![]() This indicated the movement of UK garage away from its house influences towards darker themes and sounds. Īt this point, the style was known by a number of names, including 8-bar (meaning eight-bar verse patterns), nu shape (which encouraged more complex 16-bar and 32-bar verse patterns), sublow (a music style and movement created by Jon E Cash with Dread D (T Williams) and crew "The Black Ops", the name sublow being a reference to the very low bassline frequencies, often around 40 Hz) and eskibeat, a term applied specifically to a style initially developed by Wiley and his collaborators, incorporating dance and electro elements. Initially, some referred to the genre as 'grimey garage'. It has also been suggested by artists themselves that the term fits as the music frequently talks about "grimy goings-on" in deprived areas. The name "grime" was coined by journalists who initially termed the music's sub-bass heavy sound as "grimy", which subsequently became "grime". And they don't know why" to Spin magazine in 2005. Everyone's so angry at the world and each other. Wiley explained this colder, darker sound, reflected his mental state at the time, stating "The music reflects what's going on in society. His song "Eskimo" was characterised by its sparse and cold production, and "awkward, off-kilter rhythms". Wiley at the timed dubbed the sound 'eskibeat' rather than "grime", which had yet to gain popular usage. Other tracks that were among the first to be labelled as "grime" include "Ice Rink" and "Igloo" by Wiley, "Creeper" by Danny Weed, and "Dollar Sign" by Sticky featuring Stush. ![]() DJ Slimzee and DJ Karnage have also suggested "Year 2000" (released 2000) by Wiley as a contender. Dizzee Rascal personally claimed his song "Crime", released in 2000, was the first grime song. ![]() Some will credit Pay As U Go's "Know We" or So Solid Crew's "Dilemma" (both were released in 2000), however, " Eskimo" by Wiley (produced in Christmas 1999 or early 2000, but released in 2002) and " Pulse X" by Youngstar (released in 2002), a member of Musical Mobb, are also often considered to be contenders. Members of these crews would begin to experiment with accessible music creation software such as Fruityloops to write their own instrumentals which were cut to dubplate for shows. The role of MCs became more prominent on radio shows, and collectives such as So Solid Crew (on Delight FM), Heartless Crew (on Mission), and Pay As U Go (on Rinse FM) would begin to pave the way for what would eventually be called "grime". Whilst much of the popular UK garage sound fused soul and R&B influences, a 'darker garage' sound was also appearing which was more instrumental and less vocal, which allowed MCs to lay down lyrics over them. In the late 1990s, UK garage grew in popularity and also found crossover commercial success with shows on Kiss 100 and BBC Radio 1. and it was through pirate radio that artists could first present themselves and build an audience. It has origins tied with UK pirate radio stations such as Rinse FM, Deja Vu, Major FM, Delight FM, Freeze 92.7 and Mission. Grime emerged in the early 2000s in London. Many but not all grime artists are from the Black British community. ![]() Though often compared, Grime is generally considered to be distinct from hip hop due to its roots primarily being genres such as UK garage and jungle. The genre has been described as the "most significant musical development within the UK for decades." In the mid-2010s, grime began to receive popular attention in Canada. The style initially spread among pirate radio stations and underground scenes before achieving some mainstream recognition in the UK during the mid-2000s through artists such as Dizzee Rascal, Kano, Lethal Bizzle, and Wiley. Emceeing is a significant element of the style, and lyrics often revolve around gritty depictions of urban life. The style is typified by rapid, syncopated breakbeats, generally around 140 beats per minute, and often features an aggressive or jagged electronic sound. It developed out of the earlier UK dance style UK garage, and draws influences from jungle, dancehall, and hip hop. ![]() Grime is a genre of electronic dance music (EDM) that emerged in London in the early 2000s. ![]()
