Bump & Flex – Promises

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

One to remember!

A great vocal bumpy track summarising the UK Garage sound from around the peak of the scene. Perhaps not ever reaching the heights and popularity this track deserved it epitomized the sound that the girls loved and that really blew the scene. That is the Vocal Mix I’m talking about but this one came in a double pack packing also the noteworthy Hardstep Dub (reminiscent of a certain “All I Do” remix) as well as a whole load more..

We salute you Grant Nelson and your Bump & Flex pseudo for your whole catalog of UKG smashers.

Truly one of the standout UKG producers at the top of their game!

Thank you!

 

Dee Patten – Who’s The Bad Man?

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

A classic track from around the 98 ire this one blew up in the “Speed Garage” scene although taking allot of influence out of the break beat generation combining that with a spine chilling bassline dub.

Floor filling alongside the Speed Garage ‘wharpers’ of the day this one went as far as to make it on to numerous UKG CD releases as well as occasionally still blending in perfectly to any set today. It’s interesting combination of it’s breaks & speed garage influences makes it ideal for fitting into today’s contemporary set’s where Dj’s blend multi genres into one.

For those who don’t know take a listen to this…
