Emerging in 2003 as an early teen with a fantastic knack for production, Skream not only built up his own rep, but along with folks like Kode 9, Benga, Hatcha and just a handful of others, crafted the foundation of dubstep genre, with the help of British pirate radio station, Rinse.fm.
Here are two from the Skream’s 2006 debut release, ‘Skream!’, released on Tempa.
