Pick your poison! Skream bites down for Steel City Dance Discs Volume 23. The Croydon (London, U.K.) native strikes hard with a 3-track injection of heaving dance floor venom. A motley of pumping rhythms courses through the veins of this EP as he reaches into his diverse repertoire of soundscapes. The record opens up with Doolally – a euphoric House shaker intoxicated with nostalgia. Now in its grip, Space Ghetto swells up with tight breaks and aching bass; the tune is peppered with head nods to early hardcore tropes and a voice recording of Big Miz. Symptoms persist with Drago The Destroyer, which finishes us off with a rapid onslaught of chest thumping kicks and off-kilter synth rushes. More

A man of many talents Skream makes a welcomed debut on the mighty Crosstown Rebels with the epic ‘Still Lemonade’ including a remix from the stupendous Redshape. A masterpiece for the peak time dancefloor ‘Still Lemonade’ sees melodic and emotive synth lines flow over rolling percussions with a powerful breakdown and build destined to make the crowd erupt. Over on the flip Redshape adds a grumble in the bassline, playing with the track for an intricate and subtle build but keeping in line with the original it soon progresses into a high intensity dance floor bomb. A fantastic double header of a release and destined for big things! Londoner Oliver Jones aka Skream is off to a flying start in 2015, working on his Crosstown LP, curating his own nights at XOYO for three months on a weekly basis and continuing his popular Radio 1 show where he covers everything from disco to techno. Starting out as one of dubstep’s first most prominent and prolific producers he then went on to achieve commercial success and critical acclaim with Magnetic Man alongside Artwork and Benga reaching no.5 in the UK Album Chart and reaching no.10 in the UK Singles Chart. Berlin resident, Redshape is a man of mysterious identity wearing a red mask for all of his shows. His impressive live act has seen him play at the likes of DC10 and Panorama Bar and releases can be found on Delsin, Music Man, Running Back and Styrax Leaves. More

Is there anything left to say about Oliver ‘Skream’ Jones the original Dub-step wonder kid that hasn’t already been said, probably not, but for those of you that don’t know here’s a brief history. Skream is one of the founder members of the then UK’s Dubstep movement alongside Digital Mystikz, Benga, Loefah, Kode9 etc and has taken the scene from its original darkest depths of Croydon to the top of the worldwide charts in less than 7 years. Currently one third of the chart topping super group ‘Magnetic Man’ alongside Artwork and Benga, the latter with whom he has travelled the globe DJing, selling out clubs, gigs and festivals wherever they go and who now have a semi regular prime time dance show on BBC Radio 1 showcasing the freshest and heaviest Dubstep joints. I think it’s safe to say without Skream the world of Dubstep would be in a very, very different place. Although some of Skream’s recent productions are finding their way onto daytime radio he has always been an ambassador of hard experimental underground UK dance music and this is exactly what he has delivered for DEEP MEDi. Gritty & Phatty Drummer are his second release for Mala’s (label and showcase Skream’s unquestionable production talent and ear for some of the coldest, stripped back skeletal rhythms around, both tracks are packed with enough dread and sub-weight to give you nightmares, strictly soundsystem music…

Skream returns with his second 12? and it's a further exhibition of his freakish musical ability. Having been working on a number of projects this last year he's managed to squeeze time into his hectic schedule to make two remarkable tracks for Nonplus. a) Skream Exothermic Reaction Exothermic Reaction? has been doing the rounds on the DJ circuit for well over a year and has been patiently awaited by fans since its first airing on Rinse FM. Skream takes us deep into haunting graveyard territory with ghoulish effects and off beat creepy bass lines that send shivers down your spine. Snares crack like whips around your head whilst the lfo mid range stays well under control in a spellbinding and palpitating groove that subtly keeps the track evolving. aa) Skream Future Funkizm Future Funkizm completely flips the script into the kind of one off track that comes out of Skreams mind every now and again and completely grabs you with its musical madness. Rolling beats coupled with a robo tone bassline set the scene for a synth masterclass that expands and contracts across the keys into a g-funk laden glimpse of the future. More
