Skream
Musical artist

Skream (born Ollie Jones) is a "high-profile" 21 year-old dubstep producer from Croydon. He began producing music at the age of 15 (using Fruity Loops) and has worked on roughly 1,500 songs. As a teenager he worked at Big Apple, a Croydon record store that was at the center of the early dubstep scene; Hatcha, the first DJ to play his dubplates, was a coworker.The Guardian described him as being part of "the hardcore of original dubstep producers," while Martin Clark (writing in Pitchfork) stated that he has "played a pivotal role in the progression of dubstep." His 2005 song "Midnight Request Line" has been described as "dubstep's most recognizable crossover hit" and praised by producers from Wiley to Ricardo Villalobos; the key change in the chorus has been credited as being largely responsible for introducing a more melodic sound to the dubstep genre

Skream has released records on a variety of UK record labels, such as Tempa, Tectonic, and Big Apple Records, including a self titled album on the Tempa label. He has performed in Europe, the US, Australia, and Japan, as well as the UK.
