Woebot's post on Johnny Too Dark made me think, "Blimey, in a year's time, it'll be ten years since speed garage".

His latest post shows that in fact the UKG decade anniversary is already upon us--if you date the ignition point from Tina Moore's 1996 "Never Gonna Let You Go" , whence spawned diva-lick-as-siren vocal science (via "Ripgroove" et al) and the 2step rhythm (via Kelly G's Bump-N-Go rmx of "Never Gonna").

How the time flies...
