Some of you might remember me from my oldskool hardcore, jungle and dnb thread from ages ago.
I decided to branch into something totally different for a new challenge (still playing the other stuff of course!)

I'm not really sure the term garage is the right term and would probably put some people off if they imagine the modern garage/grime nonsense.
Any way, I downloaded a handful of tunes last night and had a mix, I thoroughly enjoyed it too! smile

You can listen to it and download it here

Firstly it's good hear some proper garage.

The mix reminds of criss crossing London in mini cabs in early 90's shuttling between Ministry, The Leisure Lounge, Paradise, Bagleys and so on with Girls FM on in the background.

Happy days.

I like the soulful, melodic element to it. Slightly faster than the tunes/mixes I listen to these days (I am getting old) but very much the same DNA.

On a related topic it's great to hear young producers recording house music again - I'm currently addicted to Sub Soul Vol2.

And the great thing is that likes of Todd Terge, Disclosure, the stuff being put out on Sub Soul and the old 90's tunes I rediscovered for my 50th last year mean that my 11 year old son is now into house music too.
