  • Skream, Benga and Artwork will release their debut album as Magnetic Man this October on Columbia. The self-described "coolest pop act" of the year has only released one official 12-inch so far, but they've managed to make waves nonetheless, playing live at many of Europe's biggest festivals and landing on the cover of NME. Their collective sound tends to be a bit different from what each producer does solo, bringing trance-inspired chords and poppy vocals to their characteristically heavy dubstep beats. Their self-title debut features a number of high-profile guest appearances, like Grammy Award-winner John Legend and pop vocalist Angela Hunte, who has previously worked with Alicia Keys and P. Diddy. The record's first single, "I Need Air," is due for release next week on Columbia. Tracklist 01. Flying Into Tokyo 02. Fire feat. Ms Dynamite 03. I Need Air feat. Angela Hunte 04. Anthemic 05.
