The version of "Wildfire" is deliriously inspired, as SBTRKT takes Nagano's voice and chops it up into a stammering percussive riff, extending one of his signature singles into a high-energy sprawl.
And one previously unheard track, the surprisingly techno-indebted "Migration" a segue out of SBTRKT highlight "Hold On" , definitely gives followup-hungry fans something more to look forward to for the next release. This concert album's heart is in the right place. It's too bad that the mics weren't. Skip to content Search query All Results. Pitchfork is the most trusted voice in music. The audience was half and half, split.
Some arose to dance without inhibitions while the remainder just danced in their seats and bobbed their heads to the beat. I happened to be in the latter just because I attended this particular show by myself and given I had no friends with me I felt a little shy to get up on my own. I kind of regret that though. Doesn't sound like anything on the mainstream radio stations at this time. Read more. Report as inappropriate.
SBTRKT ended what was an epic Saturday of all types of music, well- and lesser-known bands spanning every genre imaginable. It was about ish when they started performing, night time. Beautiful lights set off even more than otherwise unrelated fireworks going off behind the backdrop on another island.
Sampha's voice sounds like nothing else, especially live. Along with the bright percussion, his voice carried and captivated the audience like nothing else I saw at the festival. They played The Orpheum in Ybor City, and absolutely killed it. The disappointing part about this show was that the crowd was awful and boring, no one wanted to move or dance or have any fun.
SBTRKT plays a lot of moody and mellow music, but when you see him live, it transforms in to a mashed up, bassy mix of uk funky house and just plain dance-y music. Sampha is amazing on vocals and Jerome's live drumming, theremin work, and electronics work are mind boggling to watch and mind pleasing to hear.
I've never seen two people effectively manage so much equipment on stage to produce live rather than mixed electronic music. To top it off, while Sampha performed live vocals for his parts, what may have even possibly been better was the sampling work done on Little Dragon's vocals in Wildfire or Gabor's voice in Pharoahs.
In short, they know how to run a live act and they produce a ton of energy. Amazing show. The whole set minus the sound quality was impeccable, the light and the animation were just on point.
Yet somehow the sound was just bit too empty to filled in a concert rather a night club fun time, it kind impressed me this way, that the artist was trying too hard to deliver something to actually succeed, everything ended up being sorta unfinished. At the beginning I was doubtful regarding the djset.
Nevertheless I was positively surprised because the djset was fantastic. I danced all the time and also Pional made a great opening session. See all videos 2. See all photos 2.

The other crucial thing is that the album is actually quite accessible, which is something that's eluded similar post-bass projects.
Those other guys-- Blake, Woon-- might have a purer artistic vision, but of the three, SBTRKT has arguably assembled the broadest and most listenable collection of songs. And in a field where approachability isn't always given a ton of weight, it feels brave to take this more song-oriented path and pull it off. Skip to content Search query All Results.
