Music Uncovered - 8. Long live UK Garage.
Download 8. Long live UK Garage.
In Summer 2019, no one expected a summer garage anthem, but we definitely got it when AJ Tracey dropped Ladbroke Grove.
Electronic music aficionado Eliza Rose became inspired by underground records and female vocalists to create the ultimate sing along with her hit record Baddest of Them All (B.O.T.A.).
AJ Tracey and Eliza are part of a new school of British stars re-imagining garage music and introducing the genre to a brand new generation.
Jamz and Spoony look at just how far UK Garage has come and some of the new voices creating their own UKG legacy.
In this episode, we hear from AJ Tracey, Eliza Rose, Leanne Brown and Craig David.
