2-step is a subgenre of UK garage music that emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Characterized by its syncopated rhythms, shuffled beats, and use of syncopated drum patterns, 2-step music is known for its infectious grooves and danceable melodies. The genre often features soulful vocals, catchy hooks, and a mix of electronic and organic instrumentation, creating a unique and dynamic sound that blends elements of house, R&B, and jungle music. Popularized by artists like Artful Dodger, MJ Cole, and Craig David, 2-step music has had a lasting influence on the UK music scene and continues to be a staple in clubs and festivals around the world.
