Magnetic Man Announces New Single With John Legend

• 18th Jan 2011

'Getting Nowhere', featuring John Legend, is the new single from Magnetic Man aka Skream, Benga and Artwork. Fresh from a hugely successful 2010, which saw the release of their eponymous album smashing into the UK Album Charts top five, the Croydon three-piece are back.

'Getting Nowhere' is released on February 21st (Columbia). Filmed on location in London, the video – dropping very soon – features a cameo from John Legend and is an alternative take on the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse, this time on two wheels rather than horseback. Watch out for remixes from Breakage, Yoruba Soul and Skream himself.

Three of Dubstep’s major players responsible for propelling the sound of Croydon bass culture onto the worldwide stage, Magnetic Man will be supplying the NME Awards Tour with their sublime and mind blowing live show in February. They will join Crystal Castles, Everything Everything and The Vaccines on a full tour of the UK.

Skream on the eclectic bill: “I think it's gonna work. It's kind of a sign of the times. You go to a club night now and you no longer have one-genre crowds, it's better for everyone and makes it more exciting.”
