Known by most as the Godfather of Grime, Wiley derived from the late 90s garage scene as part of the legendary Pay As U Go crew, before forging the grime sound through a series of highly influential ‘eskibeat’ instrumentals on white label vinyl. He rose to fame in the early ‘00s as an mc, producer and member of seminal grime-collective Roll Deep. The rest is history, for fifteen years Wiley has been at the forefront of one of the most successful genres in recent UK history.
As co-founder of influential radio station Rinse FM, Slimzee influenced an entire generation with his revolutionary radio shows, championing various strands of bass-heavy music - most notably grime – a sound that he had a huge hand in developing throughout the early ‘00s alongside Wiley, Geeneus & more.
As if that wasn’t enough, Night Slugs’ head honcho Bok Bok rounds off this special line-up.
