what are you on about man! this music is beyond awesome! I am kind of sad i didnt grow up in the late 90s/2000s 😦 This music is and always will be better than any crap they make now in my generation and my opinion. UK garage is AWESOME
BBC 3's People Just Do Nothing brought me here. The show and cast are brilliant. As being 29 years old.........its made rediscover UK garage all over again! Love it.
Orange Bacardi breezers me! Or orange Reef...remember them? And white chocolate corkies shots! 🤪 Back in the day where you could have a bottle in one hand, and a fag in the other. I miss those days.💃
My favorite garage tune.It feels like this whole garage hype lasted only 2 years here in germany .The british soldiers brought it here and i liked it alot and still do.Coming from Dnb /Jungle and garage /2 step was the shit in the early 2000´s.Miss this time!
these songs make me wanna cry, I'm 20 now, but these remind me of being with all my old skool friends having a great time back when I was at school ( when I was 13-15)
any thing better than that twat bro how grime got mainstream is beyond me but its died down thank fuck uk garage has been make a comeback for years and years there uk chorcle garage vestivals events going on now
the rights aren't cleared - I'm trying to get it sorted with the label. Someone released the record without asking permission from myself and Craig so it got pulled.
@@CocoStarmusic please do, this tune is classic. and an example of how iconic UK Garage is to our musical culture. the deep bass, siren vocals, insanely complex percussion. this and 'its all about the stragglers' is gonna be lost to time cos no one can fuckin listen to it! (also mad respect for your work, we love ya)
@@CocoStarmusic I had inferred from what Mark Hill had said about Craig David's manager, Colin Lester, in his interview with 'Speakhertz', that this version of 'It Ain't Enough', as well as 'R U Ready' were never officially released and were re-done without Craig David's vocals because Colin was trying to separate Craig from Artful Dodger. Is there anything to this? Mark commented that they had difficulty obtaining Craig for their performance of 'Re-Rewind' on 'Top of the Pops' and Colin wouldn't let Craig appear in the video with them either.
@@CocoStarmusic Interesting that you mention the 'Essex underworld'. When I was researching Artful Dodger and Public Demand it wasn't long before the names of some, let's say, colourful characters started to come up. I note that Discogs mentions Andy Swallow on its Public Demand page. There seems to have been a fair bit of sinister and unscrupulous activity surrounding 'Artful Dodger'. Having read a lot of interviews with Mark Hill and Pete Devereux, they quite often seemed to be very vague regarding elements of their story, especially in relation to how DJ Dave Low and MC Alistair ended up performing as 'Artful Dodger'. 'Essex underworld' politics again?
@@CocoStarmusic Ouch. Such an aggressive response is odd since Mark Hill has always presented as a very genteel personality in interviews, etc. I have never heard him say anything bad about Public Demand; their apparent hijacking and exploitation of the Artful Dodger name notwithstanding. Regarding the 'volatile reactions from the Essex underworld', was this things that you experienced yourself, or were they the experiences of others that you heard about?
Mark Hill and Pete Deveraux were a great duo. Such a shame that the record company owned the name Artful Dodger and it’s now a couple of pretenders djing under such an iconic brand
I'm pretty sure it was the original version which featured Coco Starr [of Toca's Miracle fame - another interesting story] and Craig David. The video was made for a subsequent version which featured MC Alistair [who now tours as one half of the so-called imposter Artful Dodger] and MZ May. I once spoke to Coco Star and she commented that MC Alistair was only ever involved because of 'pressure from the Essex underworld' - I didn't ask for further details. It's interesting because the original version of 'R U Ready' also featured Craig David, who was ultimately replaced by MC Alistair on the final version of that track as well. I am also aware that Colin Lester had a hostile attitude to Artful Dodger and did everything he could to separate Craig David from his association with them, so that might have something to do with it as well.
Wish they’d bring garage back, not a fan of the new music although I like A J Tracy some of his tunes have a garage feel to it, Ladbroke Grove for example.
