I’m sure almost everybody here knows who SBTRKT is, but in case you don’t here’s the 411. Aaron Jerome aka SBTRKT began his career at Plastic People in London and has had a steadily growing fan-base eversince. For all these music fans, he decided to share a previously unreleased song from 2009. I can say without a doubt that “Atomic Peace” is one of the favorite musical treats I’ve heard so far from SBTRKT. Never really felt the need to post about this guy, but after having heard this I think it’s about time to do so.
SBTRKT – Atomic Peace

Eventhough Belgians are a strange species…I like them. We met one of their kind that goes by the name Alex from On-Point last month at Plastic People (Theo Parrish). To my big surprise Alex shot me a message this weekend saying: “If you sleep on this one, you’d better stop blogging”. I was shocked to have received this threat and got ready to pack up my stuff, shut the website down and go find another hobby untill I decided to actually listen to what Alex sent me
I must admit these alien sounds did take some getting used to, but my peoples from UpHigh Collective managed to “Blend” me over. On the flip you can find Title with “Caravan” and in case you need any more info on this double sided 7″…it can be found HERE. If you were wondering where to buy this foreign product…please visit Rush Hour to pre-order. Remember this is a limited release (only 500 copies) and it drops this weekend.

London connect baby! We met Nick from Spine TV before Theo Parrish played at Plastic People last week. Homegirl Fatima who’s “Mind Travellin’ EP just dropped gets nothing but love. Check out this dope documentary about the Eglo fam and why Fatima is missing some hair. Big ups to Alex, Steve and Sam of course.
This past Saturday we went to Plastic People and witnessed a classic Theo Parrish set from beginning to end. The night was even more special because it could be the last time Theo played at Plastic People. In case you haven’t heard it yet, the club is being threatened with closure by the city and police of London. If you’ve never been to Plastic People before you might wonder what all the fuzz is about. Plastic People is a place like none other, besides from being one of the birthplaces of several styles such as broken beat & dubstep, it’s a unique space in itself. The space is small and the dancefloor has no added lights other than those necessary such as those at the bar. This means you practically have a dark dancefloor where you can dance and enjoy the music the way you choose to. Plastic People also has a unique soundsystem that vibrates through the whole space. Theo Parrish said it’s probably the best sound installation in a small venue. To make a long story short, we need to unite to keep Plastic People from being closed. At the end of his set Theo gave a classic speech of which we were able to record a part, listening to this should give you an idea of the vibe of the night. If you haven’t already, sign thepetition and help save Plastic People!
