Yesterday, NAO was announced for Dublin’s Forbidden Fruit Festival and today, the singer has dropped a remix companion EP to last year’s debut album For All We Know.
Featuring 5 reworks of songs from the album, it includes a dancehall, Autotuned version of ‘In The Morning’ from Mura Masa, A Stormzy feature on the Loxe remix of ‘Feels Like’, a Sam Gellaitry remix of ‘DYWM’, SBTRKT’s subdued low-end ‘Bad Blood’ rework, and as is often the case with these things, a standout bumping remix from Kaytranada that channels those ‘Cranes In The Sky’ for a new vibe on ‘Get To Know Ya’.

With every release Joe Goddard shows he has the smarts but thus far, his project with Raf Rundell was either great or a bit cheesy as it hopped from genre to genre in search of something elusive. But the new single ‘Not This Time’, from the second album The Night Is Young, out October 13th is some considerable, repeatable pop smarts. The pair are also playing Playing Opium Rooms on Sunday November 1st.
The young Atlanta singer Raury who is just shy of 18 gets a bigger platform on a new song from SBTRKT’s forthcoming album Wonder Where We Land (out in the first week of October on Young Turks).
On ‘Higher’, Raury moves between rapid-fire rapping and hook singing on the chorus, as SBTRKT keeps the instrumentation subservient with head-nodding inducing synths and beats serving his rasp well.

Sampha, Caroline Polachek, Koreless, Raury, A$AP Ferg, Jessie Ware, Denai Moore and Ezra Koening and Warpaint.
That’s the guest lineup for SBTRKT’s new album Wonder Where We Land, out September 19th. As it happens we’ve already heard the first song ‘Temporary View’ but this funny little ditty ‘New Dorp. New York’ featuring Ezra Koening also appears and shows a different side to Jerome, which references Ballroom Blitz’s ‘Sweet’ and features pitch-shifted vocals with references to New York city landmarks.
Andrew Ashong is also on the deluxe version of the album.
Electric Picnic have added 23 new acts today including a good lot of Longitude artists as well as SBTRKT, Sampha, Shit Robot, Wild Beasts, Nick Mulvey and more.
James Vincent Mcmorrow • SBTRKT • Bombay Bicycle Club • Wild Beasts • The 1975 • Hozier • Hercules&Love Affair • Cathy Davey • Asgeir • Nick Mulvey • Sampha • Seinabo Sey • Rustie • The Strypes • Walking On Cars • Le Galaxie (DJ set with live drums, vocalists and lasers – pew pew) • Shit Robot • Bp Fallon • Nightbox • Sheppard• The Whereabouts • Trinity Orchestra • Dublin Gospel Choir
There are only €229.50 weekend tickets available for the festival at this point with Sunday and Family Camping now sold out.
SBTRKT and Sampha have connected on a track once again, which bodes well for the likelihood of a followup of the debut SBTRKT album, now released three years ago this month.
‘Temporary View’ is a reworking of ‘Resolute’, the instrumental released on SBTRKT’s recent Transitions EP, now sounding fully-formed with the dulcet presence of Sampha.
‘Simple Life’, is as bare as they come, a piano-lead striking ballad with Niia’s jazz vocals yearning for something else as she “makes her lovers used the back door when they leave.” It’s an effective showcase of a new talent years in the making.
2. Todd Terje – ‘Oh Joy’
Probably the only banger we hadn’t heard from his debut and album of the week, It’s Album Time.
Roses Gabor’s hushed and cooed soulful timbre was one of three feminine voices on SBRKT’s debut album on the track ‘Pharoahs’. As Jessie Ware went from small-time collaborator to full-blown Sade-esque critically acclaimed diva, Gabor added Buraka Som Sistema, The Insomniax and Jakwob to her list of collaborators (she was also the female voice on Gorillaz’ ‘Dare’ way back).
But her voice is one that deserves its own place and ‘Stars’ her debut single produced by Redlight is a great first spotlight, a slice of live-wire club soul with twisted vocals with nods to dubstep rhythm. It’s released on Toddla T’s label, Girls Music and Ninja Tune.
An interpretation of SBTRKT’s ‘Hold On’ featuring instrumentation from a cardboard box, a wine glass, a xylophone and more from Solveig Heilo of KatzenJammer.
Highlights: Bodytonic’s Beatyard Weekender, SBTRKT, Solar Bears with Letherette and SertOne, Yacht, Alabama Shakes, Matthew Dear, Kuedo, James Pants, Lapalux, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis; Last Days of 1984, Cian Nugent…
