Grime MC Dizzee Rascal has been making grime music for almost 20 years now having been an early member of Roll Deep. He has had plenty of chart success including 5 UK #1 singles. During his career he’s worked with many dance producers and these are his collaborations;

Lucky Star (with Basement Jaxx)


Dance Wiv Me (with Calvin Harris)


Bonkers (with Armand Van Helden)


Heavy (with Chase & Status)


Snap Ya Neck Back (with DJ Muggs)


The Power (with DJ Fresh)


Here 2 China (with Calvin Harris & Dillon Francis)


Love This Town (with Teddy Sky)


When It Comes To You (with Adam F & Cory Enemy)


Love Ain’t Just A Word (with Rudimental)


How Love Begins (with DJ Fresh & High Contrast)


Hype (with Calvin Harris)


Back It (with Skepsis)



Which of his current dance features is your favourite?

Which dance producers would you like to see him feature with in the future?

1. Bonkers (with Armand Van Helden)
2. Dance Wiv Me (with Calvin Harris)
3. Hype (with Calvin Harris)
4. The Power (with DJ Fresh)
5. Love This Town (with Teddy Sky)
6. Back It (with Skepsis)
7. How Love Begins (with DJ Fresh & High Contrast)
8. Snap Ya Neck Back (with DJ Muggs)
9. Lucky Star (with Basement Jaxx)
10. When It Comes To You (with Adam F & Cory Enemy)
11. Heavy (with Chase & Status)
12. Here 2 China (with Calvin Harris & Dillon Francis)
13. Love Ain’t Just A Word (with Rudimental)

Dizzee Rascal has probably peaked in his career and it’s not likely that much of what he releases in the future will have as much impact as his previous releases. He could still be a supplementary featured artist as opposed to the main featured artist. I could see a feature with the likes of Sub Focus or Fisher sounding quite good though.

Dance With Me!

Back It is *amazing* though also - can't believe I've never heard it before.

Well it did only come out 2 months ago!

Does "Holiday" not count?

"Bonkers" nonetheless!

I considered this, and it’s a great song, but it’s not crediting Calvin Harris as producer so I avoided it.

Voted for 'Dance Wiv Me'!

I quite like Dizzee but fair play, a lot of these songs are AWFUL.

Dance Wiv Me & Bonkers are of course classics and I do enjoy both, but I'll go for Love This Town on this. Always loved that one.

Actually went with 'How Love Begins', underappreciated track and I like the early 90s rave influence. I also like Bonkers, Dance Wiv Me, The Power, Lucky Star and Hype: he's had some great dance collaborations!

Pity, the final minute of it in particular is incredible.
