SBTRKT Shares His New Downtempo One-Off Cut "Flicker"

SBTRKT Sits In For Benji B With Producer Bok Bok & Drops 5 Previously Unreleased Tracks During His Set For BBC Radio 1.

It seems that SBTRKT has taken a bit of time out from his hosting work BBC Radio 1 Residency to produce a brand new cut. "Flicker," a patiently-paced electronic number, was uploaded to the Brit's SoundCloud account over the weekend, and appears to be the first sign of a new project in follow up to 2014's Wonder Where We Land.

Then again, "Flicker" itself was debuted on the most recent episode of SBTRKT's residency, and so it seems that the cut is, indeed, a function of the man's hosting duties. Relaxed and even-keeled in a way that we've rarely heard from SBTRKT, the new one-off sounds like something you'd hear if you were put on hold by a funky and futuristic DMV department. We're most definitely with it, and wishing that we could keep it looped all damn day. Two minutes of solo electronic exposition from one of the most creative and thoughtful beat-suppliers working today.

Listen to "Flicker" below and be sure to keep an ear locked on the BBC—it seems you never know what kind of gems may drop.
