When I came across SBTRKT's essential mix this morning, I knew what I had to do. It is just too amazing to not share. It was aired last Friday night on BBC Radio 1 and features two hours worth of fantastic mixing and an even more impressive track selection. We get a smattering of eclectic tracks spanning several different musical regions. Some of the wonderful artists displayed on this mix include Radiohead, Hudson Mohawke, Sinden, Lone, Tinie Tempah, and Flying Lotus, to mention a few. We are even graced with an unreleased SBTRKT track entitled "Runaway" which comes in towards the end of the mix. I know it's entirely unoriginal to keep pointing out how impressive SBTRKT is, but I just want to reiterate how he has basically gone from a complete unknown to arguably the most notable artist of 2011. Give a devoted listen the mix below and check out his 2011-2012 North American tour dates, because if this man is anywhere near your current location you will regret missing his live performance. Go to his SoundCloud for a comprehensive track list.
