Mix: SBTRKT BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix

When Londoner Aaron Jerome dons them African native-inspired masks, he transforms into DJ-producer SBTRKT. In a self-preferential state of anonymity, Jerome’s masked crusader rides along the current state of post-dubstep and sits on the parapet of sound with recent favorites Jamie Woon and James Blake. Though he doesn’t sing, his production qualities have gotten along well with vocalists like Sampha and Little Dragon’s Yukimi Nagano as heard on his recently released self-titled debut album.

So it was about time that he got his 2-hour shot on BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix since his tunes have already been going around on heavy rotation in other stations like BBC Radio 6. Mixing up his own tunes and an unreleased track “Runaway,” SBTRKT also included songs from Tinie Tempah, Radiohead, Flying Lotus and even Masters At Work. This is a whirlwind trip into the depths of the current wave of electronic music.
