Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Slimzee's Rinse FM slot on the 15th floor of a condemned tower block literally built grime's sonic architecture — the height gave his signal illegal reach across London.
The 'terrible' in the title references Slimzee's 2005 ASBO that banned him from DJing for 10 years — making this a comeback story disguised as a career obituary.
