The link between speed garage and bassline is interesting and reminds me a bit of Northern Soul - Northerners keeping faith with the uptempo bits of the original sound, but extenuating and exaggerating it. Although, of course, the NS djs did this with old records, while the bassline crowd created their own new sound (while the Southerners did their own thing with rare groove and garage rap/grime).
.
This is a great mix for those wanting to fill in the gaps in the, largely forgotten and undocumented, northern nuum history from speed garage to jackin. You probably won't recognise hardly any of the names and tunes here, I know i didn't.
