Critical Praise for the Debut
“One of the best acts I’ve ever seen doin’ it.” – Drake
“Crisp and forward looking.” – NY Times
“Best Beats of Summer 2011.”- NPR Music
“SBTRKT is ultimately a colorful and highly enjoyable future-pop record, an extension of bass culture but not indebted to it. The other crucial thing is that the album is actually quite accessible, which is something that’s eluded similar post-bass projects.” – Pitchfork
“Finally became a phenomenon in 2011. But that fist-pumping takeover also helped popularize “postdubstep,” a headier alternative led by the masked man known only as SBTRKT. Here’s the thing, though: On the U.K. producer’s canny debut, his fusion of underground bass (“Pharoahs,” “Go Bang”) and instinctual dance pop (“Wildfire,” remixed by Drake, “Something Goes Right,” “Right Thing to Do”) hit just
as hard as any wobbling bass drone.” – Spin – Best Dance Album 2011
