Rinse have been going strong for 15 years and with such talent and music diversity everyday and night, the fanbase has grown and grown and grown. Now with Uk's finest urban musicians only being limited to 1 slot a week on the biggest underground stage, Rinse should be recognised as a legit radio station.
The Rinse story started with 16 yr old DJ Geeneus and Slimzee who braced us with the finest underground music from their then and even now unknown studio in the heart of East london. The likes of Pay As U Go, Dizzee, Wiley, Tinchy Stryder, Roll Deep, Newham Generals, MC Stamina and Heartless Crew soon came through and used Rinse as their playground where they could experiment with their fans texting and MSN'ing their thoughts right back. Today, Geeneus and Slimzee are often shouted out by those on Rinse.
Rinse FM have applied for a licence in the past only to be rejected. Despite this, Rinse kept doing what Rinse do best, bring the freshest beat. But Rinse have had their fair share of problems. In 2003 DJ Slimzee was caught putting up broadcasting equipment illegally and was banned from evey rooftop in the borough. On top of this, GRIME was banned on the station yet this problem was soon dealt with.

Nowadays, Rinse plays the fiest house music with its roster boasting the finest upcoming and veteran DJ's such as Youngsta, Funk Butcher, Plastician, Silencer, Oneman, Alexander Nut, N-type, Spyro and Vectra. There are too many to name.
Rinse also has a bunch of CD's compiled and mixed by their DJ's. None of them dissapoint. As well as this, Rinse regularly host parties with FWD at MATTER or at BLOC. These sell out every single time and is an experience in itself.
I don't know what Rinse need to do to get legalised but it doesn't matter because at the end of the day they will get their licence one way or another. Hold tight the Rinse massive. Sign the petition and support RInse at www.rinse.fm
