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.

“Disrupta lands at Clock Factory Bristol on Friday 27th March for an unmissable night of Drum & Bass. Undoubtedly one of the scene’s most exciting figures, Disrupta has gone from strength to strength since launching his artist project in 2018. With chart-topping releases across a range of notable labels, he’s built a signature sound that blends soulful grooves, garage-inspired rhythms, and heavyweight dancefloor energy.”

“Skeptic is a rising UK garage and speed-garage producer from Southampton whose sharp, high-energy sound has quickly cut through the underground. His releases and unreleased edits have earned support from names like Joy Orbison, Ben UFO and Interplanetary Criminal, and he’s become a familiar presence across Rinse FM, Balamii and Boiler Room sets. With a style that fuses classic garage, tight 2-step rhythms and modern speed-garage drive, Skeptic continues to push his sound forward with every mix and production.”
