From around 1997-2000 the sound of UK Garage became the
biggest sound in dance music topping the charts and producing a slew of one hit
wonders and endless sound-a-like remixes. Starting with what was titled “Speed
Garage”, which combined the 4 to the floor house beat with the low end
basslines of drum’n’bass – then morphed into “2 Step”, which became more
commonly known as UK Garage, in which the light tinny drum sounds combined with
r&b vocals, tinny keyboard stabs but still a rumbling bassline. What started out as an underground phenomenon
soon became over taken by Top 40 remixes and endless UK Garage bootlegs of
popular rap and r&b hits. The sound became very popular at club islands of
Ibiza and Ayia Napa but became so over saturated and cheesy it died a natural death
to make way for the darker styles such as Dubstep. Oddly enough this light end of the dance
music spectrum seems to have made a come back with popular dance acts like JLS
having UK Garage remixes made of their Top 5 hits. This very special mechamix
covers the gamut of the sound of UK Garage from the late 90’s til the early
2000’s with some of the biggest hits and remixes of the time and combining both
original Speed Garage anthems with 2 Step classics and exclusive bootlegs!
