Magnetic Man is an English electronic music project from London, consisting of dubstep producers and DJs Benga, Skream and Artwork (previously known as Menta). The trio first met in the late 1990s at the Big Apple Records store in Croydon.[1] They performed using three computers, one playing drum samples, one playing basses and the third playing leads and other samples.[2] Artwork controlled the master laptop, to which the other two are synchronized via MIDI. Their sets usually consisted of a mix of original tracks produced together, and live remixes of Benga and Skream's tracks, accompanied by synchronized projected visuals by Novak Collective.[3][4] They signed to Columbia Records in 2010. Magnetic Man completed their first full-length sellout tour on 5 November 2010.[5] Their self-titled debut studio album, Magnetic Man, was released through Sony by Columbia Records on 10 October 2010.[6]
