Dizzee Rascal, Liquid Room, Edinburgh, 1 June

The Liquid Room is filled almost to capacity for tonight's grime fest, with The Newham Generals (Dirtee Skank) bringing up the rear with DJ Tubby, and some of the dirtiest lyrics and rumbling bass that innocent ears can process. Wet It Up, following a ragga tip, gets the crowd jumping, while Bell Them Slags entices the audience to put their hands up if they have a slag's number in their current phone. The Newham Generals, hailing from the East London borough of Newham, and recently signed to the Dirtee Skank label, step up the tempo and re-inforce the techno loop leanings with Pepper, spurring the jumping throng to scream 'have it!' when the Generals shout 'yes'. Dizzee then rolls on to screams and whistles, accompanied by his astonishingly talented one-armed tour, DJ Semtex, who scratches and slides his way through the set using his teeth to control the mixer. A mixture of Dizzee's old and new repertoire gets a 60 minute run-down, from Boy In Da Corner through to Maths+English, but it's gems like Sirens, Fix Up, Look Sharp, and I Luv U, that get the biggest cheers. He's joined onstage by the Generals for a rousing finish, so much so, that the crowd are hesistant to leave when the system's switched off and the needles laid to rest, just in case they miss another exciting moment.
