This set was recorded in 2006. The mid-2000s can be considered a vacuum era for UK garage. Having reached a commercial high point (or low point, depending on your view!) in 2001, numerous DJs, vocalists and promoters peeled away from the garage sound to focus on funky house, grime and / or dubstep projects. Pirate radio followed this trend, with huge amounts of airtime previously occupied by garage instead being dedicated to other styles. Some stalwart radio DJs stayed faithful to 1990s garage, even if the classics – still being played on vinyl, live on radio – weren't yet old enough to class as 'old school garage'. Keeping the fire burning in this way included DJs (Buzzhard and Slippz with their breakfast shows, 3Base, Doubles, Reaper and Jay Steppa to name but a few), producers (such as Duncan Powell, DJ Ski, Qualifide and Delinquent to name but a few), labels hanging on (such as Public Demand, Locked On and Social Circles) and FM stations (such as Raw Flex 103.6, Shine 87.9, Touch 94.0, Déja Vu 92.3 and Rinse 100.3 FM). Internet streaming was still gaining a footing and pirate radio was still alive and well over Greater London: house, garage and drum and bass stations were matched in number by reggae / ragga / dancehall stations and community radio stations catering to the Afro Caribbean community with music, worship and advertising. Inside the ride, every studio setup still had both turntables and CD decks, being used in about equal measure until mp3s and CDs took over more comprehensively from about 2010 onwards.
This is one of only a handful of all-vinyl sets performed by Edi Drums on Raw Flex FM before he moved to Touch 94.0 FM, the 'naughty nine-forty', late in 2006.

By 2006 UK Garage had now branched off into many subgenera with emergence of new scenes like Grime, Dubstep and UK Funky.
