You might never have heard of ‘speed garage’, but you’ve definitely heard it if you’ve been on a dancefloor in the past year. Interplanetary Criminal has been leading the charge for UK garage’s ‘speedier, rowdier’ nephew, which is injecting a dose of fun back into club culture in 2025. You might recognise his name for his collaboration with Eliza Rose on their breakthrough hit B.O.T.A., but the Manchester producer has been repping the up-tempo, upbeat sound of North West England for several years now. If you like your dance music fresh, fun, uncomplicated and innovative, don’t miss his debut at Sónar by Night.
