Skream's La Roux Remix gone GOLD (400k sales!)

shamwow · Post by **shamwow** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 7:50 am

Was announced on mistajams radio show last night, and just to re-enforce the claim Skream posted on twitter:

Cant believe i just got given a GOLD disc........Biggley big up Seb Chew and @mistajam....

Now if this is one of those official ones handed out by BPI then this means his remix alone sold 400,000 copies.

It should look like one of these:

Fucking big look for Dubstep, whether you hate the tune or what, it's the first dubstep tune to reach an audience of almost half a million.

Are these download sales then or something? But even then I thought it was available free download? (legally)

Confuzzled

No need to piss on his fire. He made it his own.

I'm not lol

Well done to him but i think it's a shame it wasn't one of his own tracks genuinely...I like his other tracks...why is it pissing on his fire?

As if anything i say would matter to him lol

Yea Bigups to the man..

Hadn't hear of la roux before - hates the origional

Didn't know the remix was actually on sale, thought it was leaked and free

Look how much he's done for the game in general, this accolade only represents one portion of his work, from production to dj'ing, he's been there steering a genre.

Bigup yourself sir.
