Future Garage is a dark style of UK Garage, having emerged in the late 2010s. It is a subgenre of UK Garage.

Characteristics[]

Future Garage is characterized by a dark atmosphere, soft and warm pads, deep basslines and percussion, vocal samples, warm synth pads and plucks, and broken rhythms. However, he can include basslines from Dubstep, like his wobbly basses. It's a genre that explores the urban and futuristic, as well as emotions such as loneliness, sadness, and depression. What confirms these emotions is the music of this genre that certain labels publish, such as Fluidified, where videos of Future Garage music often have an urban or countryside landscape playing on shades of gray and a misty aspect.
