Journey of Grime Pt.1 radio to internt radio

When grime started to make waves in the U.K the main medium for its outlet was pirate radio stations where Mcs and produces would play they tunes and rap of some beats, hitting listening within the radio range. The popularity of the music saw more stations pop up all over the U.K. "The emergence of grime is intrinsically connected to its origins on UK pirate radio, with many performers honing their skills and achieving underground success before approaching the mainstream". After this success these stations moved online in the form of internet radio, where the Djs and Mcs could interact with the listeners thought email and msn. Listeners could also watch the Djs and though a web cam set up on stations websites. This lead the way for other well known grime radio stations to go online too.

Underground Grime Scene

For this research project i plan to look at and document the growth and development of the Grime music scene though the internet.

wikipedia has a page on the grime scene where it talks about the origins and development of the music."Grime is a sub-genre of urban music which first emerged in London in the early 2000s, primarily a development of UK garage, drum and bass, dancehall and hip hop.[1] The music is typified by sparse and minimalist 2step breakbeats, generally around 130-140 beats per minute, and an aggressive and fast rapping style - often in double time"
