An Education In Garage

For this mix, I went for something a little different. I wanted to include tracks that really wouldn't have featured on a commercial cd (although nowadays there are probably only about 50 tracks that would possibly be included anyway, and half of those are songs like 'Sambucca' or riddums like 'Go DJ' which really were part of the reason why Garage just vanished - despite being widely popular, they had little production values and are indicative of the cheap pap flooding the market trying to cash in on the popularity of the sound of the underground). So for the most part, these are songs that are deserving of a wider audience but are outside the limited pool that anyone compiling a CD thinks we need to hear for the 18th time. Think of this as a fresh compilation to take you back in time to when Garage still ruled the waves (unless you are from Essex like me. Garage is timeless there).
