History

After the collapse of disco music in the late 1970s, dance music became overwhelmed with synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines. Therefore these said musical instruments were and are an essential part of garage music.[6] The direction of garage house was primarily influenced by the New York-based discothèque Paradise Garage where the influential DJ Larry Levan played records.[3]

Characteristics

In comparsion to house music, garage has more polished attributes, including gospel-influenced piano riffs and female vocals.[5]

The genre was popular in the 1980s in the U.S. and 1990s in the United Kingdom. Popularity of the genre in the UK gave birth to UK garage, a British variant of garage house.[5]
