Magnetic Man – The Album
Reprazent’s debut album “New Forms” was one of the first albums to give drum n bass the mass credibility and media coverage that it deserved and Magnetic Man’s debut is set to do the same for dubstep. While obviously completely different style wise, the Magnetic Man album has the same air of class – switching [...]
Skream – Outside The Box
While the tornado of hype around Skream’s Magnetic Man project continues, his own second album finally lands on Tempa and it’s been worth the wait. Featuring an array of guest vocalists, the album should finally push Skream’s work to household-name levels (if that La Roux remix hadn’t already). Opening with the beautiful ambience of “Perforated”, [...]
Skream – Freeizm Vol 2 and 3 – free downloads
With Skream’s second album “Outside The Box” about to land on Monday – he’s kindly given away another two batches of free tunage (you can still pick up Vol 1 here). Packed to the brim with quality dubstep goodness and unreleased remixes, this is a bit of a treasure trove for Skream fans – get [...]
Skream – Freeizm Vol 1 – free downloads
While we’re eagerly awaiting Skream’s 2nd album and the debut from the Magnetic Man project, Skream’s been kind enough to give away a coupla unreleased goodies via his Twitter. We’ve rehosted them here for ease of download, so get em down the pipes and turn the bass up to 11. Skream has since went on [...]
D Bridge, Instra:mental & Skream – Acacia Avenue
D Bridge & Instra:Mental launch their new Autonomic imprint with this lovely piece of dark electronica running at 170bpm. A robotic groove shifts the track alongside monumental sub bass and an ever so catchy wee synth hook. The whole track just oozes atmosphere and depth. Skream takes a back seater for “Detroid” on the flip [...]
Skream – Sweetz (2005 Flex)
London’s Keysound Recordings unearthed this classic lost dub by Skream and thankfully shared it with the world. It’s a lovely piece of dark dubstep goodness with big doomy atmospherics and a creeping bassline that’s even better than most of Skream’s recent (undoubtedly good) output, so take a wee wander over to Boomkat and pick up [...]
Skream – Repercussions Of A Razorblade
Coming as the second release on Loefah’s Swamp 81 imprint, Skream retains the doomy vibe of the first release (Kryptic Minds’ brilliant “One Of Us” album) with “Repercussions Of A Razorblade” and proves once again that there’s more to him than the shady wobblefests. What you get for your money is an eerie half stepper [...]
Skream – Minimalistix
Despite being dubstep’s golden boy, Skream for me has always been hugely hit and miss. However, the odd thing here and there (“Trapped In A Dark Bubble” amongst others) has surprised me and he’s turned out a cracker here for his debut on Instra:Mental’s Nonplus+ imprint. Steppy drums keep the head nodding while a simple [...]
