# 10 Animated Tracks Redefining UK Garage in 2020
From Y2K aesthetics to cheeky Simpsons references, these are the six lively labels setting the tone of the UKG renaissance.
Did UK Garage ever disappear? If so, it's back and brash like a reboot
of your favorite Saturday morning cartoon. More and more labels are
popping up devoted to the sound that defined UK dancefloors in the early
aughts, and while they come from the minds of grime heads and dubstep
ravers, the vibe is decidedly retro: Releases come branded with black
and white renditions of popular cartoon heroes and mascots that match
the classic and playful attitude of the tunes on record.
In the case of recently inaugurated label Timeisnow, founded by Kieran
Williams, this cheeky artwork helps to differentiate its releases from
parent house platform, [Shall Not Fade][1]{: target="_blank"
rel="noreferrer noopener"}. Being from Bristol, Williams' first
introduction to electronic music came from attending the legendary club
night Dubloaded. "At the time, it was ultimately a mixture of garage,
jungle, and other forms of bass music, all coming together and creating
this hybrid genre which we now know to be dubstep," Williams explains.
While the rise of dubstep and other genres may have stolen some of
garage's limelight, Williams wouldn't say UKG ever went away; its
elements just scattered across countless current genres.
Conversely, artists like those on Timeisnow (and other labels like
[Banoffee Pies][2]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"}, [Dr
Banana][3]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"}, and [Kiwi
Records][4]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"}) are honoring
the original UK garage vibe by sprinkling in other sounds: a little rave
here, a touch of DnB there, vocals from classic rap, R&B, and even
Y2K pop. The overall sound, though, remains that of classic, 20th
century garage, showing a comforting sense of nostalgia at work, both in
a musical and visual sense. Essentially, these tracks are a return to
the genre that influenced dubstep, funky, grime, and more, and the
result, Williams says, is a scene that is stronger than ever---and which
led to the birth of Timeisnow earlier this year.
"There are some amazing producers coming through," he raves. "It's the
most excited I've been musically for a very long time." Check out 10
recent tracks that have got us equally excited about UKG in 2020.

London fashion/music platform Dr Banana supports new UKG producers while
reissuing lost garage gems, all under a cartoon branding distinct enough
to print on a T-shirt. The A-side of their [compilation *DRB11*][1]{:
target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"} came from phone digits found
on a 20-year-old white label: Underground Soul Collective answered the
call with new track "Sybil's Groove," the vocals like manna from heaven
over slick and silky beats. Somehow, it even outshines the re-released
2000 cut.

This [*Move Tools* 12″][1]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"}
shows this Manchester producer's unexpected way with samples, mixing up
disco with acid or adding cartoon sounds over 2-step. "Maybe" stands out
the most with its chipmunk soul twist, perfectly poised yet as playful
as [Jim O'Raw's ][2]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"
data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.warmoraw.com/"}*Animaniacs*
screenprint on the label. It's also the best Brandy sample this side of
Blawan's "Getting Me Down."

There's a wealth of material to be found in Conducta's acclaimed Kiwi
mixes on his label under the same name, but there's something extra
magical about this track [from the collaborative tape *BK2SKL*][1]{:
target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"}. His and Sammy Virji's flute
hook is a total earworm, making for something as fruity and fun as
Kiwi's bold Y2K aesthetics.

No, that isn't Santa's Little Helper on the label; it's actually
Interplanetary's dog[ as drawn by James Lacey][1]{: target="_blank"
rel="noreferrer noopener"}, who brands each Timeisnow release its own
mascot of sorts.
"Supreme Level," [from the *Darkside* EP][2]{: target="_blank"
rel="noreferrer noopener"} is already full of character, though. It's
garage. It's breakbeat. It's rave. It's even rap, thanks to a well
deployed Tribe Called Quest sample.

Leicester duo Y U QT make for the sweetest song on our list with a
harp-imbued number that takes you back to the poppier, warmer side of
garage that was once all the rage. Find it [on the *Buff Traxx* EP via
London UKG label Warehouse Rave.][1]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer

We've had a Brandy sample, so how about Britney? A familiarly "toxic"
siren call adds an otherworldly element to this garage mix of [the lead
to Angel D'Lite's debut EP][1]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer
noopener"}. The rest of the euphoric *Dolphins Have Sex For
Pleasure* is atypical for label Banoffee Pies, which is adding ever more
UKG to its retro house and jungle-influenced catalogue.
If you like what you hear, then check out Angel's H&S set,[ one of
our seven favorite mixes from August.][2]{: target="_blank"

The only MC on this cut is GZA, the Wu Tang legend, cut up over some
very bouncy garage. The keys that come in are pure house, making for a
soulful time capsule of styles. You can find this [on K-Lone's *DRB08*
release for Dr Banana][1]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"};
also worth a listen is his 2018 spectral-stepper ["Furious Styles"][2]{:
target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"}from the same label.

Judging by their socials and set posters, Soul Mass Transit System are
obvious retro *Simpsons* fans. Homer himself appears on[ the cover of
their *Don't Hold Back* EP.][1]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer
noopener"}
Choosing such a 1990s icon is apt, as "Gimme Gimme" rides large on the
kind of plaintive yet defiant hook that epitomized the first Summer of
Love.

There's something special about the B-side on[ Holloway's EP *Some Bad
Days*][1]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"}, an EP that
begins with Joy Orbison-esque hybrid intensity. "Homage 2 Claro,"
meanwhile, is more subtle, tightly winding around an intricate and fluid
rework of an electro favorite by Claro Intelecto.

Dubstep pioneer El-B is by no means a new name, but [the brassy title
track to this 12″][1]{: target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"} is
unbelievably fresh. Straight-up garage with cheery horns may not always
sound like a winning combination, but "Brixton 2 Croydon" bops along
regardless.
While GD4YA doesn't follow the cartoon trend of other UKG labels, all of
its photographic artwork keeps the nostalgia going by borrowing from the
acclaimed[ collection of Georgina Cook][2]{: target="_blank"
rel="noreferrer noopener"}, whose photos date back to the early days of
dubstep (as documented in her visual archive, Drumz of the South).
