What I discovered after tracing the old and new UK Garages was that the instruments had been replaced.
Just as music changed in the 1980s when rhythm machines and cheap synths became popular, 99% of the sounds I hear have been replaced by soft synths.
The remaining 1% is hardware synths and live instruments.

The roots of the music now known as "garage" were established in America in the late 70's and 80's.
It started when DJs played a fusion of various genres such as pop-rock, disco, early hip-hop, and soul.
This eclectic mix, played at the LGBT club Paradise Garage, quickly became known as "garage music."
DJ Todd Edwards chopped up vocal samples and remixed them into catchy choruses, honing his garage sound and making it popular in North London in the early 90s.
In British clubs, DJs began playing pitched up mixes of American vocal tracks during after-hours, and local MCs, who had already adopted the technique in the jungle scene, jumped on board. . Early on, this movement was known as the 'Sunday scene' (such as the Sunday Sessions held by drum and bass label Metalheads at the Blue Note in Hoxton). This is because the big clubs were not willing to hold garage events on days of the week that had a high attendance rate.
At the time, it was expensive to import records from America, so British producers began producing their own garage records with a distinctive UK sound and releasing them on labels like Nice'N'Ripe and Swing City. is the origin of UK garage.
The Gas Club started Spread The Love Project on a Sunday in 1993.
The Elephant & Castle pub was also known for hosting UK Garage events, allowing patrons who had flown in from the Ministry of Sound on Sundays to soak up the afterglow until alcohol sales resumed. It was being done. DJs use pitch control to increase the tempo (speed garage), and use it to appeal to office workers, rude boys, Ministry of Sound doormen, soccer players, TV stars, and their friends. It was played on a dance floor filled with people. Wearing flashy two-piece suits and leather pants, they looked like they were spending a lot of money as they drank champagne. People who were into UK garage around the 2000s were dressing up for the weekend.
Throughout 1996 and 1997, drum and bass producers continued to weave garage with UK flair, creating two-step beats on top of the speed garage that had come before. The novelty of the sound didn't last long, as many people jumped on those compilations. Around 1998, UK Garage was frequently played on the FM broadcasts of pirate radio stations such as Rinse FM and Deja Vu. FM DJs were playing records and setting up antennas on skyscrapers around London, spreading UK garage music throughout the city. Before long, I could hear the roar of UK garage music coming from passing cars.
In the early 2000s, UK Garage entered the charts and was even played on BBC terrestrial radio. In the 1990s and 2000s, UK garage underwent a rapid evolution, with harder breakbeats and darker tones being incorporated into grime and dubstep. The 2010s saw a resurgence in UK garage's popularity, with the release of new music by well-known producers and the emergence of many new artists. This is common in UK bass music. Post-lockdown, a new type of UK garage has also emerged, spreading the unique sound of UK garage to the next generation.

Back to the first Future Garage Mix.
I've been playing it for about 3 loops today, and I'm drawn in every time.
It's the opposite of a pop sound, with simple signals that don't repeat,
The complex sound textures and natural spatial fluctuations created by Reverb etc. are pleasant. The bass sound design is the same as DnB, and I like the LoFi feel of Beat and the texture of LoFi Hiphop, both of which I love.
So, how do I create a distinctive Pad sound?
I want to use natural sounds, and I want them to travel moment by moment, as if zapping the time axis.
In other words, granular.
Now, I want to add a more sizzle-like sound directly or increase it with effects.
