RIPE Summer Day Party

Skeptic

Southampton-based speed garage sensation, Skeptic, exploded onto the scene at the beginning of 2023 when his ec2a dubplate ‘Doin’ Nish’ / ‘Bumpa’ sold out within minutes. Despite being a central part of the new wave of speed garage artists tearing through UK sound systems, Amara is keen to not be labelled as strictly a UKG artist. His debut ec2a release refracted a multitude of sounds from the hardcore continuum, and although his DJ Mag Ones To Watch BBC Radio 1 Dance mix - which is made up entirely of his own productions - is rooted in UKG and its speedier offshoot, it also takes in motifs from 2-step, breaks, dubstep and beyond.
