What happened to Wiley? How come he's not in on the surge in popularity of grime?

He's behind the 'Eskimo Dance' nights I believe. Must get to one of those at some point, I think what they desperately need is a short, skinny white guy bouncing around the place.

Well this latest grime explosion is because the short skinny white guys sat up and took notice so I think you'd be in good company.

It was better before middle class white kids started thinking it was the best thing since sliced bread

Mmmm I'm kinda of the school of thought that it was much better a decade or so ago (not that middle class white kids weren't into it then) and it's all a little self-congratulatory now and also with much worse production, but that could easily just be your standard case of someone losing touch with a music scene.

Still, it's nice to see the genre hitting new heights and stuff and actually being an interesting youth culture coming to the fore, especially after the turn of the decade when grime as a genre seemed to just be throwing up on itself continuously as all the leading names tried to make throwaway club tracks.

I can definitely see Section Boyz playing. They seem to be the most recent hype train, and brought out Drake at a London gig a few weeks back.

And I'm really hoping AJ Tracey will be there. He is slowly growing in popularity and already has some great tracks, especially 'Naila'. Hopefully the genre will be well represented anyway  seeing how much it's grown in the last couple of years.
