Its artists and releases took the scene in a darker, more jungle-inspired direction.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva\">As a label it was definitely key in bringing in new listeners who up until that point found garage music too \u2018fluffy\u2019.\u201d Richie Vibe Vee<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva\">Richie will be looking at the iconic Confetti label. It started in the early 90s and helped to pioneer and catapult artists from the garage scene to a different level.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva\">These include Anthill Mob with their smash \u2018Burnin\u2019 and \u2018You Should Have Known\u2019, as well as legendary Ray Hurley \u2018Just Yourself\u2019.
