BBC Radio 1 have dusted the shelves and said au revoir to stoic presenters Judge Jules, Gilles Peterson, Kissy Sell Out, Fabio & Grooverider.

The reason for the clean?

“It’s important that Radio 1 continues to develop new talent and the station keeps evolving for our young listeners,” said Radio 1 Controller Ben Cooper in a statement. “These changes to our evening schedule will strengthen the range and depth of the specialist music offering on the network.”

Doing just that the powers that be have settled on current dubstep hitters Skream & Benga, London bass-hopper Charlie Sloth, DNB-er Friction and young gun Toddla T.

From April 2012 the young-blood will be taking over!
