Interesting read

inb4 the shit hits the fan

Agree, interesting read. I also never knew about this until I read the comments;




Magnetic Man doing a cover of Willow Smith - Whip My Hair.

I want moar Mag man like this

Somebody has been lurking in the SNH...

There's a meme going round the dubstep messageboards. "Dubstep, it used to be like this," it says above a picture of about 10 blokes wearing winter coats, staring studiously at another bloke adjusting a mixer, "now it's like this." Underneath, there's a picture of six American teenage girls with their tongues out wearing glowstick glasses, fishnet tights and crop tops with bits cut across the chest to show off their neon bras.

I see Knell got a mention

I never wanna be looked at as lazy.

Something I don't think a single person could label Skream as with the sheer number of tunes he's made. Perhaps it is this paranoia that fuels his admirable work rate.

Though quite possibly the author rather than Skream. His comments later on about Skrillex and the Dubstep Music Awards sound like those of someone who has been on this forum.

I hate the fact that people who listened to me from '02 to '06 now feel that I've lost it.

Something to bear in mind for those who think he doesn't give a shit about the scene.

Good read,

Chuckled at the bit at the bottom--

26 NOV: THE FIRST DUBSTEP MUSIC AWARDS


If a dubstep awards ceremony happens in a warehouse in Birmingham but no actual dubstep DJs show up to it, does it make a sound? Er, yes. But in this case, the sound was of 4,000 glowstick-waving ravers riding around on dodgems to the sounds of wompy wompy bro-step like Flux Pavilion. Same time next year? Probably not.

well... respect to the man for working his ass off to feed his family. honestly, after all that's what we're here for in this world and he's found a way to do it that makes countless people around the globe happy.

but in order to do that he's turned his back on us 'oldschool fans' to cater to a new audience that provides him with enough money to feed his family. so why get all worked up when we turn away from him? he can't expect me to like his new tunes just cause he's got a son now.

edit: and i mean, i'm not even one of the oldschool heads. 02-06 i didnt even know what garage was

I thought the interview may have been posted here....

I havent turned my back on anyone, I thought people would have realised that when I pushed for tracks like 'Exothermic Reaction''Phatty Drummer' and 'Abstruse' to be released....

People can think what they like about me/my music, that's there/your opinion.....

I say it time and time again I have always made all styles of Dubstep/Bass music, as most of you know... It's impossible for me to make everyone like everything...

All I can say is there's gonna be more Deeper stuff,more techy stuff,more tear out stuff and more songs coming from my studio as there has always been.......Keep em peeled



Anyway, massive shout's to my fan's old and new I got so much love for all of ya...



Big Up!


Big Up!

You can't really say he's turned his back on his fans when he still puts out tunes like Phatty Drummer, Exothermic Reaction and some of those tunes on Skreamizm 6. He's still involved in this forum and interacts with fans, old and new alike, on facebook and twitter too, as well as often talking about going in to the studio to make dark and gritty tunes.

Edit: whoops, didn't see the Skream post

he should actually be proud so many people have got so worked up that he has 'turned his back on them', in a round about way it shows how much 'they' cared about his music. People only slate him because they want him to 'come back' lol if you get what i mean

edit


didn't see skream's post. but yeah, you didn't need to come here to explain yourself...outs to you

man still putting out some of his best tunes right now... exothermic/phatty/gritty/outlook dub

respect as he's gotta put food on the table, most of us on here don't have families and don't understand what it's like so cut him some slack.

As you're here...can I cheekily ask if Afeks VIP is lost? If so only Yunx has a dubplate of it? If not is there any chance of it seeing a release someday?

mad respect for skream

man, seems like yu was a kid only yesterday
nice to see you've survived to become a loving dad
it'll help yu stay grounded to avoid the hazards of stardom
but noughties invention & excitement can't be replicated, just exploited

More stuff like Midnight Request Line please! Maybe a couple of sets where you just play stuff like that as well wouldn't go amiss? Like Slanguage says, we only get worked up because we care

Pretty sure he did an '04-'06 set somewhere the other night.
