It has been 30 years since the rhythm and beats of UK garage music took the UK by storm.

The genre has consistently evolved since the 1990s , becoming a party-starting sound.

Artists including AJ Tracey , Disclosure, PinkPantheress and Rudimental have all released tracks.

Some of the genre’s icons say it is more than just music.

So Solid Crew’s Oxide and Neutrino say garage is less MC heavy and more production DJs.

They feel the genre has now developed into being less MC-driven and more produced.

Aspiring garage artist BVNQUET agrees it’'s a different era now.

He says he's not seen as many people listening to garage at one time as they do now.
