return.

When do I talk about Sasha gigs?!

Only parts of it.
[deleted] hedonistic gear
I don’t see how this is in any way synonymous with the “poppy, rnb influenced, commercial” part of your description. “Hedonistic” dance music can be all of, some of, and none of, those things.
[deleted] you just attach a weird attitude of authenticity for functional music
Err, that’s news to me.
I’ve got no idea who you are, and I don’t know how you can act as if you know me.
[deleted] which cannot ever truly offer the subcultural credibility and validation you so crave
Again, I’m not even sure why I’m responding to your post because you don’t appear to talking to me or about me, but rather shouting in to some imagined void.
[deleted] Own your lane
What the heck does this mean?!

hugopal no, all of it. disco was the pop music of its day. if you can’t see this, you need to go back to school. This is why prog house failed. Tried to be something it couldn’t, logistically.

even 92-93 weapons grade industrial Jeff Mills was operating in a poppy p-funk lineage. just ask @zackster - the best techno is mutant alien pop.

I know that in its day some disco was pop music, and some pop music was disco. No idea what the fuck it has to do with whatever you’re blabbering on about though.
[deleted] This is why prog house failed.
It “failed”?! It did too well to be labelled a failure.
[deleted] the best techno is mutant alien pop
This is wrong, but again, not sure what it has to do with anything anyway.

Total longshot and vague description but can anyone recall a speed garage tune from about 97-98 that has a vocal in it that went something like “Fever…you give me fever… fever”? Was played quite a bit at the time - remember John Kelly and Judge Jules both playing it.

Absolutely, everyone stopped making it after around 2001, and quickly jumped ship to tech house and mnml when they realised they were just making [paul van dyk without breakdowns. The Dutch and German cheese merchants had more integrity in this regard than the south coast numpties.
