Just to add insult to injury amongst a bursting weekend of events, Skream will be hopping across the pond for the 2nd time this Summer, playing Low End Theory at The Knitting Factory. Perhaps even an appropriate addition to Spank Rock’s Big Box Arsenal of progressive, out-of-the-box musicians, Skream has come to represent the true forging of the Dubstep sound. While Burial continues to be #1 in Dubstep searches across internet music sites, Skream is a producer’s producer while also staying honest to his roots.

Unlike Burial’s discovery of a Jack Jackson-like musical signature in bottle-popping drum patterns, the variety of musical influence in Skream’s productions are numerous. From Ragga, Jungle, and Dub, Skream has been able to synthesis the bass heavy leanings of UK’s club scene, into a tropical storm of ferocity and heat.

Playing at Dubwar earlier this Summer for their anniversary show and enjoying himself enough to make a video about it, it’s no doubt wortha trek to TriBeCa for a bass brimming Saturday. And judging by the quality of music here in NYC this weekend and the opportunities in which to see the young lad from the old country, it’s time to man-up, fill your tanks with Red Bull, and get a bellyfull of bass.

Below is Skream’s remix for recent Pitchfork “Best New Music” addition The Bug, as well as Skream’s seminal “Midnight Request Line.”
