Not sure if any of you have heard this but I gave it an upload to youtube ;)

 

 

old BBC Radio 1 documentary from 2003 exploring the emergence of 8-bar Grime and Dubstep from the UK Garage scene in London.

 

and what's better than a 17 year old Benga making a Grime beat on Playstation music 2000. "11:44" ahah fucking Classic!

 

very interesting listen.

 

also Art on the video by me! check my deviantART if you wish http://scifijackrabbit.deviantart.com/

Grime emerged from Bow, East London with its origins on UK pirate radio stations,[2] such as Rinse FM,[3] Deja Vu Fm, Freeze 92.7 & MajorFm.com were essential to the evolution of the genre. At this point the style was known by number of names, including "8-bar"(meaning 8 bar verse patterns), "Nu Shape" (which encouraged more complexed 16 bar and 32 bar verse patterns), "Sublow" (a reference to the very low bassline frequencies, often around 40 Hz[4]), as well as "Eskibeat", a term applied specifically to a style initially developed by Wiley and his collaborators, incorporating dance and electro elements. This indicated the movement of UK Garage away from its House influences towards darker themes and sounds. Among the first tracks to be labelled "Grime" as a genre in itself were 'Eskimo' by Wiley and "Pulse X" by Musical Mob.[5]

 

So it's like a meta-sub-sub-genre.
