pastoral garage



Jon Dale alerts me to a new genre of "pastoral garage"

garage meaning UKgarridge

the artist explains here:

"The new idea is ‘pastoral garage,’ because I was thinking about all of the guitar textures in UK garage, and how I want to extend that. That also comes from the fact that I grew up listening to dance music in the countryside, and trying to get my head around what that means. How can we think about what dance music would sound like if it came from the countryside? And what does that say about intersections of queerness and race — because, obviously, the countryside is overwhelmingly white. Trying to break down a little bit of my position and context, and hopefully make some good, exciting, weird, increasingly specific music."

Just to confirm, 'pastoral garage' came from an interview w/ Poisonous Relationship: "The new idea is ‘pastoral garage,’ because I was thinking about all of the guitar textures in UK garage, and how I want to extend that. That also comes from the fact that I grew up listening to dance music in the countryside, and trying to get my head around what that means.

I probably wasn't clear enough in my emails, for which - mea culpa

Cheers,
