Garage house (originally known as "garage"; [2] local terms include "New York house" [3] and New Jersey sound) is a dance music style [4] that was developed alongside Chicago house music. [5] The genre was popular in the 1980s in the United States and the 1990s in the United Kingdom, where it developed into UK garage and speed garage .
The music is often purely instrumental, but vocal techniques common in other styles of garage can also be present, such as female R&B vocals sped up to match the faster tempo, and also samples of vocals from grime tracks. [1] Most songs are around 135 to 142 bpm, faster than most UK garage and around the same tempo as most grime and dubstep.
