Just when you think you've heard every gem from the golden days of UK Garage, a tune like this one comes knocking at your door to remind you that the journey isn't quite over yet.
I'm British and in my 30s, so I love oldschool garage and drum and bass because it was the first "proper" music that I discovered when I was a teenager (thank you John Peel, God rest your soul). I emigrated to Canada 4 years ago, and you should see some of the really weird looks driving around in my F250 when I'm playing stuff like this! I consider it cultural enrichment.
Me and my friend would listen to Rinse when they were still pirate even though we were in Florida and listening to proper dubstep and such while everywhere played electro house. The mid 00s was fun
I feel you! I moved to BC about 5years ago, no one would really get my passion for dnb/ukg. I attended a few dnb gigs in Vancouver though (Rene LaVice, Camo & Krooked) which was nice.
One of my favourite labels of the early 2000s because when Garage was going commercial the Ghost crew were making dirty underground beats that you'd only hear on pirate radio and at the ghetto raves. Respect to EL-B he's certainly UK Garage royalty. No contest!!!
Damn, I love to go on for hours discovering these UKG gems, as a kid born in the 96 I didn't really to get to enjoy these vibes. The rhythm, the drums, the swing is just insanely good, and the tune isn't really complex, not much elements to it, and it doesn't vary a lot, you just find yourself kinda lost in this rhythm, nodding your head and tapping your foot, your body just wants to move.
This was when we wore suits and loafers garage was down right classy. Crack weed and champagne....only if you had money you'd be smoking crack. Strange but true lol
This is the original sound of underground garage.. London Underground, Passion Fm , Mission Fm etc ! Got this on tape from back in da day 😂 Luv it.. probably one of my fav’s 😍
Saturday afternoons , Black market then across to Uptown . Jay da flex sold me this when I was 16 and what a humble geezer. Remember he asked me why I picked it out of the 5 he gave me to listen to and I said “ heard it on flex and liked it “ I didn’t realise who he was or that he produced it back then as he never let on .......
All i ever read on youtube is what appears to be cited information from wikipedia and forums - the beauty of this era of music is the fact it was a very much physical music format and what comes with that is REAL life interactions unlike today with internet messaging and bullshit social media glory - GO TO A RECORD SHOP AND FEEL the music, feel the history, see the logos on the records, the labels, the mutating emergence of several genres forming into the modern genres we know today. What a time to have been alive to witness this happen - and sadly people want to throw away all of this for the sake modern music for the convenience culture. I am not a purist in any sense, I use spotify to listen to those I dont care for so dearly and who are commercial, but there are still records to be found in UK garage, believe it or not NOT on youtube and I feel safe buying them knowing my money is something I can physically feel rather than a digital copy or receipt of a shitty algorithm encoded compressed audio - we all lose hard drives, we all get corrupted data (mp3 is a license and its ended too) Serious questions over modern music has to be raised where algorithms of sponsored (paid for) preference dominate and influence our music choices as opposed to literally walking into a shop into the unknown and putting a needle on a record and being like 'WOW - I dont have a clue who this is, but thats for me'. I know what brings warmth to my soul. As for the history, what I see in my regular store usually is: US GARAGE, UK GARAGE, SPEED GARAGE, 2 STEP in regards to the garage genre as whole, I dont say no to any of those as I know we are looking at the very DNA of modern music and how it is all one in another. Disco>House>(Paradise)US Garage>UK Garage>Speed Garage>2 Step>Grime>Dubstep>Bassline>Funky>Future Garage (No real order after 2000s era) The historical trail of absolutely fantastic and interesting cultural value of a beautiful (and ugly in some respects) diverse world we live in can seen throughout the progression of house and garage. The mixed communities who made music together from Chicago/London,/New York/Sheffield/Internet - international fusions, also consider the underground vs pop attempts to capitalise on the sound throughout the years - some succeeded and are now branded a joke (Bo selecta with craig david, even today people that just do nothing). But its not really funny isnt it? Where would modern genres such as dubstep and grime be without the warehouse raves in new york for those oppressed communities, where would House be without disco sampling, how would UK garage survive with the gov shutting down pirate radio - shoutout to rinse.fm. It could of all been so different if oppression won over the music and silenced the people - it never did. I have a disliking today over the lack of knowledge modern artists in grime and bassline have and the lack of respect towards the communities that gave them the very ground to stand on, too many career DJs with bassline massive presets and sample packs, too many badmen inciting hatred on one another. Once upon a time women and men had respect for one another, themselves and the music. GET OFF UA-cam, GET A CHEAP RECORD PLAYER, GO TO A RECORD STORE. Thank you to all the brothers and sisters for what has brought many joy to so many over the years, long live UKG in all forms and fuck career DJs, fuck the mock acts, we have hatred in political areas and us as people have something that brings us together
I respect your opinion but I believe everyone should have the freedom to listen to music the way they want to. Without the internet, I wouldn't be listening to most of the music I listen to today. And I definitely wouldn't be able to interact with the community of a genre whose popularity is localized in Western Europe, far away from a recently recovering communist country. Music would be a solo experience, and I much prefer discussing, debating and sharing with the many people that wish to analyze music online.
I've seen numerous people who live in the UK completely lose touch with the music they're listening to or get stuck musically. You can see it a lot in these comment sections too. It's saddening and I don't think you should take your advantageous location for granted. Lots of people who used to listen in the early 90s became "back in my day" folks and refuse to listen to anything new anymore, at the expense of their own enjoyment. Lots of people listen to one genre for years and years. Thanks to the internet I'm always at the forefront of music discovery and in touch with what's going on. And you, for one, are lucky to notice the links between genres and how they formed, but many others complain that "garage is dead" or "that new dubstep thing is complete bullshit for kids". They lose that cultural connection they might have had if the internet provided easy access to releases and information.
nah todd edwards is mainly credited with the vocal chopping commonly associated with ukg, it was ez n them heads that were boostin house tunes to the 130s n it took off from there
I heard he died of a broken heart, that some chick didnt want him and that it was too much to bear. Probably that and pneumonia. Rip Legend, wrote bangers like Cuba.
+James Riskoe THE BEAT IS FUNK !!!!! IM A MUSICIAN AND I CONFIRM YOU THAT !!!!!! THEY NAMED IT UK GARAGE BECAUSE THE MUSICIANS USED THE FUNK BEAT , SPEEDING IT UP IN THE CLUB PARADISE GARAGE (THATS WHY SO CALLED UK GARAGE 2 STEP , 4 STEP ETC) ..... THERE IS NOT GARAGE BEAT BUT SPEEDY FUNK WITH THE FORM OF UK GARAGE !!!!!! YOU CAN HAVE THE SAME ANSWER AS WELL BY UK GARAGE MUSICIAN ANTONIO WITH HIS TRACK "HYPER FUNK" HE NAMED IT LIKE THAT AND NOT "HYPER GARAGE" BECAUSE HE KNOWS VERY WELL WHAT IT IS THAT BEAT !!!!
+Konstantinos Georgiou The name actually comes from the club "Paradise Garage" In New York where house came from initially, then it got exported to UK where they created 2step garage. Just FYI
+poneymagik1337 YOU ARE A HUMAN RUBBISH WITHOUT CONCIENCE AND SOUL .... EVEN IF SOMEONE DOES A MISTAKE (ABOUT THE NAME OF UK GARAGE COME FROM AND NOT ABOUT THE BEAT WHICH IS CLEARLY FUNK AND ONLY AN IDIOT CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT) , A TRUE HUMAN BEING NEVER INSULT HIM ..... ONLY A RUBBISH LIKE YOU !!!!! I CAN SEE VERY CLEARLY WHAT YOU CONSUME IN YOUR LIFE BY THE WAY YOU CONCLUDE YOU ANSWER TO ME !!!!!!!!! ALCHOOL , DRUGS ECT .....
Sounding as fresh as ariel pods in 2024 still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you United Kingdom for giving us such art!!
🔥🔥
Just when you think you've heard every gem from the golden days of UK Garage, a tune like this one comes knocking at your door to remind you that the journey isn't quite over yet.
That's the beauty of 2-step .... The gift that keeps on giving! ;)
Inside!
ya fam
Far from over, I'm still searching
true life!!!!
I'm British and in my 30s, so I love oldschool garage and drum and bass because it was the first "proper" music that I discovered when I was a teenager (thank you John Peel, God rest your soul). I emigrated to Canada 4 years ago, and you should see some of the really weird looks driving around in my F250 when I'm playing stuff like this!
I consider it cultural enrichment.
You got to experience two epic scenes. The Drum & Bass scene in Canada is going on strong.
Dude I feel you, 3 years in Canada and it's weeeird with UK stuff here
Me and my friend would listen to Rinse when they were still pirate even though we were in Florida and listening to proper dubstep and such while everywhere played electro house. The mid 00s was fun
UK stuff is huge in the bass underground on the west coast of Canada
I feel you! I moved to BC about 5years ago, no one would really get my passion for dnb/ukg. I attended a few dnb gigs in Vancouver though (Rene LaVice, Camo & Krooked) which was nice.
sounds INSANELY ahead of its time
!!!!!!
One of my favourite labels of the early 2000s because when Garage was going commercial the Ghost crew were making dirty underground beats that you'd only hear on pirate radio and at the ghetto raves. Respect to EL-B he's certainly UK Garage royalty. No contest!!!
Is this El-B ? El B was Groove Chronicles right?
@@JD83000 Yep it was him and DJ Noodles. By late 1999 early 2000 EL-B started doing his own thing and set up the Ghost Crew.
This sounds like early dubstep
Damn, I love to go on for hours discovering these UKG gems, as a kid born in the 96 I didn't really to get to enjoy these vibes. The rhythm, the drums, the swing is just insanely good, and the tune isn't really complex, not much elements to it, and it doesn't vary a lot, you just find yourself kinda lost in this rhythm, nodding your head and tapping your foot, your body just wants to move.
You should check out pirate radio shows from that era. It's a good way to see how it all happened at the time. Big up Nebula!!
yesss the swing
One of the best examples of garage for me, classic.
EL-B is up there with some of the best producers from that era!!!
Totally agree
This was when we wore suits and loafers garage was down right classy. Crack weed and champagne....only if you had money you'd be smoking crack. Strange but true lol
My Dad likes to step to this whilst he is washing the dishes !
This is the original sound of underground garage.. London Underground, Passion Fm , Mission Fm etc ! Got this on tape from back in da day 😂 Luv it.. probably one of my fav’s 😍

Yeah he's a nice bloke. Their tunes bloody expensive at the time. Planet Phat was way better.
Also liked Rhythm Division, in Bow.
This tune is strictly for the heads that know!!
+Mr Byer
Classic Sunday vybes right there. Mission Fm Sunday afternoon after the Saturday night
+Mr Byer still
i dont know but does that mean I cant enjoy this song?
Only if it's a Sunday lol
Kirsten Durst Yes it does lol!
el b is one of the goats
"Smoke a second roll, what?" Game tight!
brilliant track, was totally stand-out and unique in the most beautiful way when we were smashing it out on the Pirate sets
it all starts in the club
Ultimate 2-step track to juggle beats in with a 4x4 mix
Spoony just played this on his live stream. 2020 lockdown vibes.
THAT spoony?
It all starts in the club🔥💃 whats not to love❤👌
only the legit garage heads know dis 1, big tune even 21 years later (think about that!)
amazing groove on this garage classic
yessssss
I'm having a banging night on me ones, big up the garage crew!
happy tenth birthday to this blessed youtube video 🌀🕊
The flip side of this is my absolute favorite
this is the type of beat that you heard on radio and try to shazam while your driving then crash an tottal your car.
13!
ALIENSHADZ 13 Haha I relate to this
🔥🔥🔥
Woh mate... put this on my playlist ages ago but just listened again, such a naughty beat

Absolute pure chrome classic dank banger
Every now and then I still remember I have this on 12 inch, fuck what a classic
El-b, groove chronicles. The finest 💨
Love this so glad i found it
This is still certi after all these years
jamie xx played this during his boilerroom set. only took 2 hits of that clap/snare being mixed in before i started creaminggg
That was one hell of a moment at that time sheeeee
Masterpiece
Pure gold this one.
Big up the ReD Records, South London massive......

Cant get enough of this! the beat is jokes!

Well written. Thanks.
No thanks, I want to be able to skip tracks I think are shit and change album without looking through a huge fucking pile of plastic discs

yeah fam if u don't live in the UK your advice isn't worth much

This is probably cultural appropriation because I'm not English but... this tune is siiiiiiiiiiiiick mate
Innit.
LOL FUCKOFF enjoy our shit as much as you bloody like mate....anyway Garage evolved from a bunch of things including US house
damn right it did
garage is actually from the US (Todd Edwards etc), it just kind of found its proper home in the UK.
nah todd edwards is mainly credited with the vocal chopping commonly associated with ukg, it was ez n them heads that were boostin house tunes to the 130s n it took off from there
it all starts in da club
Top tune - nice one for the upload
Massive.

apollobelladona Wait, did one of the producers to this die?
Yes. I used to go to the same school as Noel. He died of pnemonia almost 7 years ago.
Damn, that sucks. R.I.P then
I heard he died of a broken heart, that some chick didnt want him and that it was too much to bear. Probably that and pneumonia. Rip Legend, wrote bangers like Cuba.
