The UK Garage Story: 1. Bad boy Tunes!

The UK Garage 30th birthday celebrations starts with a bang(er). Jamz Supernova and DJ Spoony rewind through the genre’s hits and the party-starting classics. From Ms Dynamite's speaker-breaking ‘Boo’ to the delightful sounds of Shanks and Bigfoot’s ‘Sweet Like Chocolate’, this nostalgic ride through the 90s and 00s takes you through the soulful, gritty and pop-infused blend of genre-defying songs that rose to #1 success. In this episode, we hear from Reggie Yates, Matt ‘Jam’ Lamont, Fekky, Ms Dynamite, Grant Nelson, DJ Pied Piper, So Solid Crew’s Neutrino and MC Creed.
