Dubstep originators Skream and Benga have shared new single 'Good Things Come To Those Who Wait', the pair's first original release in over a decade.

The pair have reunited for a number of DJ sets in the last two years, releasing a remix of Charli xcx's 'Von Dutch' last May.

Girls Don't Sync debut new single 'Our House' on their imprint Fourmation Records
UKG quartet Girls Don't Sync's new single 'Our House' has landed on their newly-minted Fourmation Records.
The joyful, vocal-led house banger is the first to land on the new label, which has been created in collaboration with legendary dance music imprint Positiva.
“So happy to say that after a year of testing it out, Our House is finally out now! With lyrics as powerful as the drop, Our House has become a GDS staple. This track was heavily inspired by a session we had with Basement Jaxx," say Girls Don't Sync.
"They encouraged us to be playful and experimental with our vocals and to use real-life stimulus for samples and melodies—it really shaped the identity we wanted to bring forward in our music.”
