Magnetic
Man
Magnetic Man is an electronic music project consisting of dubstep
producers and DJs, Benga, Skream and Artwork. The trio first
met in the late 1990s at the Big Apple Records store in Croydon,
England. They perform using three computers, one playing drum
samples, one playing basses and the third playing leads and samples.[1]
Artwork controls the master laptop, to which the other two are
synchronised via MIDI.[citation needed] Their sets usually consist
of a mix of original tracks produced together, and live remixes
of Benga and Skream's tracks, accompanied by synchronised projected
visuals by Novak Collective.[2] They signed to Columbia Records
in February 2010. Magnetic Man completed their first full length
sellout tour on 5 November 2010.[3] Their eponymous debut studio
album, Magnetic Man was released through Sony by Columbia Records
on 10 October 2010.[4]
