Keep it Garage – Fundraiser edition
Phibonaci has been hosting UK Garage Sale at The Keep in Lowell, MA now for over a year. Due to COVID19, The Keep was mandated to shut down bar and dining service. Many employees were laid off and have no source of income. As a new business, they are at risk of losing the past two years of hard work that has helped their establishment grow.
How does this relate to you? The folks at The Keep have welcomed the electronic music community into their business and have allowed me to host the only monthly UK garage night in the New England area. Their support has enabled me to consistently pay the DJs and myself and they have contributed to the efforts of building a larger UK garage community on this side of the pond. Also, they are really great people that own a classy business with amazing food, great whiskey and craft beers.
So what are we doing about it? Next weekend, April 10th – 12th, 2020, Phi and Robot Haus are live streaming garage DJs to raise money to help The Keep stay in business! Then we can all continue to have great food, drinks, people, and garage!
More info will be out soon with links for listening and donating.

Opinion: UK Garage is the best genre ever
This isn’t even a debate
Patrick Hinton – Mixmag.com
There’s an inclination among the human race to muse on difficult questions. What’s the meaning of life? Would you rather? Should I go out for the third night in a row despite being four figures overdrawn and bordering on coma-levels of tiredness? All are the subject of deep thought.
In the underground dance scene this urge translates into a toss-up between the two leading genres. Pick one: house or techno? They’re the most popular styles, and there’s a weighty crossover in the fan bases. It’s a query that can be posed absentmindedly and then spiral out into a brain wracking analysis that has discussers looking like Charlie Kelly.
House is uplifting, soulful, but techno is gritty, powerful, and each can be left feeling lacklustre or overbearing in comparison, depending on your varying mood. Committing absolutely to one and sacrificing the other for eternity is tough. If this is a question that has ever plagued your consciousness then have no fear because I’ve solved it. Don’t worry, it’s not tech-house, which is neither here nor there. The answer to deciding your favourite in the near-existential question of “house or techno?” is: UK garage, which is actually the best genre ever.
