Review: Time Is Now operates at the darker end of the garage spectrum, with menacing 2sep sounds and plenty of hefty bass sounds. Stepping up and stepping in with the latest offering is Bakey, a newly emergent artist in this genre and someone with considerable skill. 'Bring It Back' is a real bass bin botherer with rinsing jungle breaks and screw-face bass. 'Vibing Season' cuts loose on lithe bass with some hard bars from Slay then 'No Name' explores a silky soul on bumping beats. 'Reduced Vision' is a sublime glitch-step and 'Poison Dart' comes on heavy with the hyper minimalist jungle riddims.

Review: By now everyone knows Time Is Now is a sure bet when it comes to the freshest new garage, breakbeat and all-round smart, headsy party gear, and so we pay attention when a fresh name crops up. Bluetoof has been spotted here and there, on a split 12" with Soundboy Cookie and on an Accidental Meetings compilation, but this marks one of their biggest releases to date, which kicks off in style with the big, booming and spacious roller 'Alakazam'. 'Perilous' takes things into gnarly, darkside 2-step, while 'That Got Dark' goes to town on the cool and deadly breakbeats. Interplanetary Criminal steps up with a hollering remix of 'That Got Dark' that opts for bashy 4x4 as the rhythm of choice, and makes an absolute monster in the process.

Review: Living dance music legend BOP joins Shall Not Fade for his label debut, laying down four slick and dreamatic nu-garage numbers. Kicking things off with the unassuming, falsetto'ing opener 'SK1 4AL' with Cortese on vocals, the track is at once a tribute to what is presumably BOP's hometown, Stockport, and an intricately-layered lattice in gossamer future garage to boot; the purest element of weight in the track is its decisive Reese, which serves as a clean bass against which the superstructural tsunami of wavey tops and melodies can crash. 'Sparks' follows up, betraying an intelli-garage swing before dashing any highbrow assumptions arrived at thereupon, through a set of carnal passionate 4x4 skitters; the B-side is a relative, occult dark garage steamer, best manifesting on the femme-floaty chanteuse's 2-step, 'Deja Vu'.

Review: Having previously operated on Shall Not Fade, Tuff Trax pops up on the Bristol-based imprint's UKG-inspired offshoot, Time Is Now, via a five-track collaboration with fellow Melbourne resident Cold Past. There's plenty to get the blood pumping and the feet moving across the EP, from the shoulder-swinging beats, chunky bass, hazy vocal snippets and smile-inducing organ sounds of 'Fluffs', and the stab-happy deep house/UKG fusion of 'Groovekiller' , to the rolling peak-time bump of 'Tigerstyle' - where grime style synth string stabs, metronomic sub-bass and flashes of funk guitar catch the ear - and the piano-sporting bounce of 'Half Full'.

Review: Cortese hail from Manchester, but Time Is Now hail from Germany, and the trans-European dialogue implied in this comes with a sense of mutual appreciation. For a good while now, German pushers have been appropriating UK styles into their repertoire. They've made an exceptional choice on this slice of future garage from the Mancunian pair, whose 5 chosen tracks from the 'Wrong Train' EP echo everything from Burial to, well, a cleaner and less lo-fi version of Burial. Jokes aside, theirs is a garage sound so completely unique in its dreaminess, cleanliness and moodiness - with its lowpassed vocals popping out like grannies to the shops - it's clear that the only aim Cortese have in mind is to sedate, sedate, sedate with their swung flows and junglist curveballs (don't miss the last tune, whatever you do).

Review: Diffrent makes a powerful entrance with his debut 'My Sound' EP on Bristol's Time Is Now label, building on the success of his summer hit 'A Little Closer,' which had clubs across Europe buzzing in 2024. Here, he dives into the UK's rich foundations of garage, bass and breaks, delivering a weighty yet finely tuned sound that's unmistakably his own. It's the kind of chuggy, speed-garage flavour that's capturing everyone's craving right now. For a debut, 'My Sound' lands with impressive force as each track brings fresh flair and a distinctive character. From the first drop, it's clear Diffrent is carving out a unique spot in modern dance music, positioning him as one to watch.

Review: Time Is Now is one of the leading proponents of the current garage revival. The reason for that is the freshness they are bringing to the scene and here they welcome a new name to the ranks with DJ Crisps. He operates at the darker end of the spectrum on 'Diamonds', with its low end swagger and yelping vocal stabs. 'Lyrical' taps into a rich vein of UK music with its heavy bass oscillations and 'No Worries' is a popping tune to kick start any party. 'Knock It Down' is our favourite though with its broad bass sweeps and wooden hits, twisted synth patterns and sense of late night menace.

Review: UK garage goes increasingly wonky on DJ Jackum's latest EP for Time Is Now. Working in Skrillexy sound design - nasal growls, puffy metal snares, thin but heavy mixes - the enigmatic Jackum makes a real racket of a debut here, delivering four genre-poking bangers of a difficult-to-peg style. 'Vibe' is especially anthemic, being a rare example of a garage tune centred largely on the second and fourth beat handclap and not the kick; 'Push Dat' veers more into hooligan rave territory, pushing the to bass bus to redline; and the final 'Pimpin'' offers a crazed shuffle and vocal sample; this is a bold and creative expansion of an existing sound.

Review: Although we have all enjoyed garage's return to the spotlight in recent years, it is now very much time for the front runners to start innovating and bringing something fresh before it all gets stale again. Holloway is that man as he proves here. 'Into The '00s' mixes up some dirty dubstep with grimy synths and 2-step beats to great effect. 'Destiny' then spins out on soulful vocals over plunging bass and 'Ode To Shakeys' slips into a rude boy shuffle that will sweep up any floor. Last of all is 'Hypnotiq,' a double speed and jazzed up number with heart-melting chords and wispy sax motifs.

Review: In case the first couple of releases passed you by, Timeisnow is a new UK garage focused sub-label from Bristol-based house stable Shall Not Fade. This is the imprint's third 12" and showcases cuts from London-based rising star Holloway, whose previous outings include contributions to split EPs from another West Country label, the under-fire Dr Banana. There's much to enjoy throughout, from the two-step brilliance of opener "Hold U Close" - all sweet, seductive female lead vocals, Armand Van Helden "dark garage" sub-bass and jazzy musical flourishes - to the breakbeat garage heaviness of "MFCC", which reminded us of Zed Bias' earliest work as Maddslinky on Sirkus. Elsewhere, "Homage To Claro" is a bouncy broken beat affair, while "Bad Days" explores the moodier end of the two-step spectrum.

Review: Interplanetary Criminal goes from strength to strength, following up on the breakthrough success of a major label production credit for Eliza Rose to deliver his fifth drop for Timeisnow. As you should know by now, low down dirty garage is the order of the day on this 12", with Killa P upping the levels by gripping the mic on deadly lead track 'Gangster Time'. Meanwhile, the subs get centre stage billing on 'MC Tip', with ample space left for Main Phase to spit bars over the top. 'Beat Work' slips a little Dance Mania sass into the 4x4 bounce of the beat, while 'Coming On Strong' amps up that feeling with an absolute monster b-line that will get mosh pits breaking out if you dare unleash it on a proper system.

Review: Increasingly vital garage label Time Is Now keeps on kicking with this superb various artist six tracker. It recalls close associates like Holloway and Interplanetary Criminal as wells enlisting new names. All shades and sodas are covered here with face mangling jams like 'Mercy' covering the darker end of the spectrum and more sweet and fluid jams like 'Uptown' from Ollie Rant bringing plenty of soul, and a healthy dose of sax. Vocal pumpers from Soul Mass Transit and dubbed out minimalism from Holloway complete this most crucial of cuts.

Review: Killjoy's Straight 2 The Neck EP delivers four vibrant UK Garage tracks guaranteed to ignite any party. Side-1 starts with 'Heat In The Dance,' a catchy mid-tempo breaks track featuring a swirling, atmospheric drop that captivates from the get-go. Following this, 'Paradise' (4x4 mix) brings a heavy garage bassline infused with elements of 90s house, creating a nostalgic yet fresh sound. Side-2 opens with 'Lighter Massive,' an energetic and busy house track designed to shake the dancefloor. The EP closes with the title track, 'Straight 2 The Neck,' which blends jungle influences with bouncy, MC sample-laden beats for a high-octane finish. Killjoy's Straight 2 The Neck EP is a fun and dynamic addition to the UK Garage genre, showing the diverse influences and infectious energy throughout.

Review: Shall Not Fade/Time Is Now hook up a new initiate, fellow hair-raiser producer Mance, for a sharp bee sting in the vein of true-blue speed garage and spindle-warbling 2-step, 'Passing The Impassable'. The EP also incorporates shed thoraxes from breakbeat and an extra special ocular compound eye from bass music, making for a trad British, room two feel. All weighty, and with the force of a wasps' nest gone ballistic, we lead with the inflated basses and surface-tense, sped outbuilding dynamics of the title track's Come Rudeboy remix, the rudest of the lot. Then 'Hornet's Nest' fronts an 808ing, samply-wamply crumpler, marking a full-on nailing of fatness; not long before the garage door is again prized open on Oxide's new version of 'Can I', giving subsequent rise to the minimal afterthought 'Verbal Glock'.
