Internet and pirate radio
By the mid to late 1990s, genres such as happy hardcore, jungle/drum'n'bass and speed/UK garage saw a new generation of pirate radio stations emerge. In London, Kool FM was joined by Rinse FM, Rude, Flex FM, Eruption FM, and Dream FM in championing jungle music/drum'n'bass, and the latter also happy hardcore.[26][27][28] Speed/UK garage was being pushed by stations such as London Underground (notably the Dreem Teem), Freek FM (notably DJ EZ), and Girls FM.[29]Α The now legal Flex FM and Rinse FM would make a transition from jungle to UK garage during the course of the 1990s.
For some, the Internet still does not replace the need for pirate radio: "Pirate will never stop; it’s cyclical. If you push people hard enough, they’ll find a mode of expression. The internet has been pretty cool for that, but it’s not the be-all-and-end-all", whilst others argue that for music like grime, pirate radio continues to be "such an essential platform for emerging voices".For former pirates such as Kool London, Internet radio has given them a new lease of life
