What BPM Is UK Garage?

UK garage usually sits around 130 BPM. 2-step is often between 130 and 138.

Swing and a missing kick

UK garage runs on swing. In 2-step the kick doesn't land on every beat: a few are left out on purpose, and that gives it that skippy feel.

So tap along to the snare or hi-hat instead of the kick. That makes the tempo easier to find.
