Southampton-based producer and selector Skeptic has enjoyed a steady rise over the past 12 months, with his tunes receiving support from Ben UFO, Call Super, Girls Don’t Sync and speed garage sensations Dr Dubplate, Interplanetary Criminal and Main Phase. The ec2a affiliate, while known for his 2-step and four-four garage productions, has also delved into his amen bag with ‘Escapism Dub (Junglism Mix)’ and, more recently, combined the funky, moving genre of dabke with a hard-hitting log drum for ‘Dabke Falastini’, with all proceeds going towards humanitarian aid for the people of Palestine. As a selector, Skeptic joined IPC on the London leg of his Most Wanted tour, performed at the ec2a x Keep Hush Love Saves The Day festival stage and completed his first London headline show last year. The next 12 months is set to be even bigger with the young DJ and producer’s first Boiler Room lined up at the end of January, where Skeptic will be joined by Ahadadream, Benga, Skream and fellow rising stars Bakey and SILVA BUMPA, numerous sought-after productions on the way, and a slot at the 2024 edition of Outlook Origins in Tisno.
