London-based dancehall DJ Joe Grime has sadly passed away.
A regular fixture on East London pirate station Deja Vu FM, where he held down the weekly Bashment Show, Joe was much-loved to the capital’s dancehall fans, and could also be seen playing at night’s like The Heatwave’s Madd Raff sessions and Mosca and Unknown Soulja’s Commandments.
In 2013, Joe was diagnosed with Angiosarcoma of the heart, as well as cancer on the lungs, adrenal gland and spine, and despite intensive chemotherapy he was left terminally ill.
Deja Vu, who held a fundraiser dinner and dance for Joe less than a month ago, announced his death this afternoon.
