FACTS ABOUT SBTRKT

:: It's pronounced "subtract".

:: He wears a mask to protect his identity (perhaps he is Ryan Giggs).

:: But everyone knows he was formerly nu-jazz noodlemeister Aaron Jerome.

:: Aaron / Subtract / SUBTRKT says: "I don’t fit in a distinct genre umbrella".

:: Whatever that means.

:: He refused to remix JLS: "I love remixing but it’s got to be a decent track."

:: One track that passed the SBTRKT litmus test was Tinie Tempah's Pass Out. He speeded it up and put cowbells all over it. Astonishing.

:: On the masks thing, he notes: "In African societies, masks were used in religious and social events representing spirits of ancestors. They come to life, enhanced by music and atmosphere of the occasion."

:: That will do for now.
