No conversation about dubstep's rise and origins is complete without Skream & Benga. From Skreamizm and Diary of an Afro Warrior to revolutionary underground anthems like "Midnight Request Line" and "Night," the duo helped define the sound and spirit of an entire movement – and took it global.
Now, after more than a decade, the South London trailblazers are back in the studio together. Following hints of a new album earlier this year, their first original joint release of the digital era has arrived: "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait" – and it delivers. Listen below.
Available in both "main" and "raw" versions, the track is a masterclass in tension and release, with billowing lows, serrated textures, monstrous drum work, and the track's repetitive mantra that hits home while reinforcing the track's power. The energy is wild, the chemistry is real, and the message is simple: they never really left – they've just been building towards this moment and evolution.
Catch them this summer at Parklife, Glastonbury, and Dour Festival – and don't miss the track that marks a historic moment in electronic music's ongoing evolution.
