...but what the f**k happened to it?

The stupid number of road miles covered and trees smoked while jamming to the shit. Mental. Todd Edwards and MJ Cole completely owned the scene in its heyday IMO.

A few mellower joints to get the nostalgia flowing:

Todd Edwards - Ooh Baby
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkt-8Qhd7k8

3rd Core - Mindless & Broken (MJ Cole Mix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orRIV1SK0Gc

MJ Cole - Sincere
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCIXjKSwuWA

Todd Edwards - Shut the Door
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qYhfA-2Img

Todd Edwards - Come Around
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8ZNWlSHLP4

Please share any more shit you may have archived up somewhere with the same sort of feel. There's gotta be stuff I haven't yet come across.

Anything sort of similar at all doing the rounds at the minute? Am I just not looking in the right places? Or is it really dead for good?

It'll come back. It's all cyclic. It's still played in clubs in North London.

New stuff, not sure although there are elements of it in Jackin House (certain tracks):

Serious? Any clubs in particular to look out for? Can't say I've heard much of it apart from the odd gem randomly played once in a while. I don't think I've come across a place that consistently plays the stuff.

Nice. Playlisted.

Not sure about the Jackin House stuff. You can sense some elements that are familiar, but it's composed with a completely different feel to it. I guess some would call it 'evolution'.

Still love it and still discovering gems from the golden era (to me) from 1995 - 2002

Not talking about 'chav garridge' - I'm talking the real deal;

Jeremy Sylvester
Industry Standard
MJ Cole
Sunship
TJ Cases
Ty Holden
Karl H
Ray Hurley
Tuff Jam

And of course Todd

I am all for this thread! UK garage was the soundtrack to my youth....

MJ Cole Sincere is a highlight, but the tune I played to death was Artful Dodger "Think About Me'

Here's another Todd Edwards mix.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy-e7-INHG4-Todd is an amazing talent. He transformed this track from US Garage anthem to UK Garage anthem-nice work(this was the US garage version which I love as wellhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6z77yRxtmY the main part of the song begins about 1.50mins in and is very different from the TE version.

There was another group of Djs called the Dream Team who used to do great work as well but I'm not if they where UK based or not.

Not one day goes by where I wish I'd gone to Ayia Napa before & during the UK Garage explosion. Amazing music and there were some great vocalists including Elisabeth Troy & Robbie Craig. Some of my faves below:

Scrappy/Back Up To Me/Battle- Wookie
Summer of Love- Lonio
Imagine- Shola Ama (Asylum remix)
Please Don't Turn Me On/Something- Artful Dodger
Gunman- Dreem Team
Ripgroove- Double 99
Love Me Right- DJ Lewi
It's A London Thing- Scott Garcia
Sugar Is Sweeter- CJ Bolland (Van Helden remix)

Ah, those were the days...

Aound the late 90's was UK Garage at it's prime.

But I feel French House was better but again UK Garage has not really gone away it wen't in too the dance you here now.

Wow there's a lot of stuff there I must listen to! I never heard much of UK Garage in its prime, as I only listened to cheesy pop when I was a kid. I'd say some of it would do well in today's chart.

Ah yes, brings back memories of the Dreem Team on Radio 1 on Sunday mornings when hungover/coming down.

N.N.G feat Kallaghan anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VprqTA_DN54

This is the only recent song I think of which has garage elements

Redlight - Get Out Of My Head http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcCS_Bu-Pcw

I wish it made a full comeback though!
