Skream & Benga Interview - a Last.fm/Presents Exclusive

Exclusive interview with Skream & Benga at Last.fm/Presents at Massive Attack's Meltdown in London.

[@sashasol_mtl]

Just saw SKREAM and BENGA live in Montreal, Canada... amazing!!!

[@konradbeatz0375]

Real pioneers of dubstep!!

[@kedaiapps]

Listened to your tracks..they are good.. well done.

[@mikechaulk]

i was there too. it was so fucking good and a chanting march of cheers through the metro stations.

[@SwatbotDubstep]

Skream started out the same way I did! I saw my friend using Fruity Loops and I wanted to mess around with it. Ended up staying up for days just making random shit, and now I've got a couple songs. And this all started around a month ago.

[@SH0CK3I2]

HOLY shit, I loved Music 2000 back in the day!

[@Ghastlia]

@SABTERROR Gabba has nothing to do with the origins of Dubstep, it comes from Reggae and Garage. I lol'd at your comment.

[@almightyjass]

they appreciate other good music- but know what is shit- love it! its true that anyone can like dubstep- iv played it fucking loud when my mums visited and she loved it!

[@sashasol_mtl]

Yeah that was awesome! In the train, then when everyone got off at Berri and even at Jean-Talon metro :) People with pink and green Piknic bracelets, cheering and skreaming :)

[@Zombbg4]

I love these two dudes. If I was a cancer kid and had one last wish it'd be to party with Skream and Benga for a night.

[@BrokenBeats94]

Its really put down by producers I think but I think its underrated as DAW, its just so user friendly and easy to get your ideas across really quickly. It's powerful but simple.

[@duffman18]

What are you talking about? Fruity Loops? Yeah I don't get why people hate on it. It's fine, you can make great music with it. Maybe it's too "beginner" for some people but that's not a bad thing if it means more musicians are created.

[@samhblackmore]

I want to watch a documentary following Skream's life

[@gumdrops27]

They have a good point. I sure know that I would be bored to shit if there was no music. Music is my drug.

[@lilbigman777]

1:39

[@Grzsn_goes_brrr]

[@AsekOneTV]

@BGthedrummer Get the best of both worlds and rewire Reason in FL. I'm running that with Native Instruments' Massive and believe me it's soooooooo good!

[@hutch007ful]

[@navelolol]

[@bubnjarovski]

2:52 He was about to say breakcore, but than he remembered that benga is in Planet Mu label with Venetian Snares, Hrvatski, Bong-Ra, Duran Duran Duran,and all other breakcore bastards;)

[@IFLUiiD]

[@dinosaursxarexcool]

[@Bradderz199]

Gabba, breakcore= all the awesome dutch versions of our crap like dougal and gammer, darren styles

[@youllneverguessitsme]

@LostInTheRush couple of songs

[@SwatbotDubstep]

@ArsenalDave04 999 was an exageration, it's more around 150-220... it still sucks, though.

[@RyanPridgeon]

Haha, my first memory of making music was Music 2000 on the Playstation aswell

[@callumtoenail]

i got that music 2000 game on playstation

[@titlex1]

cool

[@JonRios]

@navelolol so is benga

[@dontlookspins]

Gabba kind of hurts my ears, but I fucking love breakcore. Especially Venetian Snares.

[@SammNStuff42]

Benga has square thumbs

[@Analoguebubblebath89]

Hi

[@BGthedrummer]

Fl is good but i

[@Amoncaco]

gabba aint 999 BPM... that's fucking splittercore/extratone

[@duffman18]

Are you seriously unaware of _hyperbole?_ And how you can use hyperbole to make a _JOKE?_ Don't be a daft git.

[@velourea]

can hardly understand anything in this quality

[@GazaFloatilla]

[@IFLUiiD]

[@FattMattVideos]

YESSS skream is right about gabba, eurotrance and metal screamo stuff!!!!! hate it too !!!!!!!!! WORRA LOAD O BOLLOCKS!

[@UKCodeRed]

Dramatic zoom 1:15

[@EpicHaxThriller]

I agree. Music is part of life and without it life would be dull and bleak. I love music. I listen to everything (except that shit country music). My tast in music ranges from Classical all they way to Techno. But Dubstep is my favorite >:D Benga and Skream along with Coki are probably the best out there.

[@djoxygenmusic]

GABBER.... G A B B E R ! ! !

[@tezinnit]

@Badl2ussian check out neophyte or dj skinhead.

[@joshwillis4787]

Defiantly a few gurn spots ive noticed ;)

[@ArsenalDave04]

999 bpm?!?!? thats just stupid!

[@AlexTheAverageKid]

999bpm is speedcore, not gabber xD they do sound similar, but speedcore is just basically gabber on crack... real gabber is only on average about 180bpm.

[@iamjuliandon]

I Know!11!elf elf! Listen 2 di interview olo rolf

[@PaperSkinMusic]

hahahaha!!! i have gabba tattooed on my stomach! it really aint for everyone tho eh?

[@Grzsn_goes_brrr]

[@tangoxp]

[@Ghostintheshell3551]

[@hvrryb]

@bubnjarovski breakcore makes me wanna be sick.

[@LostInTheRush]

Who the fuck is listens to gabba?

[@nickshel]

FL is god.

[@yyyboy]

So this is what made so many people go to hardcore videos and post shit. Don´t like it don´t listen to it. It´s an aquired taste ;)

[@samnewby]

hear hear on the gabba! it sucks allll about the dubstep

[@MistaMase102]

no, FL is software.

[@techweenie1]

th = f

[@vague-rant666]

@AlexTheAverageKid good thing nobody cares.

[@TheBroDotTV]

im not really a fan of gabba. breakcore/ragga jungle is good though but i don't really listen to it much now.

[@BrokenBeats94]

Gabba is bollocks though, too fast, too much BOOM BOOM BOOM. Drumstep is drum and bass and dubstep, gabba doesn't come in to it.

[@gumdrops27]

I agree with Skream I tried listening to gabba and speedcore and it's just pointless. It's garbage.

[@FriskMeister392]

Meh, black metal is awesome. They make good music tho

[@BassDubs]

breakcore is just as bad as gabba

[@DarthTadII]

*good
