- The dubstep pioneers will share the decks at parties across the continent this fall.
- Next month, Skream and Benga will set out on a co-headlining tour across the US and Canada. Few artists have had more impact on the development of dubstep than Skream and Benga. Beginning with their first studio releases together on Big Apple Records, the two childhood friends have spent the better part of the last decade pushing a distinctively bass-heavy sound that's expanded far from its London roots and into the minds of dance music fans from around the globe. Together with Artwork, they make up the trio Magnetic Man, which dropped its debut long-player last year. The upcoming North American gigs will see them join forces behind the decks. The tour starts in Chicago on Wednesday, October 19th at The Mid, which hosted the duo earlier this year; that weekend also includes stops in Minneapolis, Toronto and New York City. The following weekend will see Skream and Benga head west for two parties in Alberta, Canada followed by a night in Los Angeles. The final co-headlining appearance is set for Halloween Monday, October 31st in Denver, after which Benga will do four solo gigs in the Midwest and Southeast portions of the US.
