mss 0033

Mutant Sound System in conjunction with UK label Public Demand bring you a massive collection of the hottest in Speed Garage and Uk Underground House Music. Many of the biggest names in the underground (including a few of the U.S. legends) make an appearance including Tuff Jam, Bobby & Steve, Rhythm Masters, Secret Motion, DB Selective, and Bug Kann.An amped-up take on the classic house or "garage" sound, Speed Garage incorporates many of the elements which have propelled the UK dance scene for the last decade, twists them ever so slightly, and injects them with a slightly faster, grittier sensibility. Monster basslines and traces of breakbeats, jungle, and techno creep in, creating a supremely funky and deep listening experience.This streetwise rewrite on a classic groove is burning up the dance floors abroad and is now giving new life to the American scene. It's the funkiest, dirtiest, most underground sound around.

"Tougher and faster than it's U.S. prototype, Speed Garage is a winning combination of the most crowd-pleasing elements from house, jungle, and hardcore rave:sultry divas, dancehall reggae chatter, helium-shrill vocal samples, "dread" bass, and the filtering effects used by outfits like Daft Punk to make sounds shiver up your spine."--Spin
