Speed garage
Speed garage (occasionally known as Plus-8) is a genre of electronic dance music, associated with the UK garage scene.
Characteristics
Speed garage features sped-up NY garage 4-to-the-floor rhythms that are combined with breakbeats.Snares are placed as over the 2nd and the 4th kickdrums, so in other places of the drum pattern. Speed garage tunes have warped, heavy basslines, influenced by jungle and reggae. Sweeping bass is typical for speed garage. It is also typical for speed garage tunes to have a breakdown. Speed garage tunes sometimes featured timestretched vocals. As being heavily influenced by jungle, speed garage is full of jungle and dub sound effects, such as gunshots and sirens.
A widely regarded pioneer of the speed garage sound is record producer, DJ and remixer Armand Van Helden, whose Dark Garage remix of the Sneaker Pimps' "Spin Spin Sugar" in 1996 is viewed by many to have brought the style of speed garage into the mainstream arena.

Dear Colleague,
I am so very sorry that my son has made such an exhibition of himself with your daughter. It really does seem quite out of character for him, although I have to admit that he’s always been a funny boy. Of course, he’s really got into trouble with the Supervisors, but I’m afraid he’s only got himself to blame.
I’ve been worrying myself silly, as I’m sure you’ll understand. I just wanted to send you a short communication to apologise and I can assure you that it will not happen again.
Judge 444:
This court recognises the findings of the Inner Bureau of Medical Affairs, in that there is clearly a need for emotional decontamination and mental correction. We therefore assign the subject to emotional decontamination centre Zero Zero or System six zero five, until such time as this affliction has been completely subdued.
Mother 210:
I don’t understand why she’d want to go up there in the first place. I mean, why bother getting involved? She’s some sort of scientist isn’t she? I suppose that’s the reason.
Why won’t they let him come out? He’s not a criminal, is he? Anyone would think he was some kind of specimen.
