UPCOMING EVENT: How to Run a Grime Radio Station / Fore Street Living Room Library / Friday 3rd November 6.30-8.30PM — Jade introduces the podcast followed by a talk and Q&A with Mode London. Details on Eventbrite here.
----
It's probably the British underground musical genre that has achieved the most mainstream recognition over the years. Grime - it was made originally in bedrooms, swapped on cassette tapes, nodded to at raves, and cultivated at pirate radio stations. In Edmonton, North London, one radio station named Axe FM took off with teens due to its availability on the internet, streaming grime in video and audio as early as 2003 and eventually going off-air in the 2010s.
Key individuals involved with Axe FM shaped grime as well as genres like garage and UK Funky. This episode explores Edmonton's impact on grime, and in turn, Britain's musical culture, in the 2000s.
This episode was made possible by funding from the Lottery Heritage Fund administered by Enfield Council
