From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rinse FM is a popular underground radio station broadcasting to London and worldwide via the internet, specialising in grime, dubstep, UK garage and other new and upcoming underground music genres. Founded in 1994,[1] it provided the first exposure to Dizzee Rascal and Wiley[2] and later provided a home for dubstep DJs like Skream, Kode9, and Youngsta.[3] Simon Hampson wrote in 2007: "Without Rinse, Grime and Dubstep would be very different: indeed, it’s fair to say that they might not even exist at all."[3] The station has been described as London's biggest pirate radio station[3][4] and "without doubt the world's leading grime station."[2] Rinse began broadcasting on the internet in 2006, and the station is seeking a legal FM license.[4] The station's focus (like that of London's urban music scene in general[5]) shifted toward Funky House in 2006-2007.[3] DJ Geeneus is the station's head.[3][6]
