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.

What our editors say

“The style of music they do is a mixture of garage, jungle and drum n bass blended live vocals and live punk rock metal guitar riffs creating a fusion similar to that of the prodigy or pendulum but with its own distinctive taste.”

““Benny Ill used to come in the shop. Back in the early garage days he was trying to make garage but he was putting the snare on the wrong beat, on the three beat. It made it more like … he loves dub reggae… he was making dub reggae garage. We were like ‘this is weird’ but Hatcha loved it but Hatcha called it dubstep. It was Benny Ill that started it, without a doubt.””
