Future garage

Details#

Future garage incorporates a variety of influences from UK garage and softer elements from 2-step garage. The name was coined by Whistla before the appearance of Future Garage Forum in November 2009. In Issue 108 of MusicTech Magazine from March 2013, it was suggested that future garage should employ re-pitched vocals, soft leads with a round attack or an acoustic lead, subbass or a square wave bass with a modulating filter, and a four-to-the-floor or 2-step garage drum beat with off-the-grid hi-hats. The distinct swing in future garage drum beats is the focus on “late” or humanized hi-hats between the kick and snare patterns.
