STBRKT - The masked crusader

2010 has really been a good year for sbtrkt. The always masked and anonymous Londonbased producer has appeared to come out of nowhere to become the preferable choice of remixer for everyone from M.I.A. and Gorillaz to Goldie and Basement Jaxx. Rumors has him down as Aaron Jerome, a producer first released by LTJ Bukem, but we haven't been able to confirm that.

Sbtrkt has made numerous appearances at dubstep hubs such as Rinse, Fabric, Forward and has on heavy rotation on BBC 1xtra by Mary Ann Hobbs, Benji-B and Gilles Peterson all year.

Eventhough his remixes are good it's his own tracks that really stand out. Genious broken drumpatterns, deep subbass and thick layered harmonic tracks that make us stop in our tracks.

While waiting for his debut album due early 2011 there are plenty of tracks to chose from. Check three of our favourite tunes below:

Sbtrkt - 2020

Sbtrkt - Soundboy shift

Sbtrkt & Sampha - Evening glow (wait for the break...)

Eric Lau - Cruise Control

London-based producer Eric Lau has been rising up to be one of our favorite beatmakers in the last few years. We mentioned him in this post a couple of months back. He's been making some other stuff since then. A charity project in benefit of Save The Children in form of a mini-EP with two tracks, you can find them HERE for streaming or purchase it for a small penny. Though this post is about the latest heat from the magnificent beatmaker! 'Cruise Control' is taken from Eric Lau's upcoming instrumental LP 'Makin' Sound' which will be released 27th September on Kilawatt Music.

The Foreign Exchange- Maybe She'll Dream of Me

Sorry for not postin' in a while. Been busy as hell makin' adjustments in life.

Well.. New post! Here it is! Long awaited, new single from The Foreign Exchange (Phonte & Nicolay) third album 'Authenticity' out october 12th on their own label. Zo! on the boards. We didn't need to wait that long as we did between the first and the second album from this nice duo! It features a rapped verse from Phonte that evokes some memories of the first album, 'Connected'. Fantastic music and cover-pictures which is pure art all the way! Enjoy!
