Welcome to NUKG Monthly, a monthly column covering the UK garage and club music scene. Written by journalist Nathan Evans, it offers a portal into a world that is pulsating with creativity and innovation, yet still teetering on the edges of mainstream coverage.

Each month, NUKG Monthly serves up a meticulously-curated selection of the tracks, EPs, albums, mixes, bootlegs, and remixes that catch Nathan’s ear and are defining the sonic landscape of the new school of UKG, or “NUKG”. It’s not just about the big names; it also celebrates the under-the-radar artists and the undiscovered gems that are adding fresh flavours and pushing the boundaries of this vibrant genre.

With exclusive interviews and in-depth scene reports, NUKG Monthly offers an inside look at the artists, the culture, and the stories unfolding behind the decks and beyond the dance floor. It digs deep where others don't, providing context and perspective on a scene that is teeming with passion. And of course, each month has the all-important “Speed Garage Bootleg of the Month”, which typically goes to edits that put a twist on an underrated gem, makes you listen to it in a completely different way, or simply rocks the speakers the hardest.

Discover the unknown, celebrate the iconic, and delve into the pulsating heart of UK garage music – right here at NUKG Monthly.
