Over the years, Rude FM has been host to some of the most renowned names from the scene. Dylan and Facs are two notable DJs, signed to Danny Breaks' label Droppin' Science, who came up through the Rude FM ranks.
Dylan ended up forming his own label Freak Recordings, pushing the harder, darker side of Drum & Bass with releases from another Rude regular B Key.
There was also Fracture and Neptune, who started as a DJ duo and ended up signed to Droppin' Science, but then went on to form their own label, Astrophonica.
Rude FM was established in the early 90s around 92/93 on London's FM dial on 104.3 frequency. It started playing Hardcore Jungle music before the sound developed it what is known as the Drum & Bass. It featured some of the scene's most celebrated DJs, MCs, producers and artists.
It was celebrated as one of the top three DNB pirate radio stations of it's era, showcasing the likes of: DJs: Smokey Joe (Smokester), DJ Facs, DJ Dylan, DJ Sly, DJ Choppa D (The Clairvoyants / SBR (Spectral Band Replication), DJ XS, DJ Lix, DJ Chillem (Chillum), DJ Agent K, DJ Little Jon, DJ Lady Siras (Lady Cyrus), DJ Fuse, DJ Overdrive, DJ Lady Flava, DJ Devastate, DJ E, DJ System, DJ Haze, DJ Wagner, DJ Lady Wipeout, DJ Vibestein, DJ General Sparks, DJ Ricky Red Eye, DJ Shocker T, DJ Stylee, DJ BFG, DJ Frogger, DJ Nicam, DJ Terry Tee (Knowledge & Wisdom Records), DJ Rollin' Mat, DJ Tubby, plus many more.

In 1998 there was a schism because of a rift between the management. Fugi (Fugitive) who was part of the management took the name Rude FM and set up on the 88.2FM dial taking many of the DJs and MCs whilst Chillum (Chill'em) and Lady Cyrus continued to manage the newly styled Ruud Awakening FM on 104.3.
