SBTRKT's 2014 album Wonder Where We Land was impressive in its eclecticism, somehow able to house Raury, Sampha, Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig and A$AP Ferg under the same roof. What seemed to be missing, though, were instrumental cuts that were purely batshit without making any concessions for big-name guests. Thankfully, that's exactly what "FLAREtWO," a new one-off shared by the British producer on SoundCloud, is.
Combining a beat that's equal parts drum n bass, jungle and juke with some wonky synths, SBTRKT throws us right into the fray on this mind-bending five minute epic. Make sure to catch one of his DJ sets if you get the chance, this sounds like it would go off live.
