The 10 best tracks to make you feel like it's '99, according to Skream

Whether you know Skream from his early days as one of dubstep's most prolific producers or as the bill-topping house and disco don-dada of recent times, there's no denying his ability to craft a good track or blow a couple thousand minds on the dancefloor.

Growing up in '90s and '00s London, Skream's been privy to some of the city's most important musical movements, and from grime to UKG, dubstep, and back again, they've all helped to form his diverse musical palette. For most of us, 1999 was the cherry on the cake of a hedonistic decade: Prince had been hyping it up since the early '80s, and when it finally rolled around there was millennium bug hysteria and people were still listening to Limp Bizkit. The young Skream, however, was making roads in pirate radio and getting ready to make his own mark on the London scene. Fast forward 18 years and he's is deep in his 'Open To Close' tour around Europe, so, to mark the upcoming dates across the UK and beyond, we got Skream to put together a bumpin' playlist of turn-of-the-century tracks that'll make you feel like it's 1999 all over again – from the original party starting anthem Rip Groove through to the 'ladies go free' sound of DHL's Favourite Girl.

Read through Skream's selections below, and take yourself back to '99 with the YouTube playlist.
