== Resurgence in the 2020s ==
In the early 2020s, speed garage experienced a notable resurgence within the UK music scene. This revival was marked by a renewed interest in the genre's distinctive basslines and energetic rhythms, leading to a fresh wave of productions and chart successes.

A pivotal moment in this revival was the release of "[[B.O.T.A. (Baddest of Them All)]]" by Interplanetary Criminal and Eliza Rose in the summer of 2022. The track, featuring a Korg M1 organ bassline characteristic of speed garage, achieved the number one spot on the [[UK Singles Chart]], underscoring the genre's renewed popularity.<ref name="mixmag">{{Cite web|url=https://mixmag.net/feature/speed-garage-bassline-trend-popularity-north-sheffield-bota |title=How Speed Garage Returned as a Club Staple |date=2022-09-20 |work=Mixmag}}</ref>

Interplanetary Criminal, a Manchester-based producer, has been instrumental in this resurgence. His work blends traditional speed garage elements with contemporary sounds, appealing to both longtime fans and new listeners. In April 2020, he released "Pride (Speed Garage Mix)", which showcased his commitment to revitalising the genre.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://interplanetarycriminal.bandcamp.com/track/pride-speed-garage-mix |title=Pride (Speed Garage Mix) |work=Bandcamp}}</ref>

Collaborations have also played a significant role in the genre's revival. In November 2024, Interplanetary Criminal teamed up with [[Sammy Virji]] to release "Damager", a track that fuses speed garage with donk influences, further highlighting the genre's evolving sound.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://djmag.com/news/sammy-virji-and-interplanetary-criminal-link-new-speed-garage-single-damager-listen |title=Sammy Virji and Interplanetary Criminal Link Up for New Speed Garage Single 'Damager' |work=DJ Mag}}</ref>

The resurgence has been evident in clubs, festivals, and charts, indicating a vibrant and enduring appreciation for speed garage in contemporary music culture.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.beatportal.com/articles/433891-how-uk-garage-conquered-2021 |title=How UK Garage Conquered 2021 |work=Beatportal}}</ref>
