Skream rang in 2015 by signing to Crosstown Rebels. He'll release his first album for five years via Damian Lazarus' respected imprint and, in turn, complete his much talked about evolution from dubstep originator to fully-fledged house and techno artist.
Details about the LP are limited right now: it's untitled and still a work in progress, but we do know that there will be some vocalists on there and Skream is adamant that it won't contain any attempts at a crossover hit ("It's not a world for me," he says, having scaled the heights of the Top 40 back in the day). What's also clear is that lead single 'Still Lemonade' is a reflection of Skream's current interest in physical, evocative, journeying dance music and an indicator of his new album's direction and atmosphere.
It's released later this month and opens a new chapter in the 28-year-old's long-running career. As clichéd as that sounds, it's true. Skream began DJing aged 11 and started to produce tracks not long after. He became a key player in the dubstep movement as a teenager and the sound's explosion turned him into an internationally renowned star in his early twenties. But at the height of his fame he decided to rip it all up and start again, plunging head first into the worlds of house and techno. In 2013 he released a mix CD as part of Pete Tong's ongoing 'Miami' series, a carefully selected mission statement letting fans know where he was at and, more importantly, where he was headed. The switch has been relatively painless, bar delusional fans who still ask for 'Midnight Request Line' and a nasty misquote in the Daily Star. In '15 Skream stands tall, with everything to work (and play) for once again.
We've got the first official play of 'Still Lemonade'.
