A large box of dubplates would go down better

exactly.no one (except maybe quest) is doing this rootsy reggae stuff.
i would smoke meth through my nose for a whole reggae style album from the man.

there're a few others doin it besides quest:
ironsoul
walsh
benga?
coki
mala
hijak
matty g
zomby
whoever remixed that richie spice track??

skream is definitely championing the reggae vibes, and i hope more producers will ease up on the darkness as well.

Yes, maybe there's more people doin reggae-alike stuff, but sure nobody else got that close to that typical, distinct Skream's sound, I mean, when you hear one of those tunes you can be sure to think "wow, that's one of the new Skream's" having no doubt. That doesn't happen with his darker beats, IMHO.

Maybe Hijak gets close to that, and even Benga sometimes, but no one else got that own special unmistakable sound (at least with the reggae influenced sound), and that's why I find it so original. Anyway, I'm sure whatever he'll release we'll like it

Groovin' is amazing !
