One of my favourite recent dubstep tunes by the powerhouse that is Magnetic Man (Skream, Benga, and Artwork) has been covered by TBW pop favourites Primary 1 – and they made a video featuring and guitar, a cello, and a sleeping bag on a rooftop in Dalston.

Interesting reinterpretation of the song–just love the original so much that it’s hard to stand up against it.
Yeah I know what you mean, the original is one hell of a song – but Primary 1 have taken it in a whole new direction with the cover so I don’t think it detracts like many covers do.
This is definitely cool but once you hear a song so many times, it’s really hard to hear it any other way. Props though, it’s good!
