On Rinse they do a Grime show when they turn up.
When they do live shows, they do PA or if it is a few of them, then a live set, like radio with maximum mixing it up.
In Napa is the only place where they do the full shabang with all the music mixed up. On some Heartless Crew type of vibe.
No others in the grime scene have this sort of versatility.
When you talk about Djs mixing it up playing a bit of everything, its just a thing that has come about especially with the Grime DJs, they dont want to pigeon whole themselves incase the scene dies. Some are not into the music as much as they were before, and some want to be DJing in the clubs, regardless of what they play.
Trying to be eclectic is the in thing right now.
Listen to the Grime debate.
Most of them have been left in a position where the only time they play Grime music is on Rinse FM. To play in clubs they have to play funky. I think they look at people like Cameo & Target and think that is the way to get onto a legal station.
My position on it is the opposite, I can see everyone playing a bit of everything, so it nearly becomes a niche to be playing one thing. And because I have been so explicit about it over the last 6 months on Rinse I have gained more listeners and followers of the show. Some people dont like Funky, Garage and Bassline mixed into their Grime. Infact, im not even sure if I do. Right now im just pushing the music in places where these Djs have failed to in the past, and seeing what happens.
With Oneman, Brackles, Bok Bok and the like, they haven't had their names attached to a particular scene as much, so they dont need to conform to any particular demands of a scenes fanbase. They can literally play what they want especially to audiences like FWD, Night Slugs where they go to hear something new, or something old, presented differently. They are good because they are introducing new people into different strands of whats going on here, and getting different people into this music, that others haven't been able to reach before. Whereas people like Spyro and Maximum have had to their names attached to the Grime scene since 2003; so they will always be Grime Djs, playing sets to satisfy the grime fans, then their own pleasures whether thats funky or dubstep as well.
