Rudimental: ‘living for the weekend? We still feel like that as adults’

Yet as Elba closes the track declaring “London, the home of the greats”, a hometown pride rises above the brawl. Rudimental salute Loud LDN’s Charlotte Plank, Peter Xan and producer 1991 as rising stars keeping the city’s dance scene vital and vibrant. “When you grow up in London, you are exposed to all these different elements,” says Dryden. “There’s not the segregation that you have in places like America. Growing up in Hackney, we were surrounded by all cultures, all walks of life, all types of dance music. And it’s something that we’ve grown with, and it’s all we’ve ever known. London has that very special feeling when it comes to dance music, it’s just approached in a different way.”
