Skream,the figurehead of dubstep, the man that brought it to life, the head honcho, mr big subs, the wonder kid…Whatever name you call him (the majority of them I clearly just made up) Skream really is the main man of dubstep. He’s attitude, remixes, ever evolving sound coupled with an unwillingness to be placed in a bracket has always kept him a cut above the rest. His new album ‘Outside The Box’ due for release on the 9th of August sees Skream once again breaking down the template and genre brackets of dubstep by upping the tempos and layering potent euphoria’s echoing the golden days of 90′s rave.
“I’m trying to bring rave back,” says Skream…
“I don’t even see it as dubstep any more, I just see it as this big community of UK bass music. It’s really interesting and it’s running shit at the minute,”
And he’s once again spot on! It really is just a big community of UK artist sharing and blurring the lines of genres to keep you dancing. There’s no genre that can hold these many influences, but if I was gonna name it id simply call it the 140 Bass Movement, well 130 – 145 but its not as catchy. When Skream first distributed “Listening To The Records On My Wall” over the web a whole gang of narrow minded twits began to pluck new genres from the stale air that surrounds their brains. “Drumsstep”, “liquid dubstep”, “Jungle”, “DnB”, it’s amazing why these people can’t listen to a sick tune without feeling the urge to bracket it in a genre and then bicker like grannies all over the web. Take a look at the comments on youtube and you’ll see what I mean…
Sadly Skream’s new album has been leaked over the web, no clue where, and I wouldn’t tell you anyway. Despite this Skream’s generousity prevaled and once again he’s released the last of the 3 vol Freeizm’s. We’ve post all 3 for you to get your mits on and just in time to get you ready for the weekend! But remember to return the favour and pre-order Skream’s ‘Outside The Box’ out on the 9th of August right here! Help support the the UK Bass Community!
