Croydon’s dubstep juggernaut has been BUSY. Between Magnetic Man and his upcoming album, “Outside the Box”, Skream is killing it right now.
Here’s the new official video for Listenin’ to the Records on My Wall, from Skream’s new album, out August 9.
Meanwhile, there’s a video out for Perfect Stranger, by Magnetic Man x Katy B. Last time Katy B worked with Benga, we got Katy on a Mission, and I STILL can’t stop listening to that fire.
Skream’s been doing it for a minute, and his efforts are paying off bigtime. Magnetic man might be the first dubstep act to be signed to a major label, but we’ve already seen the likes of Chase & Status producing beats for Rihanna. Between brostep and the kind of accessible vocal dubstep we’re hearing from Katy B, it’s got some people feeling uneasy about the future of the genre. I’m glad they’re getting their money, this is good-ass music – but I can see where the bloggers are coming from. I don’t want to have to fight through an arena crowd the next time Datsik or Rusko comes to town. The grime nights here in Victoria are full of underground weirdos and that’s the way I like it! I’m not too concerned, though. Innovators tend to keep innovating.
I’m absolutely loving Magnetic Man at the moment, and I have no qualms with making money off great music like I assume they are/will be – and I thank god that Magnetic Man have come along and broken the mould that I said would be taken on by “popular” dubstep in my article.
So, yeah, I agree with you on this one, nice article.
