He's bored, great. So create something new. Don't follow another trend (house, techno etc). Innovate.

ALL ABOARD THE BANDWAGON

Saying Dubstep is dead is so 2012

Well I for one prefer this...

...to pretty much any of his dubstep in the past couple years so good on him. Hope it goes well for him.

no worries, what's going on in the uk (atm) won't last.

dunno why so there's so much press for this ranging from djmag (ergh) to getdarker.
the sound is and always has been bigger than scream. nothings dead bar the name imo.

Dubstep declares "Skream is dead" and goes back to making boring house

.

“Our last album was a classic"

album full of anthems

Dj wanka's keeping the scene alive.

no ones talking about the power dynamic changing. if you've been here for a while you know that the media is dying to spin genre's out the window, in order to declare new genres, or more importantly, that they declared a new genre first.

the problem now of course, is that print media doesn't hold the power anymore. back in 2002, when XLR8R put "dubstep" on its cover for the first time, the electronic music scene was still utterly dependent on print media. XLR8R was one of the biggest magazine's in electronica at that time. when a genre got featured in XLR8R, everyone paid attention. XLR8R was only one of a handful of magazines writing about the sound back in 2002, but it was the first to put it on its cover. to a large extent, IMO, that cover started a snowball rollin.

these days, as was the case in this RBMA interview, bloggers love to put Skream on the spot with a microphone. he always get's thrown the dubstep health status question. this is going back several years now.

when Nas declared hiphop dead on his album cover, everyone laughed and moved on. the same amnesia applies here. people have been declaring dubstep dead for years, but in the world of soundcloud and youtube, does any genre ever die off? and if you're the person waving the death of dubstep flags, just to declare yourself the future...how's that working out for you?

big up to the skream. its boring being THAT guy for an entire genre. i bet if you ask goldie, how he feels about being THAT guy, he'd say the same.

Does this mean the collab with Hijack wont be coming out on Medi any more??

The funniest thing about this, is the original article is from the Daily Star?!

My personal first and last stop for all things Dubstep. Definitely getting my vote in next DSF awards.

Isn't the daily star and offshoot of the Sunday sport? Is that even still being printed?

Tbh I can't imagine your average daily star reader can read, let alone an article with the words, sex, drugs or bum I. The title.

i wish plebs would stfu on facebook about it, constantly repeating each other.

"OMG FUK U SKREM U tnuc M8 HOW DARE U SAY DUBSTEPS DED M8 IM FUCKIN MAKIN BANGERS YEA U DUN EVEN NO GO MAKE DISCO U FUKIN DICK"

"Skream didn't say it was dead"

"oh"

Sigh.

eurgh, these 'magazines' should just put all their focus on daft punk like they usually do.

what does a biased list accomplish to other people tryna bring this sound back?
that seb breh @ mixmag is a right parasite.

Did not expect to see Snooks on that list

too much focus on the genre name itself and not the music usually leads to boredom, anyway.

skream's "disco and funk" tracks are not interesting in the least bit, imo. but good for him for focusing somewhere else if he's not feeling "dubstep." article seems a bit pointless and self-absorbed, though.
