NEW DORP. NEW YORK - Music - Fantastic! - Sbtrkt
Aaron Jerome, known professionally as Sbtrkt, (stylised as SBTRKT; pronounced "subtract") is an English musician and producer.[1][2] Sbtrkt has remixed songs by artists such as M.I.A, Radiohead, Modeselektor, Basement Jaxx, Mark Ronson, and Underworld, and has released singles, EPs, and two albums.[1] His music has been playlisted by BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6 Music.[3]
Sbtrkt also has performed live with frequent collaborator Sampha.[4] The live show until 2012 consisted of Jerome utilizing synthesisers, keyboards and drum programming with Sampha on vocals.
Jerome uses the project's title rather than his own name in order to support the concept of anonymity. Jerome has explained "[I'd] rather not talk about myself as a person, and let the music speak for itself. The name SBTRKT is me taking myself away from that whole process. I'm not a 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."[5]
Sbtrkt wears modern interpretations of native society ceremonial masks designed by the anonymous designer "A Hidden Place".[2][6]
In March 2016, Sbtrkt announced a new project described as a 'non album'. The collection of songs and project is designed to bring new tracks to fans sooner than album cycles and also be a continuous ongoing experience.
NEW DORP. NEW YORK
Keep it stuck right there 'til the lumber comes
Leave a smooth operator lookin' like a bum
My girl's got a city to run
Got the key to the kingdom where the money's from
Never seen calienda, never seen the sun
(And he thinks I'm the negative one)
New Dorp New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock
Flag flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the empire, top of the rock
Keep your coat up in the kitchen while you feed the kids
Keep your waitin' in the winter while the tension ticks
My girl got a limousine
Got a full time job just to keep it clean
Got a speaker in the trunk; you know where it's done
(You think I'm the negative one)
