Leave it to none other than synthstep folk hero, SBTRKT, to kick off 2014 with some delicious new sounds. The London-based producer/DJ released a rough cut of “Runaway”, an orchestral R&B jam he created two years ago alongside frequent co-conspirator Sampha, labelmate Tic, and EDM heartthrob Jessie Ware. Feast your ears!

With a runtime of a whopping 1:15, the only beef we have with the track is that it’s painfully short. This leads us to believe “Runaway” could potentially be a sneak preview of an upcoming SBTRKT album, which would be fantastic considering he put on a bitchin’ set at HARD Summer 2013 and impressed us with his self-titled debut back in 2011.
Don’t sleep on the masked magician and his posse of UK soul rebels as they continue to carve a name for themselves deep into the dance music scene in what already appears to be a promising year.
Ciao!
