Rinse FM is one of London’s most important underground radio stations, with a sound built around grime, garage, dubstep, jungle, house, techno, bass, rap and forward-thinking electronic music. It grew out of London’s pirate radio culture and became a licensed community station, but it still feels closer to clubs, record shops, studios and late-night city life than to ordinary formatted radio.

The station broadcasts from London and is heard on 106.8 FM, DAB where available, and online through Radio Player UK. Rinse’s schedule is built around selectors, DJs, producers, labels, collectives and specialist hosts rather than predictable playlist blocks. That gives the station real depth: one hour might lean into UK garage or grime, the next into techno, jungle, dancehall, experimental electronic music or deep club selections.

Rinse FM is especially useful for listeners who want to hear what is moving through London’s underground before it becomes obvious elsewhere. Alongside the live stream, the London weather section helps listeners check local conditions while tuning in from the capital. It is a proper London station with global reach, but the energy still comes from the city’s clubs, studios, pirate-radio legacy and underground music communities.

Notable shows & presenters are:

  • Jyoty: Jyoty is one of Rinse’s standout selectors, known for a wide-ranging sound that moves through R&B, dancehall, club music and global rhythms. Her Rinse presence gives the station international energy while still fitting its London underground identity.
  • Uncle Dugs: Uncle Dugs is strongly associated with old school hardcore and jungle on Rinse. His shows are important because they connect the station’s current underground output with the rave and pirate-radio roots that shaped London’s dance music culture.
  • SK Vibemaker: SK Vibemaker brings interviews, rap, hip-hop, dancehall and artist-led conversation into the Rinse mix. His shows help the station cover UK music culture beyond pure club tracks, with space for guests and scene-focused discussion.
  • Chloe Sage: Chloe Sage is linked with UK rap, drill, trap, West Coast sounds and R&B. Her Rinse output works well for listeners who want the station’s urban music side rather than only its dance and electronic programming.
  • Chris The Capo: Chris The Capo brings high-energy rap, R&B, grime, Afrobeats, dancehall and drill into the schedule. His style suits Rinse’s ability to move between UK underground music and wider club-facing sounds without becoming bland.
  • Flashy Sillah: Flashy Sillah focuses on UK rap with emerging talent, underground tracks, freestyles and scene conversation. That makes the show useful for listeners who want new voices and frontline UK rap culture rather than safe playlist choices.
  • Gemma Ross — The Perimeter: Gemma Ross presents The Perimeter, a show exploring developing dance music scenes and subcultures around the world. It gives Rinse a broader electronic edge while still matching the station’s taste-maker role.
  • Interplanetary Criminal: Interplanetary Criminal brings UK rave, 2-step, 4x4, speed garage, breaks, jungle and hard house energy into the Rinse schedule. It is a strong fit for listeners who come to Rinse for club music with proper UK roots.
