I like to think that this resurgence is happening due to people my age who grew up listening to Garage and 2-Step are now realising that they miss those sounds that got buried too quickly by Speed Garage, Bassline and early Dubstep and wan't to recreate it with their own contemporary feel.
For me as a drummer I absolutely love the skip and shuffle beats that Garage songs are built upon, 'Future Garage's' fundamental similarity to the 'Old Skool' sound is exactly this.
The beats are well structured bouncy and drive the songs along, here's an example of this new sound...
As you can hear the similarity lies in the beat and vocal arrangement style, but the major difference is the more chilled out(in my opinion) synth's and less immediate bass sounds.
Now I love the 'old skool' sound but would there be much point in simply re-creating those sounds?
I believe that this will be the next big shift in underground music when people tire of Dubstep's day by day throwaway progression....
You ought to check out the following artists pioneering these sounds..

Here are a couple of mixes to listen to, to help introduce you to the these 'Future' sounds, The one from myself fuses the similarity between old and new I hope you enjoy!
