Garage DJ Playlists

Mastermix Label Manager Richard Lee provides inspiration for Garage tracks and playlists for mobile and event DJs.

In the late 90s / early 00s there was a huge spike in the popularity of Garage music thanks to break-through hits from artists including:

  • DJ Pied Piper & the Masters of Ceremonies – Do You Really Like It
  • Artful Dodger & Craig David – Re-Rewind The Crowd Say Bo Selecta
  • Sweet Female Attitude – Flowers
  • Architechs feat. Nana – Body Groove

This trend continued with hit songs like:

  • 3 Of A Kind – Baby Cakes
  • Daniel Bedingfield – Gotta Get Thru This
  • Mis-Teq – Why

Recently there has been a huge resurgence in the popularity of classic Garage anthems that has also influenced modern recording artists like:

  • AJ Tracey – Ladbroke Grove
  • Headie One feat. AJ Tracey & Stormzy – Ain’t It Different

The Garage sound is exciting, uplifting and is always well received on a dancefloor. The cool sound sits perfectly with classic dance anthems and modern music trends including Drum & Bass, House & Pop Dance.

Mastermix have created Essential Hits: Garage that has all you need to create a Garage DJ set. The collection has a unique DJ-friendly formula that includes 40 huge tracks that are complemented by 10 Transition tracks
that allow to move from one dance style to another.

We’ve called on the expertise of 3 high profile professional DJs from the Mastermix team to share their preferred Garage playlists and how they incorporate them into a set.
