Magnetic Man, My Unhealthy Obsession.

Who is Magnetic Man?
          Ever since I moved to Cal this fall, Magnetic Man has been an obsession of mine. None of their tracks seem to disappoint me. I guess that's what happens when you have a collaboration of dubstep producers/DJs, Benga, Skream, and Artwork. These three artists have been named “legends of the dubstep genre,” with reason. They perform using three computers: first playing drum samples, second playing basses, and the third playing leads and samples.

          Magnetic Man is trying to take dubstep into the mainstream. However, this is path from the underground to the mainstream is risky. Often record labels do not know how to sell the music or original fans getting antsy about their heroes “selling out”. Their first album, “Magnetic Man”, was released on October 11th, 2010 on Columbia Records. It features vocals provided by different guest vocalists, such as Katy B and Ms. Dynamite. Magnetic Man has reached relatively high standing within charts in the Belgium, Denmark, and particularly the UK.
