UK Garage may have originated in the United Kingdom but its influence continues to extend throughout the underground music scene as new generations discover the work of the genre�s pioneers and their rule-book tearing approach to productions which established entirely new rhythms and grooves outside the standard 4x4 house music template. Obstacle Records is a new label that provides a home for established international artists adopting new aliases in order to release productions drawing on Speed Garage, 2-Step and Broken Beat�s collective heritage. Paying homage to the likes of Locked On, Nice & Ripe and Tuff Jam, while also offering fresh new interpretations of their classic sounds, Obstacle�s limited-pressing releases will appeal to a broader audience than just UKG revivalists, at a time when the genre�s influence can be found in the DJ sets and productions of microhouse heroes, Bristol up & comers and Berghain residents. Obstacle Records 0101 - The Jam Therapy EP features a pair of 2-step rollers that take the rhythm into deep space, with richly textured soundscapes complimenting the intricate beat structures, while Funk Head�s �Lost In Tijuana� mix of the A-side �Midnight Hour� adds hip hops beats and vocal snippets for a King Britt/Nervous Records-style understated groover.
