List of UK garage artists. This is a list of notable artists who have worked in the UK garage genre and subgenres, except dubstep and grime as they have their own lists.
- 24 Hour Experience, ‘Together’ When? 1994. Who? Originally consisting of Grant Nelson and Simon Firmin, garage and house collective 24 Hour Experience’s name is something of a contradiction – they had an enduring influence on the development of UK dance music in the ’90s.
- Indo, ‘R U Sleeping’ (Bump N’ Flex Remix) When? 1998. Who? Originally an early ’90s dance classic from Hula, K. Fingers and Silk E, ‘R U Sleeping’ was given the garage treatment by English DJ Grant Nelson under one of his countless pseudonyms, Bump N’ Flex.
- Colours, ‘Hold On’ (SE22 Mix) When? 1998. Advertisement. Who? Ice Cream Records’ Stephen Emmanuel formed the ‘Colours’ outfit for the release of his ‘Hold On’ EP, enlisting the aid of dance vocalist June Hamm for the unleashing of this filthy early garage anthem.

The apotheosis of UK garage as pop, Sweet Like Chocolate was a platinum-selling No 1 in 1999. A noticeably more toothsome and commercial take on garage than its predecessor – Straight from the Heart, recorded when Shanks & Bigfoot were still called Doolally – it was apparently beloved of Britney Spears.
Over time, UK garage would mutate into dubstep and grime, and grime would ultimately lead to UK rap becoming a major commercial force. You could view Booo! as something of a glimpse into the future: certainly, the combination of sparse garage backing and Ms Dynamite’s dancehall-influenced raphasn’t dated 18 years on. You can imagine it in the chart...
Wiley has claimed that So Solid Crew’s debut single“started grime”. He has a point – it certainly helped usher in a new era of UK rap – although it might be more accurate to say that it is poised between the sound of UK garage and a future in which the MC, rather than the producer, would be the star.
Neighbourhood underlined the shared heritage of UK garage and drum’n’bass in reggae soundsystem culture thanks to MC Rumpus’s dancehall vocal. Nicky Prince’s chorus is pure house anthem; the menacing two-note bassline at odds with the track’s carefree breeziness.
Of all the US producers who inspired UK garage, none was revered like Todd Edwards: his technique of cutting up vocals into what writer Simon Reynolds called “blissful hiccups” – as heard on this dub of a track by French producer Ludovic Navarre – meant his tracks could be sped up to 130bpm without sounding cartoonish.
UK garage was a remarkably omnivorous genre, drawing in everything from R&B to the German breakbeat trance of Azzido da Bass’s Dooms Night. On the extraordinary Stone Cold, languid, sensual jazz enters the mix, alongside samples of Aaliyah and a monumental bassline derived from Kevin Saunderson’s Detroit techno project Reese.
At the other extreme from UK garage’s commercial hits were tracks that pushed the genre forward artistically: here, producer Grant Nelson strips virtually everything away from a house version of Stevie Wonder’s old hit, leaving only snatches of vocals and a stammering beat rooted in dancehall, to startling effect.
Production duo Dem 2 were early stars of two-step UK garage, issuing a plethora of tracks and remixes in the late 90s. Destiny might be their greatest moment: a patchwork of cut-up vocals and staccato instrumentation weaving effortlessly around the beat.
An underrated underground producer, Sky Joose had been making music in the hardcore era. His switch to garage began with Endorphins, a track that perfectly demonstrates how quickly UK producers transcended their US influences to create something entirely their own: a sparse, strange, compelling and faintly discordant collage of samples.
An early sign of UK garage’s chart appeal, this track by a minor US R&B singer was transformed into a club smash and a mainstream hit by the application of a monster bassline and the kind of skipping beat that would come to be known as two-step. This B-side remix – by Kelly G, an acolyte of Chicago house legend Steve “Silk” Hurley – became an A-sid...
