Peel started playing grime music in 2004, possibly due to the influence of Rinse FM, a predominantly grime radio station, which Peel named in an interview with the Guardian newspaper:
"When I'm in London I listen to the pirates as much as I can. There's a station I like called Rinse FM, which is somewhere in the area banded by Kiss FM and Classic FM." 
Amongst those that were played on Rinse FM was Skepta, whose Private Caller tune was played by Peel.
