SBTRKT - "Wildfire" (Shabazz Palaces Remix)



The mask-bearing man behind SBTRKT is widely believed to in fact be one Aaron Jerome. Prior to adopting the "Rocket" moniker, the London-based beatsmith managed to release an album's-worth of Jazz/ Hip-Hop/Electronic/ Soul-Funk tracks under his birth name: Time to Re-arrange (2007).
Nearly 4 months after its initial release, the lead single from SBTRKT ("Wildfire") is still gaining steam; Due in part to 2 remixes - Laced by the likes of Drake & Shabazz Palaces [Palaceer Lazaro]. The latter was released earlier today, August 15th, and was re-mixed by Memphis, Tennessee's own Drumma Boy. It should also be of note that both the original and remixed versions of "Wildfire" feature the vocal stylings of Little Dragon [Yukimi Nagano].
