This is the sixth installment in the Rinse label's compilation series featuring exclusive and unreleased tracks mixed by Plastician. Plastician has been a prominent DJ on Rinse FM since 2003. He hosted BBC Radio 1's first radio show dedicated to dubstep and grime before returning to Rinse FM in 2007. Chris Reed (aka Plastician) was first introduced to a wide audience when, alongside Kode9 and Digital Mystikz, Rephlex Records signed Plastician productions for their acclaimed compilations Grime 1 and Grime 2. He has produced and remixed artists such as MIA, Alter Ego, Kosheen, Skepta, JME, and Black Ghosts. Plastician's breakthrough as a DJ came when he released his cut "Venom" under the name Plastic Man on former Rinse resident and grime pioneer Slimzee's label, Slimzos Recordings. This brought Plastician up on the Rinse FM radar, where Geeneus gave him a few guest slots which led to a permanent slot hosting an instrumental grime show. He's since gone on to play on every continent except Antarctica and can lay claim to being the first DJ booked to play dubstep in Africa. As for the mix itself, he says: "I wanted it to be personal -- I think this mix represents what I'm all about. It evolves throughout with different paces and peaking points... I balanced it out with some grime instrumentals, dubstep bangers, some blissed-out synthy numbers, some more chilled out stuff and even chucked in a live a capella mix for good measure!" Artists include Darkstar, Skream, Jakes, Joker, Crissy Criss, Maniac, Benny Page, Zero G, Unkle Sam, Maniac, DJ Narrows, Ed Solo, K Rio, Babylon System, and Sukh Knight.
