Listenin to the Records on My Wall

“Listenin' To The Records On My Wall, the first single from Skream's second album on Tempa—the much anticipated and highly acclaimed 'Outside The Box'—has long been in demand and is now finally being released on vinyl / digital. 'Listenin To The Records On My Wall' is the perfect introduction to why Skream's current level of success is just the beginning. It's a joyful, ragingly energetic celebration of the last quarter decade of British street music, inspired by the hardcore and jungle records used by his older brother Hijak who was part of Grooverider's Internatty Crew. It's also a brilliant pop record that makes perfect sense to everyone who grew up surrounded by the breaks and beats of the 1990s – and to those who didn't. The track has received massive radio support from the likes of Zane Lowe (Hottest Record In The World), Annie Mac, Mary Anne Hobbs and more, and is a key part of Skream's worldwide DJ sets. The B-side, Give You Everything (feat. Freckles), is a slice of 2-step garage perfection, with chopped vocals and an unforgettable hook from Freckles. Accompanying Listenin' To The Records On My Wall is a music video—directed by David Wilson for BlinkInk—telling the story of Adam's first encounter with Eve in the Garden of Eden. The video features a remarkable array of physical effects, claymation and a rarely seen technique called Strata Cut that has to be seen to be believed.
