In 1996, Jungle music productions, raves and pirate radio stations had thrived in London and other regions of the UK (Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leicester).
Rinse FM had recently changed dial from 97.6 to 91.8 FM. Things on the station had begun to take off. Rinse was a hub for Jungle Drum & Bass crews and collectives, showcasing talent from all parts of London with a epic lineup of DJs, producers and MCs.
