Jamz and Spoony get their 2 step ready as they travel to the iconic event Twice As Nice and board to a flight to UK Garage’s international home Aiya Napa.

Jamz and Spoony take to the international dancefloor as they find out what made UKG events like no other.
Spotting rap royalty Jay Z, dancing with actor Wesley Snipes or even hearing a DJ mix from football legend David Beckham were just some of the many things that happened at the iconic Twice as Nice South London event.
The UK Garage crowd were famously dressed up to the nines. So Jamz and Spoony find out what made the garage look and Spoony’s brown leather pants so legendary.
Make sure to book your flights as we discover how the sounds of UKG took thousands of ravers abroad and transformed the small fishing resort of Ayia Napa into its International home
