Late-‘90s UK garage has a faithful ambassador in MJ Cole. His 1998 single “Sincere” embodies all the genre's strengths: flickering keys, skipping groove, hiccupping vocal accents. His catalogue is full of similarly ebullient club-pop crossovers, like his bubbly Amy Winehouse remix, or “Never Say Never”, a nimble, soulful tune splashed with acoustic bass and Rhodes keys. Over the years, he's kept garage alive by refusing to stand still: “From the Drop”, a 2010 Wiley collab, and 2017's “The Rumble”, with AJ Tracey, both flip the vibe into something dark and menacing, yet equally elastic.
