Skream

Oliver Dene Jones (born 1 June 1986), known professionally as Skream, is an English electronic music producer based in Croydon.

On occasion he attended FWD, a club night that was first hosted at the Velvet Rooms but later moved to Plastic People in Shoreditch.

One of his first solo singles, 2005's "Midnight Request Line," has been credited as a key factor in the evolution of a more melodic sound in the dubstep music.

[10] In 2006, after producing several singles, he released his first full-length album, Skream!, considered to be one of the more influential entries in the early dubstep period.

On 2 October 2008 Skream featured in a fly-on-the-wall German TV show Durch die Nacht mit … alongside drum and bass artist Goldie.

Writing for The Guardian in 2009, music journalist Tim Jonze attributed the success of La Roux's single "In for the Kill" to Skream's remix, "Let's Get Ravey".

[20] Later that year, further commercial success was seen through the release of Magnetic Man, the debut album under the live electronic music project with fellow dubstep pioneers Benga and Artwork.

In addition to La Roux, he has produced for and collaborated with the likes of Kelis, Miles Kane, and Chromeo,[23] as well as Katy B and John Legend as part of Magnetic Man.

In response to his success, Jones launched his Skreamizm tour to offer himself a change of pace from arena and festival performances, opting to play three-hour sets in small clubs.
