Bristol's Garage Scene

Garage music is experiencing a renaissance period in Bristol right now. The popularity of dubstep has given rise to a new breed of garage enthusiast keen to explore both the genre's roots and its modern incarnations.

UK funky has taken the mantle of garage and added grime elements and vocals to bring the sound up date and into today's electro-centric party landscape. Contemporary garage and UK funky often finds it's way into sets from alternative dubstep djs at Bristol dubstep nights like Apple Pips, Donuts and Crazy Legs.

Our recent garage recommendations

Sell out warning! Guts absolutely wiped the floor at Jam On The Horizon - we wouldn’t miss another education from the boom-bap troubadour! Not with Canton Mambo queen Gia Fu setting the ‘floor alight with Afro-Cuban discs and hip-swirling spins in this massive Sinai-powered session, bolstered by Pangaea hero Kesh + Popola bringing the finest in ass-shaking reggaeton, soca and afrobeats. POW! Sinai Sound ft Guts / Kesh + Popola at The Boxing Gym.

Stroom's low-lit rockstar work his magic down at the Inn; he’s blessed us with some seriously memorable dances over the years, and we’re expecting another one here. Oddball dance revivals, wonky chug, sleazy new beat and trance-induced slo-mo melters incoming. Nosedrip at The Love Inn.

For the initiated, only Willikens will do. The Salon GOAT gets real deep with a rare-opening set, stretching minimal synth slayers and acidic chug to psychedelic breaking point before Saskia fires up the subwise hardware explorations and Anina & Lynne absoultely wipe the floor with junglist domination. Secret Shade, we salute you. The Secret Shade: Lena Willikens, Lynne b2b Anina, Saskia at Strange Brew.

Sell out warning! Absolute go-hard-or-go-home belter for Zone 1 and Bris-Tek’s big birthday bash! Storming The Boxing Gym: Barcelona tekno firecracker Amygdala, bassline boss Jenny Sparks and donk sommelier DJ Bax touching down in Bris + Grandma Wubplate’s hard-dance swag and jungle euphoria from Betsy Mae. And that’s not even half of it…. ZONE 1 x BRIS-TEK / AMYGDALA, DJ BAX, JENNY SPARKS, VANDAL at The Boxing Gym.

“Halfred (Italy) [Shanti Planti] https://soundcloud.com/halfr3d Halfred's eclectic approach to music makes it hard to categorize his sound, due to the fact that it breaks the often repetitive mold of psy-music, seamlessly taking the forms of mid-tempo, drum and bass, dubstep, psybass, garage, and world music, while staying true to his signature sound!”
