Review: It's been a very exciting run for the 24hr Garage Girls, with head honcho Shosh pushing the brand further forward with a run of very exciting live shows now on the way. This compilation is a perfect way for them to launch into 2022, exploring some of the finest talents currently active within the UKG world. They have assembled a mighty roster, featuring the likes of Smasher, Soulecta, Fabian Dubz, K9, SOULSTATE, Sub Templa, Joe Burger & more. The quality level has never been higher, however, there are a few clear standouts we have to mention. Shosh's own submission alongside the wonderful Leanne Louise takes the title 'Just Words' and lands as an immediate floor-filling anthem, alongside Smokey Bubblin' B & Zefer's party starting original: 'Unless It's Sweet' and Laura Alice's crunchy roller 'Don't Know'.
Review: It's been a little while since she has returned home, but it's always great to see SHOSH land back on the 24hr Garage Girls imprint, this time donning three powerful garage creations, combining the old school with the now in fantastic fashion. We open with a monumental remix as SHOSH digs out the original vocals for DJ Luck & MC Neat's classic 'Little Bit Of Luck' for an official remix, giving the whole original a dizzying rework, jam-packed with electronic intricacies and explosive bass action. Next, another familiar vocal sample comes into play on the singalong sounds of 'Want It', before 'Hype Dub' explores just how exciting SHOSH's sound has become with a phenomenal display of instrumental finesse. Very tidy stuff indeed!
Review: It's always exciting to catch up with the 24hr Garage Girls imprint to see what they have been up to, with this latest drop proving to be a certified gem from the second it landed in our new releases box. They unveil a powerful new collection for their first compilation drop of 2021, including music from heavyweight garage faces such as Champion, MPH, Tuff Culture, Vital Techniques and more, whilst also introducing some of the most exciting new faces in Hans Glader, Oppidan & Zefer. The nine-track selection is seriously impressive, with Shosh's own 'Stick It Up' original proving to be one of the initial highlights, alongside the super colourful melodic slides and scatty drum work of 'Guard The Barrier' from Breaksmiths. Incredible stuff from an incredible team.
Review: As a brand, the 24hr Garage Girls movement has taken the UK by storm this year, popping up at both club events and festivals nationwide, often turning themselves into the highlight of the evening regardless of the rest of the line up. This EP see's Shosh join the wave, as we kick off with the smooth, UKG inspired sounds of 'Take On You'. We traverse down a more speed garage avenue next with 'Nine 2 Five', before rolling into the straight bassline flames of 'Shotta'. Finally we finish up this impressive body of work alongside Onyx Stone in the official VIP mix of 'Light It Up', rounding things off nicely.
