Grime for the Unconverted
[Repeated from Thursday 11pm.] Presented and mixed by DJ BPM, showcasing Grime classics, unreleased promos and new releases. This week: we kick off the new season with the tables being turned on host DJ BPM who is interviewed by guest host George Powell who aims to bring the essence of late night phone-ins and grime together. Guests include DJ and MC brother duo Jefe and 140 aka Microphone Man, as well as MCs Miz, Razor, MIC and Karnage Kills. We discuss inclusivity, gatekeeping and platforming, which apply to all industries, as well as the perceived aggression in grime, which is often a preconception that prevents many people from listening to what MCs and producers want to say, and stops people succumbing to the infectious energy and creative storytelling inherent in the genre.
