“In my opinion, UKG has made a recent comeback in the clubs and on radio because it’s been away just long enough for it to come back fresh. Next year we’ll see a lot more. A lot of teens these days were small children when the first wave of UKG happened. But now it’s brand new to them, even all the old classics. Producers are returning to the 2-step sound for a number of reasons: this music has been made cool again because of its history as a precursor to dubstep, so more producers have listened to old El-B and Wookie productions and have been inspired to make their own brand.

I think as long as what we’re hearing is quality then there shouldn’t be a problem with this revival. The problems come when pop producers start producing cheese with a 2-step beat. Then it all goes a bit wrong. Back in the mid-2000s money and greed ruined it.

Back then the serious names were Steve Gurley, Tuff Jam, Groove Chronicles, MJ Cole, Wookie and Oris Jay. These guys were innovators. They would always try to push it forwards. Push the boundaries percussively, but still remain 100% musical. Now the names to watch out for are Terror Danjah, Mosca, Boddika, Joy Orbison, Pearson Sound, Mike Delinquent and DVA. They all have production levels that are much higher than back in the day. Tracks are getting louder and brighter sounding.

What I love about this music is that new styles are always around the corner. Obviously we have retro comebacks and that’s cool, but I’m on about the truly new sounds that appear out of nowhere. James Blake and Skrillex both came out of the dubstep scene to create completely unique and totally different sounds. A few years ago you wouldn’t have seen that coming. The new technology allows us to push the envelope further and further - so the possibilities are now endless.”

Yes...

And I don't see how Terror Danjah, Mosca, Boddika, Joy Orbison, Pearson Sound, Mike Delinquent and DVA are garage.

Even if we dont like him, you have to say he is the main guy behind that filth sound now. All he said was Skrillex and James Blake are classed as Dubstep but have a totally different sound.

I spose he means a new slightly garagey sound? None of them have done full out 2-step tracks though haha

WHy? Because the newer, fresher form of Garage is basically defined with this tune:



This tune right here is what will definitely bring people into Garage.We no longer hear chipmunk voices and RnB hooks, but instead we get sub-bass and amazing synthlines. And the fact that it's a remix of an Above & Beyond tune by MJ Cole proved that people are opening up to Garage music. When even someone like A&B are approaching Garage producers for remixes, then it's saying something about the Garage revival scene. Producers like Submerse, Resketch, Boddika, Swamp, Whistla, L-Vis 1990 helped thrive this "Future Garage" sound that will definitely bring in people to the sound, and such a scene has also given us the glorious returns of MJ Cole and Zed Bias, so maybe we might see the return of Club Asylum and the Artful Dodger, hopefully.

And we'll definitely see more of this. Zed Bias is definitely right. And it feels good man.
