About Skream
Skream is the alias of Oliver Jones, who grew up in Croydon and spent his teenage years around the Big Apple Records shop, one of the hubs of early dubstep. His sparse, melodic 'Midnight Request Line', released on Tempa, became one of the genre's defining records, and his debut album 'Skream!' followed in 2006, with 'Outside the Box' arriving in 2010.
With Benga and Artwork he formed Magnetic Man, a group that took dubstep into the pop charts. He also co-hosted a BBC Radio 1 show with Benga. In later years his DJ sets moved away from wobble basslines toward house, disco and techno, drawing on the garage and dance records he grew up with.
