SBTRKT, the alias of British musician and producer Aaron Jerome, has been a pioneering force in electronic music since the late 2000s. Emerging from London’s vibrant underground scene, SBTRKT quickly distinguished himself with a unique blend of post-dubstep, UK garage, and future bass, infusing his tracks with soulful melodies and intricate rhythms. Steeped in anonymity, he often performs wearing tribal masks, emphasizing the music over personal identity and nodding to his appreciation for diverse global cultures.

SBTRKT’s self-titled debut album, released in 2011, received critical acclaim for its innovative production and genre-blurring soundscapes, featuring collaborations with emerging talents like Sampha and Jessie Ware. The record’s singles, including “Wildfire” and “Hold On,” helped define a new direction in electronic and pop music, cementing SBTRKT’s reputation as an influential artist and tastemaker. Over the years, SBTRKT has maintained a reputation for pushing boundaries, releasing the ambitious “Wonder Where We Land” in 2014, featuring collaborations with A$AP Ferg, Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, and Sampha.

His work is marked by experimentation, captivating storytelling, and a refusal to be pigeonholed into any one genre. SBTRKT has performed at leading international festivals and clubs and remixed artists such as Radiohead, M.I.

A., and Basement Jaxx. With sporadic releases and a commitment to innovation, SBTRKT remains a compelling, enigmatic presence in modern electronic music, continually evolving while remaining true to his roots in the UK’s ever-changing musical landscape.
