Benga, Artwork, and Skream are Magnetic ManFirst up is new material from Magnetic Man, the dubstep supergroup comprised of Skream, Benga, and Artwork. Readying their debut full-length, the trio will drop lead single "I Need Air" on July 26th. The single, with vocals by Angela Hunte, has cross-over written all over it. Magnetic Man will also be hitting major summer festivals, but alas, none in the US.
When not recording and performing with his partners-in-grime, Skream is preparing for an August release of his second full length, entitled Outside the Box. As a treat for fans, he recently dropped four free tracks on Twitter.
The Freeizm EP (a play on earlier Skreamizm EPs) contains two originals and two remixes. "Cut Like a Buffalo" gives an ominous, garage-feel to the Dead Weather track. Pitchshifted vocals on "Show Me Love" are attributed to "Robert S" - instead of club queen Robin S - on a reworking of the dance classic (and TGRI theme song).
On his original compositions, "Pitfall" is more harder-edge dubstep and "Minimool" is sweeping future funk (not quite minimal, as the title would suggest). Are these Skream's best tracks? Not by a long-shot. But they whet the appetite of fans waiting for an album full of bangers like these:
