11 Skream 'Where Am I?'

When Skream transitioned his musical style to be more focused on house and techno, the hearts of all his dubstep fans dropped as he had countless dubplates that never saw an official release. This was a major draw when he was touring as a dubstep artist, as fans were not able to hear the music he played anywhere else because he, and a select few mates, were the only DJs who had the records. Back in 2005 he delivered a Get Darker mix that featured a plethora of dubplates, which included the gem of a tune ‘Where Am I?’. A jazzy dub motif lays the foundation as a deep bass fills the atmosphere. Classic dub out of the UK.

12 Skream ‘Groovin'’

With all the dubplates to his name, Skream took extra measures to make sure listeners could not get quality rips from the mixes that would surface online. That’s why in this rip from ‘Groovin’’, and the previous track ‘Where Am I?’, bird noises fill the space of the track. This carried throughout the Get Darker mix from 2005. Nevertheless, the rips give us a taste and a tease of the forbidden fruit that fans and DJs greatly desire. ‘Groovin'’ possesses that foundation dubstep sound and listening to it is almost like going back in time. Skream has been far removed from this sound for some time now, so it’s unlikely his dubplates will surface again any time soon.
