Skepsis

Scott Elliott Jenkins, known professionally as Skepsis, is an English producer and DJ from Beckenham, London. Within the drum and bass/jungle strand of his work he focuses on drum and bass and related liquid-leaning sounds, while his career roots sit firmly in the UK bassline scene.

Jenkins began DJing as a teenager in and around south-east London and first made a commercial release with the single "Goes Like" in January 2017. He co‑curated and co‑released the compilation Pure Bassline 2 alongside DJ Q and Jamie Duggan; that compilation reached No. 2 on the UK Dance Albums Chart. In October 2021 he issued the album Faith in Chaos. After relocating to Liverpool he moved more visibly into drum and bass, releasing the 2023 single "Rave Out" with Turno and Charlotte Plank, which reached No. 37 on the UK Singles Chart, and appearing on 2024’s "Green & Gold" with Rudimental and Riko Dan, which reached No. 29 on the UK Singles Chart.

Musically, Skepsis carries bassline’s club-first mentality into his drum and bass output. Across releases and collaborations he emphasizes strong low-end and hook-forward arrangements: pitched, club-weight sub and mid-bass patterns borrowed from bassline and UK garage sit alongside faster DnB drum patterns when he works at 170 bpm. His productions favour bold chorus or vocal-led moments — most visibly on "Rave Out" with Charlotte Plank — paired with compact, remix-friendly arrangements that translate from radio edits to larger club or festival systems.

As a producer and DJ Skepsis operates between tempo and texture. On record he sequences concise, commercially minded tracks built around vocal hooks and heavy bass motifs; as a DJ he has a history of moving between bassline, UK garage and heavier bass music, taking the swung, syncopated phrasing of bassline into tighter drum and bass mixes. That crossover approach shows in his selections and edits: tracks that can sit on a bass-heavy club PA but also slot into a drum and bass set when the tempo rises.

Key career milestones are concrete. "Goes Like" (January 2017) marks his first single. Pure Bassline 2 (co‑released with DJ Q and Jamie Duggan) reached No. 2 on the UK Dance Albums Chart and positioned him within the contemporary bassline canon. Faith in Chaos (October 2021) collected a range of his work across bass-focused styles. The 2023 single "Rave Out" (with Turno and Charlotte Plank) and the 2024 feature on "Green & Gold" (Rudimental feat. Riko Dan) document his move into drum and bass and brought him broader chart visibility (UK Singles Chart No. 37 and No. 29 respectively).

Collaborations have been a clear part of Skepsis’s trajectory. Working with DJ Q and Jamie Duggan on Pure Bassline 2 tied him to established bassline figures. Teaming with Turno and Charlotte Plank opened his profile in drum and bass; appearing alongside Rudimental and Riko Dan placed him on a major single in 2024. Those partnerships underline a practical pattern in his career: collaborative, club-directed releases built to work across radio, streaming playlists and the club floor.

Public biographical sources emphasise his Beckenham origins, early start as a teenage DJ, and the specific releases and chart placements listed above. Beyond those documented facts, detailed public statements about other personal influences or production techniques are limited; the record of singles, the 2021 album Faith in Chaos, the Pure Bassline 2 compilation, and the charting 2023–24 singles form the clearest evidence of his musical development and current focus.
