Croydon's dubstep boy wonder SKREAM makes his Irish debut with a late show in Crawdaddy, June 8.

Some say that this scrawny young scamp is the saviour of this genre, the kid who will step it up to a larger audience. His Skreamism Volumes 1, 2 and 3 double-pack vinyl releases have marked his territory as one of the sharpest technical dubstep producers in the biz who injects his scrambled bass sounds with all the trappings of a warped teenage mind.

The Skream! debut album, released late last year on the rampant Tempa label is a banquet of styles and influences all filtered through Olli Jones' intense approach.

As an underground movement, dubstep was the toast of 2006, as grime was to 2005. Albums by Burial, Kode 9 and Olli’s own outstanding full-length Skream debut have brought this dark brooding music to the brink of a significant crossover, helped along by coverage in style mags and patronage by the BBC’s Mary Ann Hobbs and the essential Rinse FM.

Dubstep’s other original home base was the Big Apple record shop [and record label] in Croydon. It was here that young Olli Jones rubbed shoulders with the producers and DJs that would help activate his own creative impulses. Jones’ brother [jungle/dubstep producer] Hijak worked in the jungle department and through him he got to know another employee, the legendary DJ Hatcha, as well as notable producers El-B, Benny Ill, and Artwork.

SKREAM's fascination began early: “I remember I used to sneak into my brother’s room and play his jungle tapes and I used to think it was a load of noise. It’s part of growing up innit, music. I was sort of different to everyone else in my school because they all listened to all the crews like Pay As You Go and all the old garage crews like Heartless. Although I did listen to that stuff, I always had more of a passion for underground instrumental music. I started DJing when I was about 11 or 12. I always had an ear for dark instrumental music. I met Benny Ill from Horsepower early on and I remember going back to his studio with Hatcha and just sitting there watching them make tunes. That was exactly what I wanted to be doing."

Taking a break from work on his forthcoming full length release, Alphabet Set co head honcho, Rootical Soundsystem selector and Raidio na Life DJ will be rolling out some of his own bassbin rattling dubwise beats with a healthy dose of dancehall and hip hop chuckled in for good measure.

We are very honoured and excited to have DJ GARY from Dublin’s last bastion of underground pirate radio, Power FM. Expect the unexpected.
