Are pure Garage sounds still being made?

[Tim F]

2-step is back sorta, a lot of it as an outgrowth of the bassline scene - e.g. DJ Q plays a lot of this stuff.

What interests me is that (Dem 2 aside) the sound that has been revived is garage at its most artificial and sugary and 2000-pop-crossover primed, the foundational text seems to be the Sunship remix of "Flowers". And indeed Sunship's been smashing it with some very similar remixes of stuff like Alex Gaudino's "What A Feeling". But yeah, it's all muscular beats and "Show Me Love" basslines, plasticky and sparkly. The very opposite of "future garage".

cribbed from an ilx thread (Tim why you no share the goodness over here more often?)


Makes all that Whistla-curated stuff sound so dull. Will be checking some DJ Q sets out next I think.

One of many cheese-tastic tunes on that mix.

some exotic users on this thread, viktorvaugn, sectionfive, paul hotflush.

 

[Leo]

first two were good contributors, Paul went off in a huff after his music became (more) shit.

 

[catalog]

Was gonna say, there was a label called hot flush wasn't there.

that was him he said we were all cunts except for craner. he adored craner.

 

[catalog]

He won't like what versions done to craner

 

[luka]

he'll be fuming

 

[Leo]

yeah, that was him, scuba. he transitioned from putting out dubstep records to shitty tech house (or something) and got all pissy when people said it sucked.

 

[luka]

but also like joe muggs he had far right political views. very pro america and so on

 

[muser]

It really did suck to be fair

[catalog]

Vaguely remember that name. I thought a few days ago that maybe dubstep might have a revival soon like jungle did a few years ago, but I'm not sure it will really.

 

[catalog]

Oh dear.

 

[muser]

It's funny how 90% of the producers / label owners / djs on this forum slowly got lost to the sands of time

 

[shiels]

He’s right!

He got some flack a while back for doing a concept album about eugenics or something.
