“It was hugely inspiring. I’d go to clubs, then come back to the studio with my ears ringing and try to recreate what I had heard there,” says UK garage producer and DJ Matt Coleman, better known as MJ Cole.
Emerging from late-'90s underground dance music, MJ Cole was a driving force behind the sounds of 2-step and UK garage, a scene that would lead to grime and dubstep while his breakthrough track, Sincere, scraped the top 40 on its initial release back in 1998 before becoming a genre-defining UKG classic.
