    All Your Playcounts Are Fake – In The Garage With Phonetix and BrainZ – ITG 014

    All your playcounts on Spotify are fake! Or are they? We tread the delicate boards of discussing music marketing on streaming platforms and ask how much is to be believed. We also take a look at some fresh bangers from Ed James, Digital Koala, Adam Kronik, Shunji Fujii, Howden & Bakey amongst a whole bunch of others. We also revisit an early Scott Tonic production, and delve into a forgotten gem from the Far East.

    Pushing Garage n Bass To The Redline – In The Garage With Phonetix and BrainZ – ITG 013

    We’re back after a somewhat longer than usual layoff to discuss the latest goings-on in Garage & Bass music, & that only means more hot tracks to discuss. We spotlight fresh stuff from Rhades & FM-3, SHOSH & Kelsey, Clarcq, Indigo Eyes & Blush_ko, Jon Buccieri and Sam Binga/Redders & Bakey. There’s a larger-than-usual run-through of “the best of the rest”, & – as per – we dive back into the lost years of UKG, with Will Phillips & Jeremy Sylvester as our guides. To round off, Rob has a good old moan about the overuse of limiting during the mastering process.

    Jazzstep Boners – In The Garage With Phonetix and BrainZ – ITG 012

    It’s that time again to get tumescent with trumpets as we’re back with our monthly Garage n Bass round up. The tail-end of winter is always an interesting (read: sometimes bleak) time for the music release cycle, as the end-of-year rush stops and people start planning for that summer anthem. We talk about fresh tracks from Duke Skellington, Oppidan, Bake, MPH, MKII, Zegeon and a whole bunch more. We also dive back into the lost years of UKG, with Control-S & DIY as our guides. To round off, we talk about the resurgence (or insurgence) of UK Garage playlists on streaming services like Apple & Amazon Music, and take a quick gander at Kanye West’s new bonkers distribution model.

    Rise of the Johnny One-Play – In The Garage With Phonetix and BrainZ – ITG 009

    It’s that time of year where every website is hyping up sales around some sort of darkened Friday. Us Brits seemingly adopted this crazed day revolving around spending as much money as you can straight after a public holiday that we don’t celebrate. Quite frankly, it’s baffling. Did not see any UK Garage discounts going on my favourite MP3 sites. But anyway, I digress. We’re checking in on our favourite Garage n Bass thumpers from the past month, with tracks from Laura Alice, kyo, Matt Carey & Hien, Hans Glader, Bass Trick & Friendless. We revisit tunes from yesteryear from MJ Cole & Qualifide. We also debate the rising trend of only ever playing out a song once before it’s gone forever – the Johnny One-Play.
