Sammy Virji & Interplanetary Criminal Collab on Speed Garage Single, ‘Damager’

Sammy Virji and Interplanetary Criminal have teamed up to release their highly-anticipated speed garage single, “Damager.” This high-energy collaboration brings together two of the most exciting names in the UK garage scene. “Damager” is a testament to their shared vision of creating music that pays homage to the roots of garage and pushes the genre forward with innovative beats and infectious rhythms. “Damager” is out now via Astralwerks.

“Damager” is a club anthem characterized by its fast-paced tempo, bouncy basslines, and intricate drum patterns—all hallmarks of the speed garage sound. Sammy Virji and Interplanetary Criminal are each expertly known for fusing classic sounds with modern production techniques. They have captured the essence of the 90s UK garage sound while giving it a contemporary flair by chopping up vocal samples from US East Coast rapper Apathy’s 2000 song “Just Begun” to help create a catchy hook alongside the relentless energy of the bassline.

“Damager” highlights their common goal of introducing UK garage to a worldwide audience and gives it a new vitality that appeals to both music fans and clubgoers. In addition to delivering a dance-floor hit, Sammy Virji and Interplanetary Criminal highlight the ever-evolving development of the UK garage scene.
