Music Influences

Influences: TRACK 2

The second song I am writing is more easily classified within the wider genre of UK Garage, a predecessor of grime music. This seems only too suitable for our film, which is closely concerned with London culture, something that easily encompasses underground UK Bass music. One would not be unwise to presume that the characters in our film are aware of if not familiar with the UK Bass music scene. Here are some examples of songs that may have had influence on TRACK 2:

Ghost (El B)  - The Club

Sovereign - Bug a Boo

Groove Chronicles - Black Puppet

Despite UK Garage finding its earliest roots in the US and Speed Garage having supposedly been started in New Jersey, Garage has a definitive sound that people immediately associate with England and more specifically London. This sort of music would have been the soundtrack to the lives of so many Londoners like those in our film.
