Grindie is a hybrid form of music that emerged in London in early 2006. It combines influences from grime, a beat-driven form of hip hop that arose in East London, with indie rock. Notable pioneers in the genre include Marvin The Martian, Hadouken!, Lethal Bizzle, and Statik, who has worked with musicians including Pete Doherty and Larrikin Love, as well as The Futureheads' collaboration with The Streets and The Ordinary Boys' collaboration with Lady Sovereign. The musical hybridization developed from mixtapes that combined indie guitar riffs and melodies, with grime-style beats and indie lyrics, often emceed by a grime artist. The first known "Grindie" release was a song by Marvin The Martian and his group Why Lout? sampling Art Brut's Summer 2005 single 'Emily Kane' to make a song called 'Stay Off The Kane' which was released as a free download through Artrocker and was downloaded over 30,000+ times within 2 months.
