The SBTRKT man is back. Following up his first track in two years (the Dream collaboration “Good Morning”) which first emerged online only on Tuesday, SBTRKT hits the gas once more with new stream “I Feel Your Pain”. The track, which features world’s greatest backronym D(oes) R(eal) A(ss) M(usic) and exciting newcomer and daughter of Neneh Cherry Mabel, strides a cool line of inventive arranging with an undeniable pop sense and quality. Welcome back, SBTRKT.
SBTRKT is back with another fantastic single featuring the soulful baritone of Sampha. The duo have been writing and creating internet faves for some time now and “Temporary View” is does not stray too far in quality from those past hits. SBTRKT’s beat and synths stylings are right on point (“Temporary View” appeared earlier in the year on SBTRKT’s instrumental “Transitions” EP) ; while Sampha’s lyrics and crooning beautifully weave right through what is hopefully a preview of more to come (new album?) for the London producer.

Oxford, UK artist Lewis Watson dials up a sweet & immediate rendition of SBTRKT’s “Hold On”; styling the song’s smooth soul-driven melodies into something a bit rougher & a bit more vigorous while still retaining it’s heartfulness. The “Hold On” cover is excerpted from Watson’s upcoming “The Wild” EP, which will see release a month from today on March 26.

Labrinth rolled through Zane Lowe’s Maida Vale studio yesterday and in addition to laying down ace live versions of “Last Time” and “Sweet Riot” dropped this great take on SBTRKT’s “Wildfire” jam from last year. Lab starts the cover slow on the roll with smooth electronics and subtle bass wobbles only to blow the track up in its final half with big guitars and heavy rock drums. Somehow it all works. Get a sample below.

Much like our girl V. Williams, Thom Yorke always knows how to “save the best for last”. The final installment in the King of Limbs remix series finds one of the hottest electronic musicians in the world right now remixing KOL‘s easily best track (read: only listenable). It’s SBTRKT, it’s Radiohead, it’s “Lotus Flower”, and it’s live on b3sci.

Holy shit. Yeah, we can’t say we saw this coming. Drumma Boy(!) grabs Shabazz Palaces (who knew they were bros?) for what can only be described as one of our favorite remixes of the year thusfar. Press play and just throw that shit on repeat.

Paper Diamond plays it tight in the opening few bits on his remix for SBTRKT and Yukimi Nagano’s “Wildfire” suiting up the track on some polite enough 808’s; but from the first moment the first couple wobbles drop into the track you know PD is absolutely not playing. He is going for it all. He’s going for a serious mix. Play the serious mix.

Looks like our guy SBTRKT has a possible crossover jam on his hands here! “Living Like I Do”s got all the right ingredients; cool vocal hooks, an edge yet accessible rhythm track, and a nice overall feel good quality. “Hottest Record in the World” on Zane Lowe last week is likely only the beginning.

UPDATE: still like it if you wish, but note… according to Crookers this remix is a “fake”. lame.

SBTRKT collaborator Fabiana Palladino links up with another SBTRKT pal Sampha for minimalist indie pop of “For You”. Producer Sampha is stylistically present on “For You” in the track’s soulful visceral quality and its more adventurous arrangement choices with Fabiana’s R&B-y but restrained vocal (this is not another singer trying to duplicate Jessie Ware) the track’s star attraction. “For You” is forthcoming on the great Double Denim Records.
