SBTRKT


South London based producer SBTRKT announced his self-titled full-length debut on June 28 via Young Turks.

SBTRKT (pronounced “subtract”) has recently left his imprint on UK music by seamlessly fusing Detroit Techno, Berlin Electro and classic 2-Step into the thriving London Dubstep scene – although this masked man fits comfortably in any category he wishes to occupy. While massively prolific, a minimalist ethos runs through the work and style of SBTRKT, not just in the name but in the precision of the sonics and arrangements. He has done remixes for M.I.A., Modeselektor & Basement Jaxx, and has previously released 2 EPs via Young Turks (Soundboy Shift & Step In Shadows).

While he has had multiple releases in single and EP forms, this is SBTRKT’s first full-length, and about that he says “This release is the culmination of a longer period of constant writing and collaboration, tracks on previous EPs were written as singular pieces. This record is much more of a whole project, more representative of my thoughts and ideas as an artist and each track was completed with the aim to be coherent together.”
