DJ Geeneus + MC Wiley + MC Beenie | Drum & Bass Classics 1999 | Rinse FM 100.3 (Pirate Radio)

Artwork by Take Me Back Pirate Radio Archives. Recorded in 1999, Rinse FM was now broadcasting on 100.3 frequency across London and its surrounding counties. These were Wiley’s last days MCing over Jungle Drum & Bass before he put down the mic for a short while to DJ for the Garage crew, The Ladies Hit Squad, with DJ Target and MC Maxwell D. MC Beenie had been part of the furniture on Rinse FM since it’s early days, he would regularly do set with DJ Geeneus and Stamina MC (LK). Beenie’s style was influenced by the 80s Sound System era and he flowed with a Jamaican patois with air of ghetto consciousness. He definitely was an underrated MC who also knew how to host and interact with listeners.
DJ Geeneus kept doing his nighttime Sunday Jungle set, but focused on running the station. He too would later jump on the Garage scene and join forces with DJ Slimzee to form the Pay As You Go Cartel.
