History

Garage house was developed in the Paradise Garage nightclub in New York City and Club Zanzibar in Newark, New Jersey, United States, during the early-to-mid 1980s. There was much overlap between it and early house music, making it difficult to tell the two apart.[7] It predates the development of Chicago house,[1] and according to All Music, is relatively closer to disco than other dance styles.[4] As Chicago house gained international popularity, New York's garage music scene was distinguished from the "house" umbrella.[4]

Dance music of the 1980s made use of

discothèque Paradise Garage where the influential DJ Larry Levan,[9]
known for his musical versatility and innovation, played records.

According to

David Cole of C+C Music Factory.[11][12]

The popularity of the genre in the UK gave birth to a derivative genre called UK garage.[6]
