Love Garage. LOVE UK Garage. Because it’s pretty amazing – what’s not to love about fast, syncopated, drum patterns with pulsing strings and Rhodes organs winding around it? Add some soulful vocals and you have a recipe for the greatest genre that didn’t quite manage to hold on.
Enter Delilah, as remixed by MJ Cole, one of the original UK garage guys. Beautiful and emotional, the chorus rings out with melancholy until Cole loops the vocals into itself as a pseudo drum-roll. it resolves into a flurry of jazzy Rhodes organ (see :30 and 2:20) that’s enough to make hearts race.
Pardon the radio rip.
