In my previous DC post I promised to present some actual speed garage tunes. This genre was “the next big thing” in the UK after the big beat hype during the late 90′s. Regular elements in speed garage tracks included sped-up garage house rhythms, female vocals/male MC and heavy basslines. The success of this style [...]

Jocelyn Brown maybe needs no introduction, but take this as a salute to maybe the best female dance music singer. Her career is truly a link between disco, post-disco era and the development of house music to this day.

In the days of way back your De La Souls and Tribe Called Quests were all about easygoing flows and bumping, soulful beats. On the other hand your N.W.A.’s or Ice-T’s were simply [...]

“Speed Garage” was a very popular genre in the UK around 1996-1998 with artists and groups like Tuff Jam, 187 Lockdown, Serious Danger and occasionally even Armand Van Helden putting out top productions and remixes. The tracks usually had sped-up garage rhythms spiced up with samples and loops from drum’n’bass. One trademark was also a [...]

British new wave had more disco and pop feel in it in early 80′s. The band ABC is one significant part of the new romantics movement. One term used is “new pop”, which is kinda stupid name for a music style. ABC’s Lexicon Of Love is an album that can be easily found on every [...]
