TAKEN FROM WELCOME TO THE FOLD Logan Sama’s Chosen Ones set on the 26th February was, like stumbling across an oasis in the desert, a welcome and much needed surprise for thirsty Grime Fans. Two months after Kiss FM’s decision to cut all specialist DJ’s slots by an hour (including Logan’s) Grime is still feeling the effect, and despite recent mainstream successes from Wiley, Tinie Tempah and Dizzee, they have done little to ease MC’s, DJ’s and fans concerns that through mainstream neglect, the scene will peter out.
So here's part 2 of this monster of an interview with Elijah & Skilliam (I don't mean that in a negative way, just with reference to the length). In this part of the interview we talked about fall and rise of the importance of radio sets, their blog, negitive press related to grime and their plans for the future.
If you follow grime, you will know that there are a few key vehicles for the fruits of grime's labour to be pushed through. There's the online TV channels like SBTV, dontwatchthat and Grime Daily. Regular grime raves (they don't happen too often London because of the negative press though). Then there is the ever powerful medium of pirate radio. Elijah and Skilliam (a.k.a. Butterz) have taken over the later with a tremendous force since they started playing regularly on Rinse FM two years ago, they have probably the most influential grime blog around and have just started their own label.
