Descendant of House music which originated in the UK, UK Garage is a lively, mid-tempo,
pointed, syncopated, and groove-based Broken-Beat focused Electronic Dance music.
UK Garage quintessentially features a distinctive syncopated, hi-pass filtered Broken
Beat which interplays with a syncopated dub-style synth bass, frequently combined
with 'chopped up' and time or pitch-shifted vocal samples and a pop sensibility-focused
song structure. The defining musical elements of Garage were largely absorbed into
other sub-genres in the mid-2000s, including Grime, UK Funky, Dubstep and Bassline.
