Future garage is a genre of electronic music that incorporates a variety of influences from UK garage and softer elements from 2-step garage, leading to an off-kilter rhythmic style. Characteristic sounds are pitched vocal chops, warm filtered reese basses, dark atmospheres (including synth pads, field recordings and other atmospheric sounds) and vinyl crackle. The tempo usually ranges from 130 to 140 bpm, but can also be slower or faster.{{cite news | url = https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/aug/13/herve-electronic-music-genres-moombahton | date = 13 August 2011 | access-date = 13 June 2016 | author = Hervé | newspaper = The Guardian | location = London | title = Moombahton, Nu-Jungle, Future Garage?

In Issue 108 of MusicTech Magazine from March 2013,MusicTech Magazine, Anthem Publishing, issue 108, March 2012 it was suggested that future garage should employ re-pitched vocals, soft leads with a round attack or an acoustic lead, subbass or a square wave bass with a modulating filter, and a four-to-the-floor or 2-step garage drum beat with off-the-grid hi-hats. The distinct swing in future garage drum beats is the focus on "late" or humanized hi-hats between the kick and snare patterns.
