With UK garage hotly tipped as the sound of summer 2000, this double CD compilation should prove essential listening for enthusiasts and passing spectators alike. These 38 tracks are like a quick reference guide to the most important artists and labels on the scene, proving that there is much more to 2 step than the Artful Dodger and Craig David. In testament to the crossover success achieved by these artists, both "Fill Me In" and "Movin' Too Fast" provide valuable reference points for the uninitiated amongst what otherwise is a truly esoteric mix. Garage Nation, promoters of the biggest and best UK garage events at home, in Ibiza and the scene's very own hot spot Ayia Napa, have left the task of compiling the selection to their resident DJ Jason Kaye. The credentials of his choices should not be questioned for a minute, Kaye's having been an important influence in the growing popularity and following for the scene. The Stanton Warriors mix of the Basement Jaxx's "Jump and Shout" is a brilliant example of the genre as the ultimate remixing tool, while Daryl Band Mark Yardley's reworking of "Street Life" is sure to keep you singing along all summer. --Ruby Shepheard
