London producer Aaron Jerome built the SBTRKT project around anonymity and live energy, performing behind tribal masks and treating his studio constructions as starting points for something more visceral. Released in 2011, this debut pulled together collaborators including Sampha and Jessie Ware at early points in their careers, grounding UK electronic music in soul and rhythm in ways that would ripple outward for years. 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." Tracklist Side A 1.
