Skream featuring Sam Frank - ‘Where You Should Be’

Posted by Joe Gamp at 18/05/2011 09:00:00

The latest cut to be lifted from Skream’s boundary pushing Outside the Box album – it see’s the dubstep godfather team up with Sam Frank for one of the more commercially bound slices of the eclectic LP which dips throughout the underground, via the overground.

Vocoder soaked, robotic vocals layer over Skream’s widescreen bassline that radiates at the drop keeping it clean, mean and lean in the most accessible sense, with warming and not too tough drum timbres. A great slice of how commercial dubstep CAN be made, its combination of lover’s rock aesthetics, deep sub basslines and drizzly, oily melody tones make for an accessible track that will only serve to cement Skream’s name further into dubstep folklore.

The boy seems to run on super strength batteries – when will he stop churning them out, I hear you cry? Probably when he’s still on his deathbed and trying to reach the keys of his computer I reckon. Whether it’s Magnetic man’s worldwide war cry, his disco, house and rave tinged efforts on Disfigured, or returning home to his roots with this latest release on Tempa, he’ll keep on producing the dubs – come rain or shine.
