The Sunday Scene. Or shall
we call it "Speed Garage"?
It's been impossible to avoid the media circus surrounding
the newest sound from UK underground. New phrases such
as "Sunday scene" or "Speed garage"
were been springing up weekly during the year of 1997
as onlookers attempted to describe this new sound coming
of England. It's a scene which has many aspects, owes
some of its creation to the deep reggae style basslines
of RIP(UK) and Armand Van Helden (USA).
|
It also owes some allegiance
to the full vocal crossover sound
of Rosie Gaines, Bobby D'Ambrosio and Tina Moore
(USA Vocalists!!);and more recently towards the end of
this year (1997) the inclusion of Hiphop break beats within
the music. (Check out DJs such as The Pied Piper,
Charlie Brown, Jason Kaye, Spoony and the many more!!(London)
The English media
may have thought that they had suddenly discovered something
which has been developing for a good year and a half already.
No-one can deny that it has been very good for this scene
in someway.Even if you're not a Garage-head, the scene's
new influences will in no doubt have still crept into
your DJ record box.

Armand van Helden
style of deep basslines and time stretched vocals with
his remixes of Tori Amos, Todd Terry and Sneaker
Pimps has placed him into the remix superstar
bracket already. He has already been quoted in saying
that he is now charging a cool £35,000 pounds
(English pounds) per remix.
|
| This new phenomenon within
Garage is crossing over big time, and many people see it
as the kick up the arse everybody was waiting for! Views
on exactly what to call the scene and on the diversity of
its sub-genres depend entirely on who you speak to. |
