Soundtracking the sounds of suburban Croydon, Skream’s trademark minimal sound found a resounding ear with urban youth around the world. From his sets and radio shows with cohort Benga to his ever-evolving solo releases on Tempa, and the formation of Magnetic Man, his gravity-defying beats and pads, all buoyed by a tidal wave of sub bass, make Oliver Jones’s music perfect for walking across the moon or accompanying an experiment gone wrong set in a Martian research bunker. Whether he’s moulding bass music across the board, electronic house, dubbed out disco, or dancehall riddims – it all gets squeezed through the Skream filter and ends up sounding like it’s been beamed from the dark side of some asteroid.
The magnetic man they call Skream with a two-hour-plus lesson in bass-heavy club music across the board. Live from Berlin’s CTM Festival
