2007 is the 10th year of UK Garage. Did you know that?
And no other form of British dance music has been as successful or controversial.

The genre's been on a journey from artists winning Mercury Awards to being blamed for glamourising guns.

1Xtra's Richie Vibe Vee tells the stories behind the beats and charts UKG's history.

From the ones who set the foundation like The Dreem Team, Tuff Jam, MJ Cole to Kano, Lethal Bizzle and others taking UKG forward.
Is UKG still on top of its game? Or is it dying a death? Have UKG artists given the genre a bad name? Or is it more than that?
