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.
