    We consider UK garage and 2-step siblings ala breakbeat and nu skool breaks.
    They are very similiar but not always the same. Perhaps all UK garage is
    2-step but not all 2-step is UK garage?....anyway for us the more commercial
    sounding tracks are UK garage (DJ Pied Piper, Oxide & Neutrino, etc) but
    things like the Zed Bias remix of 2 Banks Of 4 is just 2-step. Completely
    arbitrary and subjective but it seems to be clear to most of the stores we
    deal with...I think...

    And while we're on the subject of names, is 2-step the same as U.K.
    garage?

    In any event, I have a few listeners who are requesting such music, but
    we are not exactly well-equipped here in town with such things. I hope
    to change all that in due time, but I am feeling Landslide, Bugz, IG,
    and others quite nicely.
