Slimzee

Slimzee, born Dean Fullman in London, United Kingdom, is a pioneering DJ and foundational figure in the evolution of UK underground music, particularly grime and garage. As a founding member of the legendary collective and label Rinse FM, Slimzee played an instrumental role in shaping the sound and culture of grime throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. Known for his technical skill, forward-thinking selection, and ability to break new talent, he was central to the rise of artists such as Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, and Skepta.

Slimzee’s career is marked by his no-nonsense approach to DJing, his influential pirate radio sets, and his resilience in the face of adversity, including famously being given an ASBO that prevented him from appearing on rooftops to maintain radio antennas. His tireless work and unwavering dedication to underground music have cemented him as one of the UK’s most respected selectors, beloved by generations of ravers and music devotees for propelling grime from the council estates of East London to international prominence.
