Magnetic Man is a pioneering electronic music project formed by three heavyweights of the UK dubstep scene—Benga, Skream, and Artwork. The collaboration emerged from the South London dubstep scene and revolutionized the genre by bringing it to live audiences with a full sound system experience. Coming together officially in 2007, the trio embraces the name Magnetic Man and soon becomes synonymous with the burgeoning dubstep movement, pushing it into the mainstream consciousness.
The group's self-titled debut album, "Magnetic Man," released in 2010, is a testament to their groundbreaking approach, blending traditional production techniques with an arsenal of live performance tools. The album features a variety of guest vocalists and spawned several hit singles, including the atmospheric "I Need Air," which became an anthem in the dance music community, and "Perfect Stranger," a collaborative effort with rising star Katy B that showcased the group's ability to mix soulful vocals with heavy bass lines. Other notable tracks like "Anthemic" and the thought-provoking "Getting Nowhere," which featured the smooth vocals of Grammy-winning artist John Legend, confirm their versatility and influence. Despite their brief period of releases, Magnetic Man has left an indelible mark on electronic music, inspiring many artists who follow the digital pathways they helped pave.
