Artful Dodger return as Original Dodger
After 15 years, the original UKG pioneers are back
Mark Hill and Pete Devereux were the original duo to use the UK garage moniker Artful Dodger back in the 1990s, but after a split in 2001, they’re now back together as Original Dodger.
Hailing from Southampton, the duo were responsible for bringing garage music into the mainstream with timeless hits under their belts such as ‘Re-Rewind’, ‘Movin’ Too Fast’, ‘Please Don’t Turn Me On’ and ‘Woman Trouble’.
With artists like Craig David, The Streets, and Jack Garratt naming them as influences, the duo’s impact was undeniably massive on the UK scene.
Due to legal issues, the pair have undergone a name change and are launching back into the scene headfirst with a new batch of music entitled ‘Soundtrack’. The 11-track release features the likes of Nadia Rose, Prez T, Big Narstie, Donae’o, Nat Slater, Shakka and P Money.
