Strictly 4x4 tracks from the bumpy era of garage which happened between 2002 - 2006. This whole movement was massively influenced by Todd Edwards, Matt Jam & Karl Brown. I lived and breathed this music and have picked some of my favourite tracks from that era for this mix. I tried to keep the tracks mainly released ones so that people who may have not heard them stand a chance of hunting them down. 
There were many tracks i wanted to put in, but the mix would of gone on for hours so i kept it to some of my favourites and some tracks which helped define the era.

Koris - Live @ Trance Escape Radioshow, Couleur3, 07.01.2002

“I’ve Been the Villain in Your Story Too Long” is a defiant yet vulnerable anthem for anyone who's tired of being blamed for someone else's narrative. Over a bouncing minor-key beat that fuses emotional reggaetón and lo-fi trap, CC3PO delivers raw, confessional verses that expose the exhaustion of always being cast as the bad guy — even when you've done the heavy lifting.

With gritty emotional detail and real-world honesty, this track is more than just a breakup song — it's a reclamation of voice. Delivered in half-spoken, half-sung vocals and layered with ambient tension and subtle glitch elements, it’s for anyone who’s ever been misunderstood, miscast, or manipulated into silence.

Warning: This track contains explicit lyrics that reflect the reality of unresolved emotional cycles, digital toxicity, and everyday pain that doesn’t make it into highlight reels.

DJ SNAK3 : “MUSIC” 🔥

Brooklyn NY was already shaking when DJ SNAK3 stepped behind the decks that night.

It wasn’t the kind of night you plan — it was the kind that happens when the city’s pulse syncs with yours.
The warehouse lights flickered blue against the concrete walls, the crowd packed tight, waiting for that next track — the one nobody had heard yet, the one that could flip the whole room inside out.

And then it hit.

“MUSIC.”

Not a studio draft.
Not a pre-mixed version.
Not a safe, polished radio edit.

This track was born live, crafted in real time in the middle of a Brooklyn NY storm of bodies, sweat, neon, and bass.
Every twist of the filter, every kick that shook the air, every glitch and pulse — all captured straight from the set where the crowd’s energy shaped the sound.

It wasn’t just a track.
It was a moment.

A moment when Brooklyn NY wasn’t just a city — it was an instrument.

From the first glowing synth sweep to the heavy drop that made the ceiling shake, “MUSIC” became more than a title. It became a reminder of why we’re here — why we gather in dark rooms lit by LEDs, why we dance until our lungs burn, why we chase that one sound that hits the soul harder than anything else.

DJ SNAK3 walked off that stage knowing something rare had happened.
Not perfect.
Not controlled.
But alive.

And now, that exact live-born energy — unfiltered, untamed, and unapologetic — is being released to the world.

This is more than a track.
This is the sound of a Brooklyn NY night captured in electricity.

This is
“MUSIC.”

Where’d that girl go (REMIX)

Turnt

My debut into the electronic music scene.
A classic 90s Good Looking Records style atmospheric drum & bass/jungle track. No gimmicks, no breakcore, no corny anime girl aesthetics.
Runtime is long enough to let all the elements breathe, unlike the modern trend to make all tracks 2-3 minutes long.
No lazy volume decrease at the end of the track - I made sure it properly echoes out into silence.
Based on break switches and new sounds coming in progressively.
Runtime: 9:55 (Everything after is silence that l couldn't cut out).
Enjoy.
