Canadian rapper Drake has leaped onstage with SBTRKT during a recent Toronto show.
“I’m not the most social person, so having to talk to DJs to make them play a record is not something I want to do. It’s more about giving them a record as an anonymous person and seeing whether they like it or not. If they play it, they play it.”
So claimed British producer SBTRKT during a recent interview with ClashMusic. Often wearing a mask, his subtle, down tempo productions have carved out a solid reputation as someone pushing electronic music forward.
With his debut album out now on Young Turks, SBTRKT has received some (probably unwanted) attention. Yet the boost to his profile does have some benefits, such as Drake adding rhymes to a remix of ‘Wildfire’.
Travelling out to Canada for a series of live shows, SBTRKT recently performed in Toronto. Drake’s hometown, the rapper couldn’t resist bounding onstage for a quick run through ‘Wildfire’.
