Skream - Watch The Ride (Various Artists)

Harmless

Along with Benga, Croydon prodigy Skream carries the flag for the south London dubstep scene. The latest in the Watch The Ride series, Skream has put together this quickfire mix CD (28 tracks in 62 minutes) and it’s a good primer for newcomers to the sound. Featuring no less than 19 exclusive tracks, several from Benga and Skream themselves, it’s an upfront set with its sights trained firmly on the dancefloor. While subsets of the genre flirt with IDM or techno, this is dubstep in its purest, floor-shaking form. Find the biggest subwoofer you can and give your neighbours something to think about. Heavy.
