I am writing an article for Uni and I remember reading that Skream once said he didn’t really get Jungle at first, it was what his brother listened to. Am I going mad or does anyone else remember that to because it would really help me?

Quite sure this is mentioned early into his RBMA lecture video.

B: Have you got a big family?

S: Nah I’ve got one brother, he plays house. He’s Hijack: he used to be in [legendary south London raving crew] Internatty with Bailey, Grooverider and all that. That’s how I met Loefah, he came up to me and said ‘was your brother was in Internatty?’ My brother was on Energy FM and Kiss before Kiss was big, doing jungle sets. I’ve got a wall of ’89 to ’96 dubplates that have never been played, just clean and that.

B: Were you into jungle at the time?

S: Nah it’s when I got older. I love dark music, not just bass but deep stuff. I think it’s because I make beats I appreciate how well they’re made. When I listen to Photek now I freak. But I only started listening to all my brothers jungle later, though I don’t majorly listen to it.

From my interview here.

Thanks so much really helped, much appreciated
