Skream is undoubtedly the most engaging personality to be propelled forth from the bloom and burst of dubstep culture. THUMP sat down with the always raw and often controversial Ollie Jones to pick his brains on the musical progression he’s undertaken– Alternately titled “Come With Me (or Fuck Off),” our new documentary follows Skream from the nascent days of UK dubstep, through the worldwide rinsing of crunchy tearout sounds, to his current house-driven incarnation.
Also discussed are that Boiler Room gig, footage from throughout his career, and a direct response to those who accuse him of bangwaggonery.
