UK Garage evolved out of many influences, but its name comes from the vocal-heavy, syncopated, sultry house music popular in NY and NJ in the late 80s to 90s at clubs like Zanzibar. The Sunday Scene in London in the early 90s was created by DJ's who favored sped up garage dubs (more instrumental-focused, heavier mixes) and began producing their own garage tracks. The UK-produced tracks incorporated a range of sounds and motifs that had evolved over years of the UK music scene where diasporic communities particularly Windrush Generation carribean immigrants and their imported soundsytem culture had been developing for decades. Heavier basslines, junglist breaks, M1 organs galore...this new sound has been through several evolutions since - birthing dubstep, bassline, and UK Funky to name a few.

This mix explores the transition from late 80's-early 90's American garage into the heavier UK sound of the early to mid 90's. The changes are subtle but significant - I hope you enjoy <3
