Skream (born Oliver Jones in West Wickham, Bromley, UK.) is a 21 year-old dubstep producer based in Croydon. One of dubstep's first and most prominent producers, he has played an important role in the genre's development. Benga, real name Beni Uthman, is a dubstep music producer from Croydon, and is part of the Big Apple Records label. He has been described as an important name in the development of the dubstep style for his fusion of the already existing South London dubstep sound with the newer East London born grime sound, and was also one of the first dubstep producers when the style was emerging in the early 2000s. He has been featured on a variety of compilations including Mary Anne Hobbs's The Warrior Dubz, Tempa's The Roots of Dubstep and the BBC 1Xtra anniversary mix. Benga is also noted for using acoustic drums on some songs, including "Live Drums" and "Evolution".
