VARIOUS (SKREAM)

RINSE 02

RINSE FM

CD

(DECEMBER 2007)

Each instalment of the “Rinse” series reflects the sounds championed by UK radio station Rinse FM with each DJ showing us their perspective of British pirate music by way of track selection and tempo of mix.

Next up is dubstep’s deserved  forefather, the mighty Skream (real name Olli James). His self titled debut album was released to critical acclaim, featuring much revered bone shakers such as ‘Tapped’ and ‘Midnight Request Line’. Since then, Skream has been tearing up the floor everywhere, from Fabric to authentic nights such as FWD>>, even playing with Hot Chip in a wrestling ring a few months back.

Still in step with his ska-tinged, head bobbing productions, Skream offers exclusive new tracks from his vault, such as 'Murderer', 'Oit', 'Kum Ere Sun' and 'Refuel', all delivering blistering basslines whilst keeping the dutty, low-frequency skank purring in the background. They’re lined up next to apocalyptic tracks like Rusko and Caspa’s bowel shifting 'Bread Get Bun', dubstep figurehead Benga’s '26 Basslines', the shape shifting Kode 9’s Badawi remix and Skream’s own stunning reinterpretation of The Black Ghost' 'Some Way Through This'.

It’s clear that Skream utilises his dexterity and eclecticism to maximum impact.
