Dub's dynamic duo

Party with dubstep super-duo Skream and Benga and let them rock your socks off as they return to Bed Supperclub tonight.
You might know of Skream and Benga as two members of British dubstep trio Magnetic Man, who rose to international fame in 2010 with their self-titled debut album. While the group is enjoying a break after their first album, Skream and Benga tour the world and grace cool parties to give their fans a taste of Britain’s most respected dubstep.
Skream (real name Oliver Dene Jones) is a British electronic-record producer based in Croydon. One of dubstep’s first and most prominent producers, he has played an important role in the genre’s development. His debut album “Skream!” was released in 2006, followed by “Outside the Box” in 2010.
As Dubstep gained notice from conventional news outlets such as The Guardian and Pitchfork Media, Skream’s music started to take on a more melodic sound, less overtly influenced by darker passions and more dub, house and even jazz instead. The 2005 Skream track “Midnight Request Line” has been described as “dubstep’s most recognisable crossover hit” and has been praised far and wide.
Skream has released records on a variety of UK labels, such as Tempa, Tectonic and Big Apple, including a self-titled album on Tempa. He’s done a number of tracks with Niall Henshaw, also known as Spectrum.
He has performed throughout Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and Japan as well as in the UK. His well known tracks include dance-floor fillers such as “Angry”, “Colourful” and a remix of La Roux’s “In for the Kill” featured on television’s “Entourage”. He has worked with many big-name artists. In addition to La Roux, he’s produced for and collaborated with Kelis, Miles Kane and Chromeo, as well as Katy B and John Legend as part of Magnetic Man.
While his side project with Magnetic Man sees phenomenal success in the dubstep scene, his collaboration with Benga resulted in another groundbreaking weekly Rinse FM show, “The Skream and Benga Show”, which began in April last year.
Adegbenga Adejumo, or Benga as we know him, is also from Croydon. As a boy he used to hang out at the Big Apple record shop in his hometown and make his own tunes at home on PlayStation. The tunes caught the attention of dubstep producer Hatcha, who worked at the shop, and by the age of 15 Benga had made his first record, “Skank”, released on Big Apple. He was also one of the first dubstep producers when the style was emerging in the early 2000s.
Benga has been featured on a variety of compilations including Mary Anne Hobbs’ “Warrior Dubz”, Tempa’s “The Roots of Dubstep” and the BBC Radio 1Xtra anniversary mix. Benga is also noted for using acoustic drums on some songs, including “Live Drums” and “Evolution”.
Benga released the cross-over anthem “Night” with DMZ’s Coki in early 2008, followed by his second album, “Diary of an Afro Warrior”, both on Tempa. Resident Advisor describes it as “one of the most anticipated LPs in dubstep yet”.
