As a 40yr old man from the states I feel blessed I found UKG in 97. I started spinning UKG by 2000 and nothing makes my head heart grove like that sound. It's epic to say the least.
Big up the crew across the Atlantic!!
crazy to think you were the age that i am at, discovering the same music
Totally! I’m an American who heard the Dreem Teem on radio 1 and was absolutely hooked, this was in 2000! Still bumpin’ UKG to this day.
25 year old in the states just now getting into UKG. Haven’t been absolutely hooked on a genre like this in a long time.
It's like every UK Garage doc or interview on youtube is just a treasure trove of important historical info
Yes I’m almost confident this is the only music that I want to make, for a long long time 🎉
5 years later, there’s a great new UK garage scene emerging
Garage died yrs ago lol
I could listen to him speak for ages. It was great watching this!! I knew he worked at S.O.U.R. which makes sense how he met Elisabeth Troy. Big up the London Underground FM 89.4 crew!! MJ Cole is a national treasure. One of the best UK Garage producers!!
He just detailed my entire experience with UKG / 2 Step and Dubstep. The subgenre part is legit. Sub-low ( Jon e. Cash) 8 Bar (Musical Mob Royale) and he clearly speaks facts on the evolution, how Garage went Dark (Oris Jay) and split into Grime and Early Dubstep with more Indian and middle eastern instrumentation behind it which then moved to more Reggae Dub influence. Then the Wobble bass thing happened and caspa and rusko which then pushed the bass as the primary sound .. and "brostep" is born and as Matt points out , when that happened in Garage ( darker sound) the ladies leave the scene . same thing happened in Dubstep, which is why it got called "brostep" . A room full of dudes waiting for the Drop, and a bunch of male producers making more aggressive sounding music. UK Garage, never died, A lot of us DJ's played it in the States through every genre change, through every evolutionary split - Bassline, UK Funky, Grime, Dubstep, 2 Step, and the list of subgenres goes on and on. Big up to MJ Cole who played to a relatively sparse crowd here in Boston well over a decade ago with the members of Soul Champion Crew. ( G Notorious, Senyo, Jam-2 and DJ Elyte aka Eli Goldstein of Soul Clap) I want to see some PROLIFIC DUBBS tracks in 2018 - I'm still playing Scooby/Shaggy - Will Philips :)
Do you know the real dubstep community on reddit ? We listen to new dubstep release (no brostep btw)
Lol a room full of dudes waiting for the drop.
Bro, I respect you but...how could you miss Wookie and Sticky for the evolution of brostep? Not to mention all the producers behind SO SOlid pushing the sound including Synth and Megaman, Heartless Crew, Pay As You Go's Wiley and Teebone, Nasty Crews Jamma...gosh so many were in the game before Caspa and Rusko. This was just before grime became grime, and it was still called garage, but we called it rudeboy garage over in Milton Keynes because we didn't know what else to call it. I was 14 when that sound was first emerging, and I believe it gave birth when WIley released Eskimo, which was the year after So SOlid released two of some of the biggest garage game changer tracks, and the same year Pulse X dropped, the same year More Fire Crew released Oi, same year Pay As You Go released Champagne Dance, same year Sticky made Golly gosh...the year before Dizzee OFFICIALLY released I luv U but was the same year DIzzee released it on white label vinyl....man I get so gassed just remembering. Always have been and always will be a garage and grime geek...
Pulse x was wild, sound track to my early teens still slaps
Mj cole my idol. Every garage and jungle tune I ever produced came through listening to this man's works. Absolute legend. I salute you sir
just been able to put a face to the name. what a humble and down to earth guy. lotta respect
I was born in 96 in Detroit and I remember very vaguely garage music from back then. Just rediscovered it this past year and that sound sounds so familiar. I don't know where I've heard this music before
Yes yes bruva!!
MJ Cole! What a legend. Created some amazing tracks that are just as good now as they were back then!
He was behind the making of many big names and he engineered so many producers tracks.
Never comment on videos but what a legend and down to earth bloke MJ Cole is!
He's an intelligent mind which makes sense how his music has stood the test of time!!
Of all the docs I've seen, this one most closely reflects my lived experience of it ❤
Big Love to UK-Music from Germany!
Cant wait for Garage to come back in full force! One of my favourite genres from my childhood
MJ Cole is one of the three biggest influences on my music ever. Love to see him laying it out like this. Garage for life!
Well said!!
MJ Cole absolute beast, hands down fave producer!
Yeah him Tuff Jam, Booker T, Jeremy Sylvester and Grant Nelson paved the way.
Musical pioneer turned visionary
This is the shit Burial would check out definitely since he talked about missing out the garage/ rave scene as youngling
Garage always wicked
I never thumbed up so many comments under a youtube video, discovered this channel a couple of days ago and every video here is better than the last.
Still to this day my favourite genre
Complete legendary producer, great to be able to watch him spill his thoughts
A real inspiration for me. I used to go to garage nights every weekend from 98-00. His records were always up there. A real down to earth guy too.
The perfect loop 🔂 of pirate radio to keep you going until the weekend, playing the tunes that I would then buy in Swag or Big Apple records. Before that I used to go all over London to buy tunes, Blackmarket records, remix records. At the time the best record shop by far was Wax City Croydon. Jon and Kev were killing it, what an awesome vibe.
To then playing those tunes at small venues or local parties. Dressing up in your latest Moshino, Stone Island or Versace garms.
The music was really part of my life and it helped me get through life. It was a happy energy that brought unity, there’s another one, how can I forget unity records.
Everyone loved the underground music scene, it brought people together.
Now, all the kids have got is drill music with these thugs promoting death, misogyny and drugs. I feel really sorry for them. At least I had a direction and it was vibing.
I fuking hated it when So Solid came along and started polluting garage with their gangster bs.
The scene has never recovered, it’s truly been squashed. When all that shite started happening in Ayia Napa, the government basically shut it down.
Everyone lost a lot of money, including the government. The amount of tax they would have made through records, Dj equipment and the clubs.
Thank God I got to live in an era where you could choose to listen to music that actually made you want to dance.
I've been living in Australia since 2013. We had a pool party one xmas day. I jumped on the decks and was playing house and garage. One of the german girls said she didnt like what I was playing because it was too bumpy (it was a garage track) and she asked for melodic techno lol
The audacity lol
Arguably the best garage producer....massive influence to the UK Scene. Good Times 😉
MJ Cole! the legend himself! Timeless classics - Garage for life crew!
Living legend
So glad I watched this. Such a dude! Has inspired me to start producing again
I love this . Garage, Jungle, Drum n Bass always the underdog in the "EDM" world .
Great sense of humour. That sarcastic comment about that venue being converted into shops lol
always loved mj's music. refreshing to find him being such an honest, real bloke, too.
Absolutely legend
It’s unreal how instantly excited i get the minute i hear the first hit of crazy love.
*casually* yeah i just created Sincere on that sampler in my bedroom
absolute legend
A lot of non-mainstream small festivals where there’s no attitude and people are just there for a good time are starting to put more garage into there house sets and mixing it up. The reaction from the crowd when a garage tune comes on says all. It’s slowly coming back, just hope it doesn’t go mainstream this time round.
Theres a sub genre of house wich is very garagey the record label PIV is the forefront of this
Imo
so humble
6:20 that tune was the one. Loved those old skool garage tunes
whats this track called? trying to find it
Classic!

Great remix from Tim De Luxe but it's not the original. Tim and Omar did the original as Double 99
I love garage and there’s so many great tunes but MJ Cole was on some next level business.
Respect for the love for music. Learned a bit even though I generally dislike dub step, uk garage and speed garage. Collecting the best of the genre and try to appreciate it by getting into the feel of it is my quest. Thanks
never knew it at the time..maybe because I was maybe a bit of a dick...(and busy being great at it actually)....and Mjcole was a massive part of the UK dance scene. where ever you went. under or over ground, bangers and good time beats all the way. Hero
As a silly American I must admit, I really did UK Garage. I love the skip.
I feel like as the years go on and pass music will go back to its roots the way it was. House, Dubstep, DnB, Garage, and grind along with many other genres will come back in a more modern fashion but still keep the groove and amazing hits it had back in the 90’s and early 2000’s. Garage, DnB and House I feel like is the future of Electronic music. DnB was ahead of its time with bringing a whole new entire way of listening and making music. Electronic music will continue to progress as decades past but it’s the way the artists make em is what will continue to pioneer the new era of music. Big room and Bass drops are not the way to go.
dubstep doesnt belong there. shittest genre.
@@JL-nk1pc you must be thinking of brostep my bro
@@essejbooth2982 no dubstep.
@@JL-nk1pc its so lax though
legend
when you said SSL engineering, I died, I'm in that phase right now (just with a big six, not a full desk). love the sound.
MJ Cole introduced me to Uk garage . I remember listening to his remix of Another Level’s ‘ Guess I was a fool’ on the office radio. I was hooked from then on. Sincere was a big big album .Nuff respect Mr Cole.
This is great
amazing doc
I love how he uses the exact words that all of us who know nothing about deejaying would use
That was great
Thank you
Good video, very inspirational . Keep up the productions and moving the genre forward
Great interview.
fantastic interview!
great guy
he kinda reminds me of jeremy from peep show. sick guy tho
Unfortunately, what happened to UK Garage happens to all dance music genres, the underground stuff just gets pushed aside by new kids entering the scene wanting "sick drops", rapping and air raid sirens.
Sir, MJ！is the best & only.
Garage is LONDON!
just one question. Where is todd edwards in this video? he basically helped in garage's raice to fame.
Legend! Loving the new stuff!
Amazing retro respective Matt, where's Norty, we got beats!
Good question!! Nortee was a don!!
RIP Stevie Hyper D!
MJ IS GOD LEVEL
For real!!
Interesting
Yeah i remember that time in 2003, suddenly dropped off..
1:14 … old skool g right there…
"leather pants, a fruit bowl" lol
What's the difference between Speed Garage, 2-Step, UK Garage..perspectives from both UK and USA, please...Fight!
Ibiza 1997 Kiss FM Closing Parties - destroyed by UKG - always love MJC though;)
That's what is missing from today's music, it lost the bounce. That is what calls me to Old Skool.
Interesting what he said about how fast moving the whole thing was.. the same kind of applied for all UK Bass music be it hardcore, jungle, garage or later on grime and dubstep.. the only genre that seems to have "survived" in earnest is drum n bass. It all kind of fast forwarded itself to death very quickly and the death knell most of the time was the same thing - speed it up, get it darker then add the MC's. And then the gangsters came in and the girls all left... Bit sad really as the music really was futuristic and unique and could have had a much longer run.
I like thus assessment
Dubstep is definitely a pillar now. With Griz, Subtronics, Zeds Dead, and more leading this new wave.
check out Peaky Beats from Leeds. seriously good stuff. does a bit of 2step and dubstep respectively, with heaps of influence bouncing between the two
Thank fuck for Point Blank
It's Linford.bless.
"you gotta stop playing that womp womp stuff cuz the ladies are leaving the club"
CHEEKY
Yeah, dubstep is going to 100% return
MJ Cole was one of the producers with a definitive sound. It's difficult to say anyone was the "king of ukg" it's shared between legends like him, tuff Jam, Jeremy sylvester, Mike millrain, anthill mob, ice cream records, industry standard etc. Together one ukg family pushed the scene. And then so solid etc ruined it :(
Song at 3:00
remember when we danced hands in the air for days and nights without getting skankt an robbed....at all.,...happE dayz eh

This guy likes a bit of speed
can anyone id the tune at 1 min? thanks:)
Quality - Kym Mazelle. Ramsey + Fen remix. MJ Cole on the buttons!
Didn’t know mj bit of a nitty
94-2000.
After that garage died.
They are still playing the same tunes now as they did 24 yrs ago.
No progression what so ever
But Ramsey and fen made dubplates with Wiley but didn't like mc's hmmmmmm
Sad to say but da click - good rhymes which was an awesome track all good guys involved was the start of the end of garage.... you can’t beat a garage version of rappers delight.... simple... garage ended trying to be more Compton than hiphop as that’s easier and a lot lazier to make.... garage died in 1999 and after it’s just been a reminiscence or a poor imitation
Has he got a glass eye?
