SBTRKT has delivered a typically idiosyncratic remix for Odd Future rapper Frank Ocean.
Withdrawing from public attention, hiding behind a mask, SBTRKT never asked for attention. However the bass producer got it in spades this year, with his debut full length fulfilling the promise of those early 12s.
Using a variety of guest vocalists, SBTRKT’s debut album earned massive critical acclaim far beyond the bass spectrum. Completing a number of remixes, the producer was recently invited to work on Radiohead’s ‘TKOL’ project.
Now SBTRKT has delivered a remix for Frank Ocean. Tackling ‘Thinking About You’ the producer adds some rubbery synths for a dub laden R&B treatment that recalls The Weeknd or even Jamie Woon.

Recently stopping by London for a one off show at XOYO, Frank Ocean is now set to see out the year with some Stateside dates. Recently the rapper was forced to cancel a set at the Bowery Ballroom, leading to the following statement:
“or should i say postponed. i played last night in new orleans, on antibiotics and some other meds. got sick a cpl days before i left los angeles. woke up this morning in new york and could barely speak. called a doctor to my hotel, got a steroid shot. took some more meds. laid in bed allday till soundcheck, got to the venue and could barely sing any of my songs. im really sorry yall. i been workin on this show for months, did everything i could to make it special for yall. i’ll be back soon as i’m healthy. thats my word. tickets will be valid for that, or you guys can get refunded. damn. this shit sucks.”
