A channel now known for giving a voice to a new multicultural generation of British kids that didn’t see themselves or the culture they were creating represented anywhere else in the media at the time.
RED PILL ETH SERIES
Both Missy Elliott and HRH Prince Charles co-signed the groups first concept leading to an animated series commissioned by Channel U. Their mission? To use comedy as a mirror to the media industry to show it’s hypocrisy at the time. Making the decision to veer off and form a creative splinter faction group, he joined forces with a DJ, a graffiti writer and some guy from Teddington. The most notable being “” and “RWD forum” which later became both famous and infamous at the same time. Building the first online platforms to grow communities around emerging music scenes that laid the foundations for grime/dubstep/garage music online. As a teenager and local pirate radio fan he used design, technology and storytelling to translate the culture he was surrounded by. Vector Meldrew’s curiosity for exploring ideas that most people don’t care about (yet) has led him down some exciting paths. A few even suggest that Vector Meldrew is in fact a talented cluster of design specialists, decentralisation nerds, visionaries and music buffs, but then some people will believe anything… Others talk of him as a savior (of sorts?!), delaying the coming apocalypse whilst his devastating power is occupied disentangling a video cord. Some say he has no physical form, existing only through the output of his graphical creativity. Vector Meldrew seems less concerned with ‘whos’ or ‘whats’, choosing rather to pour his passions into ‘how’.
