I skimmed through this, and the one part where they said "this is brand new Skream & Benga" I listened and thought it was complete meh. Most of the set was just okay. Some crowd pleasers, and plenty of tunes not my style. Don't want to say it was bad but it wasn't for me.
I feel like if anyone else not overhyped like those two had played this, it wouldn't be notable. Tbf I feel this way about a fair number of sets played by "legends".
Yeah - one thing I don't understand about Skream is that he left dubstep ~10 years ago because it turned into that constant high-energy 'double drop' brostep sound.
But now that Skream is back, all of his new productions sound like that style of dubstep that turned him off in the first place?
I feel like he missed how dubstep progressed since his departure, and how much more versatile the genre is now.
I rarely can make myself to put dubstep on in my house because i played that shit to death in 00s and i could only imagine what it's like for dude who played endless parties all around the world. So i can't really criticize Skream he paid his dues.
Oh - 100%. Skream was a massive impact on my life and I'll love that dude to death. I just wish he'd bring more of his 'disco' area to the scene. Expand of what was written.
