Jake Lang Drops Explosive New Single “Why Can’t We..” on Jeremy Sylvester’s Garage Paradise
UK Garage’s rising star Jake Lang steps up with his latest single “Why Can’t We..”, a heavyweight 4x4 roller landing on none other than Jeremy Sylvester’s Garage Paradise imprint. At just 19 years old, Lang is proving himself as one of the most exciting young names pushing the new wave of UKG.
Born in Manchester but now based in Croydon to immerse himself fully in the South London garage movement, Jake has been DJing for seven years and producing for six, honing a sound that’s unapologetically bumpy, bass-heavy, and 4x4 to the core. Drawing inspiration from UKG pioneers such as Tuff Jam, Harry Luda, Jeremy Sylvester, and Highrise, Lang’s productions pay homage to the roots while injecting fresh energy into the dancefloor.
“Why Can’t We..” is a no-nonsense club cut—skippy percussion, punchy basslines, and hypnotic vocal chops—that embodies the essence of the UK Garage underground. Perfectly at home in a late-night set or on pirate airwaves, the track captures Jake’s trademark style: rough, rolling, and impossible to stand still to.
Jake is no stranger to the scene, already racking up an impressive catalogue of releases. He’s dropped a vinyl-exclusive 4-track EP on Amigo Dubs, a 2-track dubplate on Dat Loud Recordings, and digital cuts on respected imprints including Movin On, In The Dub, and Under Attack Records. With support steadily building across the UKG community, his debut on Garage Paradise marks a major milestone and a clear signal of bigger things to come.
“Why Can’t We..” is out now on Garage Paradise. Expect to hear it tearing through raves and radio sets across the UK and beyond.
