Watch: Skream looks back at 20 years of Skream!

Skream and Plastician reflect on the making of the revered 2006 album.

Skream revisits his self-titled debut album for a special 20th anniversary listening session at The Listening Room in 180 Studios.

Joined by longtime friend and fellow Croydon producer Plastician, Skream looks back on the making of Skream!, from his early experiments with production software to the unexpected success of “Midnight Request Line” and the record's iconic artwork.

During the session, Skream recalls making "Midnight Request Line" on Christmas Day in his mum's bedroom and initially struggling to find DJs willing to play it.

"I never thought that you could have one tune that would take you so many places," he says. "It literally changed my life."

Elsewhere, the pair discuss the influence of Digital Mystikz, Timbaland and early production software on the album's sound, along with the multiple versions of "Rutten" and the story behind the record's artwork, photographed at Leeds West Indian Centre.
