Skream Speaks on the American Dubstep Scene, Sam Frank, and Appreciating Music

Back in December of 2012, we got a chance to speak with Skream backstage before his Webster Hall set regarding a number of topics, from the American perception of dubstep and the rise of trap to working the Sam Frank and appreciating what's out there in the music scene. With his recent words about playing his last dubstep show (for the time being), it's important to know that he's not just coming to a wild conclusion, nor that he dislikes dubstep, thinks it's dead, or anything of the sort.

Skream is one of the most important figures within the dubstep scene, and the latest wave of UK bass music. He's a world-traveling DJ, acclaimed producer, and radio host, and is known for speaking his mind. DAD has been following his work since before the release of his debut album, back when "dubstep" as a term was growing in the UK. It's great to see his progression as an artist and a DJ, moving from primarily dubstep to the old school influence he's thrown in his tracks to going deep into house and disco in his sets and production.
