What’s On… TRENCH Presents Grime 3.0 @ SXSW LONDON, June 4th, Strongroom with Converse

The full line-up for TRENCH’s Grime 3.0 showcase at this year’s SXSW London festival has officially been announced…

UD are proud to be a partner, showcasing Newham’s finest, Reptile B, at the Strongroom with Converse. A boundary-smashing artist fusing grime, UK drill, dancehall, jungle and punk, expect a volatile blend that’s as urgent as it is unclassifiable…

Reptile B

On Wednesday 4th June—at the Converse Strongroom Live Room in Shoreditch, east London, from 2pm to 11pm—TRENCH will be hosting a specially curated day of live performances from MCs and DJs pushing the sound forward in 2025. From Jammz, Micofcourse and Nicole Blakk to JayaHadADream, BexBlu and Ceebo, come down and witness the future of grime and UK underground music.

Music journalist, UD Marketing consultant and TRENCH brand manager Chantelle Fiddy, who led the curation for this event, said: “We’ve witnessed the dilution of the true essence of grime. Grime music is dance music; we want reloads, gunfingers, and real mic-barring laid bare! Alongside a slew of DJs and MCs doing just that, taking us back to the old skool, we will witness a new generation of genre-bending artists—drawing on jazz, chill and rap—bringing a whole new wave to a venue near you.

“On June 4, TRENCH will host a grime event that showcases those in the scene pushing things forward in 2025. We’ve invited respected purveyors of Grime 3.0—Balamii, Travs Presents, UD Music, Pretty Twisted and Girls Of Grime—to collaborate on showcasing the work of a new cohort. Expect a full 360 view of what’s really happening at the forefront of the UK underground.”
