uk garage is rotten. sorry, just no my thang at all.
i'll admit to loving bob sinclar - feel for you back in the day,my tastes switched between the french filterred dico house like modjo and daft punk, to sweatypit arms in the air trance anthems. ashamedly.
id never really though of dance music as being a genre i listened to before I discovered clubbing in 1999. looking back there were artists/producers from earlier years id picked up on but i was too young to appreciate any kind of house movement as a kid. was just articles in Q and Select and people with big smiley t-shirts on.
i remember thinking nightclubs must be like the hitman and her, my folks used to let me stay up till 2am to watch it

I wouldn't call that "proper" garage though. It wasn't even called garage back then, it was "house and garage" wasn't it? I remember when it came out in about 94/95 and there were a lot of British tunes/dj's about then aswell.

what dan said basically.
proper garage as in where the term garage music was coined; that is, the paradise garage in NYC - US house music, soulful, deep, MAW style, vocals.
UK garage as in what was made commercially successful by the likes of the dreem team and people like that. sometimes called 2 step.

House is what came out of Chicago, garage came out of NYC. There was a difference in the sounds... and it was all much earlier than 94/95!
I'm just going to stop posting in this one now because I can't vouch for anything pre early 90's
To me though, early UK garage is as much "proper" garage as the US stuff. And I'm talking about a long time before Dreem Team were ever on the scene!
yeah its pigeonholing but early UK garage was jsut prob garage then, of the US variety. saying you like garage now is like as ambiguous as reading hard house and trance as the same thing.
unless the other person knows what you're talking about, its normally referred to as Uk garage/2 step or alternatively US garage.

If you really want to get pedantic Garage Music didnt come form the Paradise Garage, its what Tony humphries used to play at Zanzibars in New Jersey
A Journalist mixed up the 2. What Larry Levan played at the Paradise Garage was to eclectic to be considered US Garage
i'm always keen to get pedantic!
that rings a bell actually, is it in "pump up the volume", years since i read that.

The B-side is one of the greatest tunes ever made (IMO)
