2-Step is a form of UK Garage popular in the late 1990s. Originating in London, its sound is characterised by jittery, shuffling rhythms that rarely follow the four-to-the-floor pattern of similar genres, such as Drum and Bass, House and UK Garage itself, as well as its relatively slow pace that distances it from the typical club environment. While the genre is based primarily on the laid-back funk of the beat, the music is also heavily textured, with an emphasis on subtle melody, ambience and deep basslines. The use of emcees is also common, both on record and in live settings. Originators of the sound include MJ Cole and Wookie.
