New UKG: UK Garage & 2 Step Flavours

W

Wildstyle K

Since no one else is doing or has done it, I might as well introduce and present it here.
Besides, I've been asked politely by U.K. producers to present some of their sounds / productions in the U.S. for consideration, or to at least be heard.

This is all NEW & modern uk 2 step. http://soundcloud.com/clubkdm8/midi-midtown-meltdown-mix-10

I believe SOME of this sound could work in U.S. radio mixshow specialty programming - at the least. I'm also sure that Craig David, Daniel Beddingfield, and the remix of "you got it bad" by Usher surely aren't the only ones in the world who could make it here.
 
UK Garage peaked in popularity about a decade ago, at least in the UK itself. It was also by and large successful in the southern parts of England, and a lot less in demand in the rest of the country.
 
Craig David and Artful dodger have had few Garage and 2-step hits here in the US before, it has had some minor success. The Van Helden remix of Insomnia can somewhat be considered UK Garage, and that was huge in the clubs and on dance radio.
 
Daniel Beddingfielod-Gotta get through this was a UK garage song, and it made the top 5 on the pop charts in the u.s
 
Oh yeah, complete forgot about that track!

That song was considered UK Garage? But it didn't have a Jamaican sounding guy say "Come down selectaaa" ;D
 
Track listing for mix:

Laydeez (UKG Mix) - The Artful Dodger
U could be - Scott Garcia feat Jay Harvey
I want it all (2 Steppa Mix) - Trak D
Something on my mind (Control-S remix) - GTE featuring Kelsey
Replay (Atomic's 2 Step Vocal Mix) - Iyaz
Love of my life (Wideboys Remix) - Dawood & Knight feat Jodie Connor
Crazy (Control-S remix) - Audioplayerz ft Sarah Brown
The Island (Atomic's 2 Step Mix) - Pendulum
Ride Round Town (Rubix Qube 2-Step Remix) - Trilogy

There are about 4 to 5 songs in there I believe would at least be acceptable if used within a chr dance mix show, and a few that may even be acceptable to the top 40 & rhythmic crowd during a mix.
 
Re: This is what I like

This is what I like!

Spreading the knowledge... and introducing new potential fans to a "new" sound.
Notice how when I started this topic on the U.K. music board and conveniently slipped in some "audio examples", I helped at least one person that I know of, who would've otherwise probably never known about it, to discover a "new sound".

My only challenge now is tackling the question at hand; "where do you get your mp3's?" That's a loaded question. I'm sure he doesn't want to know where I get my mp3's just to have that extra knowledge exist in his head, or just to make that mp3 shop his favorite online shop and buy EVERYTHING from it for now on - regardless of what it is. He's really looking for me to direct him to finding a certain sound. That, in addition to the fact that there is no one specific place for it, will make it a challenge for me to direct him to the sound he is searching for, but I'll answer his question as soon as I figure out how to do it in such a way that it benefits his wishes (rather than just saying something dumb like "itunes, Amazon"....etc.).

Back to names again, this is one where I can make almost any phrase/name you want work for this style of music EXCEPT GARAGE.

Unless it is some how being specifically being prounounced as in the extreme British pronunciation "Gerr'- ajhe"

"Garage rock", coined back in the 1960s, sounds like like snarling punk teenagers playing rock-n-roll from the mid 1960's,
with a crude, powerful sound. It did not survive past 1968 0r 1969, until revival groups began revisiting this sound in the late 70's.

This is dance music for sure, but I if this is "garage", then it might well be called "country and western", too.

Or coin a new name that doesn't interfere with existing names.

Another great phrase is "indie music". I knew more than a few people from the indie music scene, but in the long run, a lot of them went to
other cities to live, like Seattle amd Chicago, where the music scene was bigger, if not better.

Then along comes some using the term "indy music", which was pretty specific, and I wonder how any of these Indianapolils artists
hae gotten successful enough that now there's supposed to be some kind "Indianapolis sound"?

:D

I'm intentionally pulling a mental "Emily Litella" to show how it's wise to avoid using "already used" terms.
