Following the monumental success of I Love House, selling over 150,000 copies, it’s time to rewind, reload and take a 2-step back to one of the biggest genres to come from the UK music scene… as Ministry of Sound proudly presents ‘I Love Garage’. Two decades on from its inception in the London clubs, the influence of garage is still present in today’s charts. Legends like EZ are booked solid, and the influence of artists like MJ Cole & Wookie can be heard in works of artists like Disclosure and more. This epic album expertly encapsulates and retrospectively documents the seminal sounds of original UK Garage, across 66 vocal garage cuts including all of the lost gems you’d forgotten about. CD1 dusts off the dirt of UKG’s biggest chart hits, featuring infectious lyrics from tracks such as ‘Rewind’ by Artful Dodger Featuring Craig David, ‘Gotta Get Thru This’ from Daniel Bedingfield, ‘Flowers’ from Sweet Female Attitude, ‘A Little Bit of Luck’ by DJ Luck & MC Neat’ and ‘Sweet Like Chocolate’ from Shanks & Bigfoot. Moving into CD2, we deliver a stalwart mix of certified anthems while CD3 includes massive tracks from Tina Moore, The Streets, Armand Van Helden, Harddrive, The Nightcrawlers, Zinc, Azzido Da Bass and MJ Cole. Last but not least we bring you the darker side of the bassline featuring early grime and speed garage weapons from the like of So Solid Crew, Oxide & Neutrino, Double 99 and Wookie alongside a selection of underground classics from the likes of Zak Toms, Sticky, Sia, Nu-birth, Cleptomaniacs and Amira. So the question to ask yourself is this… do YOU love Garage?
