UK Garage is in the middle of a revival, with a new generation turning it into something built for today’s dancefloors. In a scene full of nostalgia and trend-chasing, these five producers are carving out their own space; pushing the sound forward while staying true to its roots. Each brings their own identity to the UKG resurgence.
These are the household names of tomorrow.
Silva Bumpa
Sheffield’s own Silva Bumpa is reviving UKG, bassline, and speed garage with innovative samples, sliding organs, and warped vocals. His Lockedit EP “What About The DJ?” on Locked On, with gems like "Without U" featuring Megan Wroe and "Songs of Praise" with Capo Lee, captured that mid-’00s bounce while feeling fresh. Backed by a Rinse FM residency and Boiler Room, he’s now selling out tours across Europe, Australia, and NZ, all while staying rooted in Sheffield’s pulsing bassline legacy.

His breakout singles like “Whine Up” and 2024’s “Want Me” showcase raw energy, built for the dancefloor. With radio plays on Rinse FM and support from Interplanetary Criminal, Joy Orbison, and Sammy Virji, he’s quickly becoming a staple of the underground scene. His 2025 single “Side2Side” on Insomniac’s IN / ROTATION imprint confirmed his international potential. High energy, genre-bending, and built for big rooms.

16 year old Ashdunn’s productions capture the essence of modern 4x4 and UK Garage.

Ragga Twins) further showcased his balance of old-school inspiration and forward thinking sounds. Supported by the Garage Shared community, Ashdunn’s emotive grooves and hard hitting basslines mark him as a producer that no doubt will be a key part of the genre’s future.
