Artum Presents: DJ Slimzee – A Legend Lands in Birmingham 🎧
Saturday 21st June – ARTUM
On Friday 20th September, Artum welcomes a true pioneer of the UK underground scene – the godfather of grime, DJ Slimzee.
A co-founder of Rinse FM and pirate radio royalty, Slimzee helped shape the sound of Grime and UKG in the early ‘90s, giving a platform to a new generation of MCs and producers long before the mainstream caught on. His iconic Sunday grime shows were the launchpad for countless now-household names.
With a golden disc for his role in Dizzee Rascal’s Boy in Da Corner and decades of influence behind the decks, this is a rare chance to catch a legend in an intimate setting – expect a heavy mix of grime, UKG, bass and beyond.

From her frontline work in Westminster to her campaigning in the community, Jess will share insights into the realities of political life – including recent high-profile challenges, her ongoing fight to change the culture around violence against women and girls, and her deep-rooted connection to Birmingham.
Expect sharp commentary, personal reflections and candid stories from one of the most recognisable voices in British politics today – all delivered on home turf.
