-- Mag's Speed Garage / UK Garage Mix (1996-1998) *first of a kind on this forum*

In late 1990s, this was probably the most influential genre for me. Speed Garage was all over the late-night clubnight radio, but it was all over by 1999. The sound was originally introduced and first developed by the liked of Armand Van Helden and Grant Nelson (Nice 'n Ripe label).

Here are my favourites of that era, for your listening pleasure. This is probably the first mix of its kind for this forum! Check out this unique sound ... The last track in this mix is my special fused mix of the famous remix + original version ENJOY!!!!!!!!!

All comments and suggestions are always read and are appreciated.

BPM - 90 (first track) to 132 (last track), 192 kbps, high quality continuous mix (probably my best mixing so far). About 71-72 minutes length.

Heheh, that looks like a cheesy CD with a few good fillers. Love the 90s though!!! Yeah, the sound was massive in UK. I got hooked on the genre from Armand's remixes mostly

I didnt think my mixing was that bad here ... some of the tracks were quite different, hence the transityions weren't always sound-to-sound.

Yeah, I bet you did listen to that stuff in the 90s!!! In Toronto area, Energy 108 pumped lots of those tunes during their legendary live-to-air ... oh I miss those

Love it! I used to DJ Garage (albeit before it became speed garage) back in the UK.

Can't listen right now but I have to say that tracklist is far more house (or should I say funky house) than garage.

The only tracks I'd consider Garage are 4,5,6, and 11. The rest were all funky house. Camisra, Todd Terry and Sandy B are all certainly house trax.

Speed Garage to me was tracks like Judy Cheeks - reach and spin, Never Let you go, What you want etc.

I'd say this is more a house n' garage set (as they used to say)

Thanks for ruining it! Well, they are considered to be garage ... whether UK or Speed Garage. If you listened to the tracks, they all share that same special garage sound, that sexy bassline - I think you know what I am talking about. I love that sound. Some are more housey than others though - you're right.

Keep it oldskool!!!

Much more of a fan of 2-step garage than the 4x4 speed garage but will check. It's nice to see people actually remember and are interested in this stuff on the forum. Like others said, even if some of it is more house than garage. Still... Make The World Go Around, Sugar Is Sweeter, Fly Life, and Spin Spin Sugar were MASSIVE when I was first getting into EDM.

Needs some more stuff like this:

quite nice, it starts off with some right stuff and since this is sort of a classics mix i'm not going to nitpick over the fact that i've heard all the tunes after the sandy b like one to many times.
the mixing is decent, some of the transitions sort of feel unfinished and they kill alot of vibe building up, like the one from sandy b into sugar is sweeter. even though i go the notion you were winding down a little bit it just went dead sort of

edit, you should have also taken advantage that some of the tracks sample each other. ripgroove uses the drums from sugar is sweeter and camisra samples sandy b.
