We Are TGM Radio…

By now you probably realize you have discovered a very special website. Behind this site thrives an innovative, original, and fresh radio station that will be run by dozens of hosts with a passion for radio.

TGM Radio is the brainchild of Dane Thompson, a London entrepreneur who set out to realize his lifelong dream in an industry that has standardized on big-name hosts and celebrities.

The idea of delivering radio over the Internet led Dane to envision a new and different kind of radio station, one that would offer its listeners a variety of original programs with great entertainment value. What he had in mind, however, was a mainstream radio station that offered a variety of light, entertaining programs in the form of live streaming and on-demand listening.

All new hosts are encouraged to produce their own material and play however they want. This will create a relaxed, creative environment that brings hosts together and lead to a shared effort.

At TGM Radio Our programs will be of the highest quality. We’ll find you the best radio hosts for our station, so that what you’re listening to always sounds good. TGM Radio programming will have the best music (past and present), the latest hits from charts local and international, news and local traffic & weather.

Our aim is to Provide a continuous broadcast community radio and online. Give hosts the freedom, and opportunity to express their diverse voices through radio. Create contemporary sound and music and promote it to new audiences. Develop the capacity of the station to enable it to flourish.

TGM Radio welcomes you onboard and urges you to get ready for a musical journey.

The UK Garage All Stars Tour has been postponed until 2024

The celebratory arena tour was meant to commence in June

The highly-anticipated UK Garage All Stars Tour has postponed until 2024.

Announced earlier this year , the tour – put together by So Solid Crew and S9 founder Megaman – was due to kick off in June 2023.

The line-up will include genre staples like So Solid Crew, Pied Piper & Masters Of Ceremony, Heartless Crew , Maxwell D and more, and will feature tour stops in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, and London.

The tour is said to have been postponed due to “a potential TV documentary showcasing the history of this uniquely British phenomenon”.

A statement from management read: “Since the dates were announced last month, there has been such a wave of love and support for the UK garage scene that the project is expanding in all directions…Although this will disappoint fans who have bought tickets already, moving the shows to next year will allow producers, sponsors and promoters the time to properly celebrate over 25 years of UK garage hits.”

The creator of the tour, UK garage legend Megaman, added: “We love you for all the attention and support, it’s been a blessing to witness. I’m proud of being a part of creating this moment with so many others, and now it could be televised. Let’s do it in 2024, you deserve this and more.”

Remaining tickets remain valid, and new dates are expected to be announced soon.

In January, Megaman spoke on the tour’s inception when the tour was first announced.

“Besides being an artist I’m such a fan of the music; a genre created right here in the UK, which has gone on to achieve an incredible amount of Number One hits and platinum-selling records, I’ve always wanted to see it concert style,” he said.

Why Visit the UK Garage & Bodyshop Event

With the UK Aftermarket in the midst of its biggest shift in living memory, don't get left behind

Why Exhibit at the UK Garage & Bodyshop Event

The UK Garage & Bodyshop Event  is the perfect opportunity to engage with over 4,179 garages and bodyshops from across UK and Ireland. 

Strong industry advocacy

The event was excellent, and very interactive. It’s important to familiarise ourselves with the latest technology to assist a modern, busy bodyshop. We travelled a long way and I very much enjoyed the talks and seminars and to see our sector represented so well. Seeing it so busy proves how much we need this event Killashine Vehicle Body Repairs, Matthew Davies, Director

I see such a value in coming to the UK Garage and Bodyshop Event. It’s great to meet people face-to-face. I just love the conversations that I’m having – it was a really enjoyable day! Matt Cleveley, Cleveley EV

It was really, really busy and the first day was amazing. It’s probably one of the best events we've done in a long, long time. The second day was equally as good. Overall, it was really good, and we really enjoyed it. I’m glad we came and hope it keeps going as well as this for next few years. Autotech Group, Gavin White

We had a fantastic few days at the UK Garage and Bodyshop event, and experienced much higher numbers than I think anyone even expected! It was great to be back in front of our customers, this event is now very much a mainstay of our industry and it’s fantastic. ZF Aftermarket

It has been a jam-packed two days of training, manufacturers, and stands. There have been competition giveaways and it has been an extraordinary event. It’s really important for any garage owner to attend, as there’s so much on offer. Get your CPD nailed and come again for the next one!. Avia Autos, Hayley Pells

We met many garage owners who are users of our products but were not direct customers of ours. They were our customers’ customers. The feedback we drew from them was nothing short of terrific. We were able to answer their questions, but also able to introduce them to solutions that were not yet on their radar, but that we knew could be put to good use around their workshops. Lucus Oil

Spent the day down in NEC Birmingham at the UK Garage and Bodyshop Event with some of the best mechanics in the industry. Checking out the latest tools, equipment and the highest quality parts 👌🏻 It has been a truly fantastic day! Ells Auto Care, Elliott Smart

Incredible industry support

30yrs of The Garage: THE HIVES

The garage, london.

• Tue 13th June 2023
• Date: Tue 13th June 2023
• Doors Open: 7:00 pm
• On Sale: Tickets Open

Tickets are now available for 30yrs of The Garage: The Hives, at The Garage !

Swedish rock’n’roll heroes The Hives return this summer for 30yrs of The Garage: The Hives with their first studio album in over a decade. Today, the band announces The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons out August 11th, 2023 via world-leading music distributor FUGA. The announcement is paired with the release of the album’s muscular opening track ‘Bogus Operandi’ , whose insistent and incendiary yet suave sound fizzes with the wild energy that has become the legendary band’s calling card and sets the tone for the project as a whole. The song’s thrilling, gory and downright stylish music video is directed by Aube Perrie (Harry Styles, Megan Thee Stallion) – watch here . The announcement and new single precede a spring UK/EU arena tour with the Arctic Monkeys, as well as UK festival dates and intimate album in-store performances. The intimate shows are in Bristol and Nottingham (Rough Trade), and Prysm in Kingston (Banquet Records). Tickets are available from those retailers from May 4th. The band will also perform a very special underplay show at The Garage London. Fans will need to preorder the album from the band’s official UK webstore before 2pm on May 9th for access to an exclusive ticket presale for this show. Fan presale then takes place on May 10th, with tickets going on general sale Friday, May 12th.

As the album’s macabre title hints, The Hive’s extended absence from the studio has been no hiatus but rather a horror story. The Hives now admit they have not seen nor spoken to their founder, mentor and songwriter, the perpetual limelight-shunning Randy Fitzsimmons, since the release of 2012’s Lex Hives . Following the recent discovery of a hidden away obituary and cryptic poem in the local paper of the Northern Vastmanland town where The Hives are from, the band members were led to Fitzsimmons’ tombstone. Upon digging the freshly interred ground, the band found not a body but instead several tapes, suits, and a piece of paper bearing the words “The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons” typed up as if a title. Whether a hoax or Fitzsimmons’ opening gambit, remains to be seen. The uncovered tapes included the demos that would become the twelve new songs on The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons .

Of the new album, frontman Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist declares, “There’s no maturity or anything like that bullshit, because who the fuck wants mature rock’n’roll? That’s always where people go wrong, I feel. ‘It’s like rock’n’roll but adult,’ nobody wants that! That’s literally taking the good shit out of it. Rock’n’roll can’t grow up, it is a perpetual teenager and this album feels exactly like that, which it’s all down to our excitement – and you can’t fake that shit.”

Bassist The Johan And Only joins Chris Dangerous , Vigilante Carlstroem , Nicholaus Arson , and Howlin’ Pelle as a full member of The Hives following the departure of Dr Matt Destruction . Producer Patrik Berger captures the band’s punk energy and propensity for hits with his own roots in the Swedish punk scene and pop credentials including with Lana Del Rey , Robyn , and Charli XCX .

The album comes available as gatefold, glow in the dark vinyl, including a poster – limited edition D2C only.

​​In the twenty-five years since The Hives exploded around the world, they have sold out stadiums and shared stages with everyone from AC/DC to The Rolling Stones. They have sold millions of albums world-wide with multiple RIAA Gold-certifications. In the time since Lex Hives , the band has released 2019’s double A-side ‘I’m Alive’/’Good Samaritan’ as well as a live album via Third Man Records, and embarked on a series of global tours. The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons marks a true renaissance.

The rise and fall of UK Garage. The once troubled genre clawing a new path back into the clubs

If you have reached your mid-30s, dabbled in London life and been a clubber or DJ (or both), there is a high chance that your musical progression went something along the lines of this: Rave/Jungle/D&B to UK Garage to House Music. This was my musical path and there are still a legion of white van drivers listening to pirate radio, caught in gridlocked traffic and tooting their horns to poor passers-by, that will attest to something similar.

But I’d like to concentrate on the middle part – UK Garage- and take a retrospective look at a scene that once took over the airwaves and the nation, for it to then crash and burn and inevitably rise like a phoenix. A lot was written back then. Especially the sensationalist headlines that focussed on the violence opposed to the good it brought to London.

“I don’t really understand why the proper garage scene disappeared. In my humble opinion it’s still one of the best sounding club genres of all time. It was the perfect balance of urban music and dance/house music. It united people from all walks of life and still does today.” – Greg Stainer (DJ/Producer) Related Café Mambo Ibiza drops ‘Classics Under The Bridge’ in Peterborough Crooked House in The Park Unveils 2024 lineup

There have been numerous books and documentaries chronicling the scene. I’ve read and seen most of them but I’ve often wondered why UKG didn’t make it as a constant scene, much like D&B and House Music did. Back in the mid-90s pirate radio was King. Freek FM, De Ja Vu, London Underground and what seems like hundreds more bullied their way onto your pull out car stereo all across London.

Initially, the music being featured was very much a US thing, with artists like MK , Todd Edwards and Kerri Chandler gathering heavy rotation. But among the US stuff was a tougher, more twisted strain of garage that was decidedly British. Grant Nelson , Booker T and the Tuff Jam pairing of Matt Jam Lamont and Karl Tuff Enuff Brown are very popular examples of producers who were taking inspiration from across the pond and giving it a fresh UK spin.

Ironically a new genre – Speed Garage (that was widely vilified by DJs on the scene at the time) was borne via the spate of chart smashing remixes by American Armand Van Helden, which included Tori Amos ‘Professional Widow’ and Faithless ‘Insomnia’. The Speed Garage sound definitely brought heavy weight basslines and although the clubs were filled with Moschino wearing, champagne swigging ravers, the filthy basslines couldn’t help but bring the screw face. It was hard not to pull a bass face if you were at a club like Powerhouse in Hackney and DJ Ride dropped Renegade Bass.

Out of the dark, came the light and the ying to the Speed Garage yang gave us 2Step and a more musical, melodic style of UKG driven by artists like MJ Cole , TJ Cases, the Baffled crew and record labels like 4Liberty, who were putting the emphasis firmly on entertaining the ‘gyal dem’. As the original keyboard warriors of the UK Garage Worldwide Forum concerned themselves with the millennium bug and gunning noobs, it was becoming extremely apparent UKG was no longer underground.

The writing was all over the pirate radio studio wall. The holy triumvirate of UKG DJs- who were pushing the sound all-round the UK- were Tuff Jam, EZ and The Dreem Team with prime time shows on Kiss and Radio One. People paid for music back then- a crazy concept I know- and with Tuff Jam selling 75,000 copies of their Underground Frequencies compilation (one of the bestselling UKG compilations of recent years, Garage Nation sold 10,000) this trio and their peers were looked upon to remix all manner of chart stars or break new artists, as EZ did with Daniel Bedingfield .

With the spotlight on the UK Garage scene and money being poured into it, the cracks began to show with three defining factors taking the fore. Over Saturation – so many sound-alikes and any R&B track that didn’t come with a legit remix was bootlegged and pressed to white label. Separation – with Speed Garage gone, it was replaced by a darker type of garage like DJ Narrows ‘Saved Soul’ and this darker sound split the scene. Aggression : it was always there in the background but different cliques were clashing and regular violence was occurring in the clubs.

The once bubbling effervescent scene was getting shut out of clubs, played less on legal radio and gaining notoriety from arrests made to members of new garage crews- like So Solid. It wasn’t quite overnight but before you knew it the UK Garage scene was pretty much dead. Having been in this scene myself, I often wonder where it all went wrong? I think it’s too easy to point the finger at the violence. It didn’t help matters but I feel as a genre UK Garage was what I call a ‘Carrier Genre’.

It erupted off the back of US House, Garage and Jungle/D&B and merely served as a carrier for all the ravers, producers and DJs coming out of those scenes. Once things started to go wrong it split again, spawning the Grime scene and the majority moved on, becoming fully fledged House heads.

“What started as an underground movement, with innovative new sounds, became saturated. When a hit new song comes out many follow it, but they are not as good. During the UKG boom a lot of A&Rs signed singles and artists which they thought would make it big. The problem was there were too many songs and artists signed to these majors. Big money got spent, none came back and those same A&Rs got fired. So UKG fell out of the mainstream. Same thing happened in the club’s.” – Ed Case

Some would argue that UK Garage never went away. Yes- DJs like EZ and DJ Luck continued to play plenty in the barren period but old commercial tracks being played in Luminar Leisure back rooms and on Kisstory, does not constitute a scene. Meanwhile Grime was making waves with Wiley and Dizzee doing the business.

A decade on from the first carrier genre, the UK ravers were treated to its second coming – UK Funky. Which put crudely, was just UKG in disguise and not a great disguise at that. Lyrics, melodies, vocalists and MC verses were all the same as before. This time round the 2step drum patterns were replaced by afro beats. UK Funky didn’t quite hit the heady heights of its predecesso, but it made some stars, like Crazy Cousinz, Katy B. Of course the majors were sniffing around again and getting those compilations on the shelves at Tesco.

“The underground deep house and garage scene started as a very close knit party scene. UK producers started making our own tunes with our own influences and this morphed in to 2 Step. Eventually the powers that be decided it was too much of a threat, after some unfortunate incidents and it went back underground where it belonged and we are now seeing it as an underground sound, with a much wider, younger, friendlier crowd” – Dominic Spreadlove

But as quick as it came it was gone, and ravers moved on in their droves. Does this musically transient behaviour come down to the fact London is constantly evolving? As someone who was born and bred here and watched it transform dramatically over the years, the constant musical progression in London fascinates me.

London is a tastemaker and what we do, others pay close attention too. But conversely, if a scene looks like the wheels are coming off, we scarper like we never had any playlists on our iTunes…Dubstep anyone? Sounds fickle but that’s the nature of the beast. We will always have our constants: D&B and House Music are the King and Queen of our musical game of chess. Knights and Rooks are solid scenes like Soulful House and Techno and the Pawns are nano-genres that journos like to create on a daily bases.This intricate game is constantly being played and sometimes a scene like UK Garage gets checkmate.

But is UK Garage truly dead? Ministry of Sound certainly didn’t get the memo. The club giant has recently programmed a Garage night on a Saturday (which was previously unheard of) and while it may have attracted plenty of old ravers, there is also a new legion of UKG clubbers. Plenty of those newer clubbers even get a fix of UKG at one of London’s most popular events Abode, who tend to include a garage hour at their events that is book ended with some serious house and techno.

The Kurupt FM crew from BBC 3’s ‘People Just Do Nothing’ mockumentary series and the rebirth of Craaaaaaig David would’ve gone some way to put garage on many peoples’ radar too. Along with new music on UKG stalwart Tony Portelli’s M.I. Raw Recordings being played by DJ Target or DJ Q on 1xtra and Kiss FM respectively. If you want it and you’re looking beyond your Kiss FM UKG classic mix block, Garage music is out there and maybe this time round it will remain constant?
