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.
