Skream!
2006 studio album by Skream
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skream! is the self-titled, debut album by dubstep producer Skream. It was released in 2006 on the Tempa label.[7] The album is considered to be an important stepping stone for dubstep. BBC Music described it as having "accelerated dubstep’s transformation from hyped underground scene to [a] sort of influential [genre]", as it fuzes more "old-school rave" sounds with more accessible "pop" sounds.[8] The album predates the highly popular and influential dubstep works by producers such as Skrillex, sometimes disparagingly referred to as "brostep". It essentially serves as an accessible entry into "classic dubstep".[9]
