Fronted up by Bristol-based producer and DJ Shosh, 24hr Garage Girls is an ever-growing collective of female garage DJs and devotees, consistently delivering high energy sets throughout the UK. 
Set to play the famous Eastern Electrics Festival this August, we caught up with head honey Shosh and spoke about the collective’s influences, the slow but steady shift in the gender divide within electronic music & what we can expect from them in the future…
Describe the collective – who are you, where are you from? how did you meet?
So I would call the 24hr Garage Girls a ‘concept group’, in the sense that we host parties, events and live shows as Garage Girl personalities on stage. Our role is to bring that UK Garage vibe to everything we do; glamour, style and pure lovin’ vibes! I created the brand back in Brighton, with some of the original members, but since moving to Bristol I’ve also become the main DJ/Producer and Manager for the team. I’ve been recruiting new crew from here ever since!

Who are your influences? How do you draw inspiration for your sets?

We have so many influences….UKG has such a rich history from the cheese to downright dirty! As a female producer/DJ myself I would have to tag Flava D as a modern influence. She holds herself well in a very male-dominated scene and has a lot of integrity as a UK Garage producer. Thinking about the Garage Girls brand though, I would say a major influence for our style is the Kurupt fm gang…. We seez ya  Grindah!

You’re an all-female collective in a predominantly male industry, how important is it to get women involved and represented behind the decks?

It’s very important… and it’s happening now! We’re seeing more emerging talent on the decks than ever before and Garage Girls is a great platform to showcase this. We’ve brought artists such as A-Bee, Tino, Coxon and Chef-Bozwan to the decks at UK festivals this year, and we look forward to seeing more women step up to the stage in future!
You’re based in Bristol, a city known for its love of bass music – what locals should we be keeping an eye on why? Any particular pioneers/killers in the scene you’d like to mention?
OK, so Cellardore is an excellent UK Garage/Bass producer I work with regularly. He’s been involved in multiple New Garage projects as well as 24hr Garage Girls and I highly rate his musical ear… he does all my mastering so..! My Nu Leng and Bushbaby are also based in Bristol….I feel very lucky to be a part of whats happening here.

There are certain genres that stand the test of time and Garage seems to be one of them, why do you think this is?

This is such a popular question at the moment and I think we all know the answer! UK Garage has great energy… it’s sexy and fun and has so much attitude. My generation grew up to the sing-along classics, but now we have this amazing blend of old-skool meets modern production, richer bass sounds and dance structures that work in the clubs.

So you’re playing at Eastern Electrics festival in August, what can we expect from you ladies on the night?

Well, unfortunately, it’s only me playing… But don’t worry I’ll still bring the Garage Girl vibes to Eastern Electrics! I love variety, so you can expect a bit of old-school, some bassline, bass house and cheesy 90’s remix anthems… all in the mix & blend <3

Do you have any ‘must play’ tunes that you rinse out religiously? What’s your favourite garage/bassline track at the moment/ of all time?

Hmmm! Well I’m a fairly new producer and totally in love with Ableton, so I will always play fresh tracks I’m feeling good about;Rinse & Repeat and Light it Up are 2 recent releases I drop every weekend. I will always drop a cheesy Foor anthem or Mikey B banger too 🙂 I couldn’t possibly chose a favourite track of all time! (sorry!)

Finally, what’s in the pipeline for 2018? Can we expect any more releases?

Yes, I’m currently working on a 4-track solo EP, which I’m hoping to release at the end of summer. Also, a UK tour for me and the Garage Girls is in the works… we’ll be announcing full dates just before our VIP Boat Party at Outlook Festival 2018!

Thanks so much, Shosh! You can keep up to date with the 24hr Garage Girls here.

  • It’s difficult for us to introduce anything 2020 related with any sort of positivity, but just for a moment, lets forget about all the struggle and strive of the past year, and take some time to reflect on some of the finest drum and bass music the past 12 months has had to offer. 
.
Speaking on behalf of the entire In-Reach.co.uk crew, we are delighted to share with you our round up of the wonderful tracks released in 2020, that we feel have stuck the middle finger up to this insufferable year!

  • DJ Trace’s first ever release was back in 1991 - 30 years later and he
  • @symmetryrecordings kick things off in 2021 with a 4-track EP from DSP, with his Fake Worlds EP. 
.
To celebrate the release, DSP has recorded a meaty 1 hour mix that showcases his ability behind the decks. With sneaky double drops and tight blends, the mix consists of highlight tracks from the last year or two, forthcoming freshness (including, of course, some tracks from the EP) and some classics thrown in for good measure.

  • @temporec present their new next release from the legendary @source_direct - SPEED is a new Tempo Records sublabel & project released on a limited collectors hand numbered 180gram coloured picture disc vinyl with original & legendary producers who helped shaping the Drum & Bass scene.

Source Direct, along with Goldie, Photek, Peshay and Wax Doctor, one of a handful of stand-out artists who were signed to major labels in the wake of Jungle’s/Drum and Bass
  • This upload is an important one for us here at In-Reach, not only because we’ve got the opportunity to debut music from a label that we collectively respect so greatly, but also because it presents the music of one of the scene’s most talented, and most sorely missed representatives: the late Andy Skopes. This release sees the breakbeat assassin go slightly of course from his usual dark jungle style to team up with the ever-wonderful, and equally prolific Madcap in a luscious, but oh-so dangerous trio of tracks. These tunes are brimming with emotion, which stems both from the posthumous nature of their release, as well as the sheer elegance and tranquility of the music. We send our salutes to both Andy and Elliot on this release, which is a wonderful reminder of how, through their music, an artists soul can live forever ♥️
