UK garage (also known as UKG or speed garage) is an umbrella term that refers to several different varieties of modern electronic dance music generally connected to the evolution of garage house and the popularity of jungle in the United Kingdom during the mid-1990s. A variation of the genre, 2-step, will seed the germination of grime in East London a decade later.
Artists like The Artful Dodger, Double 99, Grant Nelson, So Solid Crew, Heartless Crew, The Streets, Shanks & Bigfoot, Craig David, DJ Luck & MC Neat, Sweet Female Attitude, Sunship (Ceri Evans), Oxide and Neutrino, and numerous others have made the mainstream in the UK, whilst Dizzee Rascal's and Wiley's arrival in the mid-2000s raised the profile of grime.
