Track: Frank Ocean-‘Whip Appeal (SBTRKT Edit)’

Frank Ocean.  AND SBTRKT! This is absolutely unreal, everything about it. SBTRKT adds a chilled out beat to an already chilled out vocal. These guys were fucking made for each other.

Track: SBTRKT-‘Surely’

New SBTRKT man! That’s all that needs to be said. This is a bonus track from his terrific self-titled record from last year. It could have fitted in perfectly with those tracks, the epic drum beat in the background the only difference.

The Top 20 Tracks Of 2011 Number: 20

Number 20: SBTRKT-Wildfire [Featuring Little Dragon]

SBTRKT has remixed a wide range of artists, such as Radiohead, Mark Ronson, MIA and Underworld, so it is no surprise that his self-titled debut features many influences. ‘Wildfire’ is a smooth slice of chill-wave electronica that builds slowly.  Yukimi Nagano of Little Dragon provides the perfect vocal for this track, fragile and soft.
