About Garage House
In New York and New Jersey during the 1980s, garage house developed alongside Chicago house as a house-rooted form of electronic dance music. Also called New York house or the New Jersey sound, it belongs to the same club-focused lineage as house rather than the later British styles that took its name in new directions. Garage house became popular in the United States in the 1980s, then in the United Kingdom during the 1990s. There, its legacy fed into UK garage and speed garage, which are related descendants rather than interchangeable names for the original sound.
