TJR

TJR is comprised of Matt “Jam” Lamont and Karl “Tuff Enuff” Brown. Also known as Tuff Jam, the DJ/production duo are pretty much the founding fathers of UK Garage and are known as having a “pivotal involvement in the development of the UK underground Garage scene”. Together in 2001 they were responsible for formulating a ground-breaking UK Dance style mix for successful British trio group Mis-Teeq, leading to a debut Top 10 chart hit with ‘Why’. As an example of production versatility, the innovative remix helped Mis-Teeq to obtain an album deal on the back of the single. The duo have also reworked the likes of Artful Dodger, Damage, Mary J Blige, Liberty X and club floor filler from Daniel Bedingfield, ‘Gotta Get Thru This’, amongst many others. They still continue to release music and run their own labels. ‘Just Gets Better’ feat. Xavier – is the ultimate Garage classic and has been heralded as one of the all-time best by the likes Todd Edwards, DJ Mag, DAZED and Red Bull to name a few. The track peaked in the UK charts in 1997 at #28 and has since gone down in the Garage history books.
