The drama is also sponsored by Childline, which aims to encourage young people to address certain issues they may be going through.Īlthough Dubplate Drama mainly speaks to young adults, it’s such an eye-opener on what’s actually going on today that even your mum would want to watch it. ‘The reason why Dubplate Drama works is because it’s based on reality’ says Wretch 32. From the start, the programme has always offered thought-provoking storylines and has featured various music artists such as Ms Dynamite.

It’s popularity and the support it received was what led it to be on our TV screens today. It’s hard to believe that a television drama which is aired to thousands of people across the country, started-out as mainly only being accessible on mobile phones. There were also cameo’s from Donaoe, Wretch 32 and other well-established names from the UK music scene who gave a brief performance of ‘Let it out’, a song presented in association with Dubplate Drama and Childline. N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavalos who plays Laurissa, a drug-addicted victim of domestic violence, is also no stranger to her character and tells Flavour how she herself experienced being ’drawn-in and controlled’ by someone she loved when she was younger. Not to mention a few new faces such as Charles Mnene and Issac Ssebandeke who plays Devil and Millz, respectively.

You can also expect to see appearances from Jay Sean to Tim Westwood in the third series.

And up until series 3 got released, and you got voting, not even the Dubplate creators knew where all of this was going.

In series 2 we saw Dionne, played by Shystie, facing tough decisions as to whether or not she should keep her unborn baby, Bones played by Adam Deacon gets brutally attacked and dies and Hoodman who plays Warren gets hit over the head with a vodka bottle by Bones’ mum. So, at the end of each episode, the viewers vote on what happens next. That’s because Dubplate Drama is ‘the world’s first interactive drama’. Strangely enough, it’s not up to the writer’s as to how the plot unfolds, but the viewers. Throughout the drama, the characters are constantly being faced with a range of dilemmas from drug issues, to unplanned pregnancies, domestic violence and assault. They all want to make it big in the music business, but there are always obstacles to overcome. Forwards! Other artists include: Skream, Benga, Geeneus, Zinc, Headhunter, Shotz, Footsie and Wonder.Dubplate Drama follows the life of a group of young adults determined to become successful in the music industry. Listen hard enough, and you'll hear the sparse remnants of '80s soul, heavy rave, molecule-shifting dub, Valium jungle and energetic, shadowy garage, all spun up into something positive and powerful. Dubstep, a once-niche concern in places like Croydon, Chapeltown and Easton, has turned into a force, gathering pace in Osaka, Melbourne and Helsinki. Not only did they answer important questions on, say, what exactly a pirate radio aerial should look like, but also set up the fictional station studio, just to make sure everything was just right.

Rinse advised on 'pirate authenticity' for the show. The Rinse FM of the show is obviously inspired by the Rinse FM of real life. But what's that simmering away as the soundtrack to our entry back into Dubplate World? It's 20-year-old South Londoner Benga's raw, hypnotic dubstep anthem, 'Live Drums.' Race through the 12 rollercoaster episodes, and you'll hear the sound of Croydon's baddest bassheads percolating under the increasingly heavy drama, adding next-level suspense and a whole new sonic dimension. Cousin Warren's back in town and he's already causing big trouble - specifically, he's having a party in their Grandma's flat. It's the opening episode of Dubplate Drama's second series and aspiring MC Dionne (played by real-life MC Shystie) is about to spark a chain of events that will tip her world upside-down. Rinse is proud to present Dubstep Drama, the official soundtrack to the Channel 4 television series, Dubplate Drama II.
