Rinse FM
London pirate station, founded by Geeneus and Slimzee
Rinse started as a pirate station in East London and became the home of garage, grime and dubstep before getting a licence in 2010. MCs built their names on its sets.
Still heard: London's underground, from grime to drill, grew on pirate radio.
