Speed garage

And at the time I was starting to DJ and I was like, here's what we're going to do.

Make this song into like Speed Garage, right? Make this beautiful ballad, this Hebrew ballad into Speed Garage.

That's all I want.

And I'm going to make a video and I'm going to take my DJ booth and I'm going to put it in Tower Bridge or London Bridge.

We started to go into, I don't remember that time period.

It started to go into Speed Garage.

Yeah, I remember it.

I remember it being represented in London in both rooms.

They had the Speed Garage, say, in one room and Hard House in another room.

I remember that period.

And there was a

yeah.

And I loved it all.

And so from, I think from about 93, 4, 5... by about 96 it's starting to lose interest because it's all converging towards a certain kind of tech step and the music is getting more and more technical which in theory I liked but in practice it wasn't so enjoyable and by that time Speed Garage is coming and Speed Garage creates a new split because it's got this kind of champagne aristocracy feel which i wasn't especially enamored by but it sounded amazing and then even better than speed garage is like two-step two-step was like this incredible it was like this new teenage music which takes all the sounds from you know timberland rodney jerkins um all these different R&B producers but just does it better and with a London feel like with groups like names like Artful Dodgers that's a very London that's a very British thing Artful Dodgers or Dem 2 these very kind of kind of ragamuffin kind of street names so yeah by 96 yeah by 96 it's much more about R&B so I kind of burnt out on on drum and bass by 96 because I'd listened so much between 92, 3, 4 and 5, four years but it was amazing because the entire orientation then moves to Britain And, you know, it's been so long looking up to the US and hip-hop.

I bought so much hip-hop, so much American music.

It was just amazing to, in a way, be enchanted by Britain, by obscure bits of Britain.

We've had the sounds of LS2 and something's going on.

The original Speed Garage mix.

Anybody got a brand new from Michael Cho once again? Keep pushing the original mix.

That's what I've got to say about that, man.

I mean, I think the last year or two, especially a lot of younger people, a lot of younger producers in electronic music, there's a 90s vibe certainly happening.

It's kind of almost like a return to those heavy Speed Garage vibes.

which i actually love and so you know every time i think oh you know music's changing that kind of recycles again which i you know i think right now musically like if you turn on the radio or hear some of the producers out there the younger guys and girls um i i can't tell the difference anymore between the mid 90s and you know 2026.

there is a lot of garage stuff that harkens back to that and break stuff as well but you know to the 90s and the 2000 stuff and i think that um There's a reason for that.

That's why it was called Garage.

It was also called Speed Garage because it sped up regular house music.

Why

have four beats when you can have two?

Yeah.

And like, you know, like, I went in your room and you was listening to Speed Garage.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Speed Garage.

Who would lend us dance-

That's a, that's a West London thing, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
