SBTRKT (pronounced "subtract") is the moniker of Aaron Jerome, a London-based producer, musician, and DJ known for his blend of genres, wearing modern interpretations of native society ceremonial masks, and his anonymity, which places the focus on the music rather than the persona. Emerging in the late 2000s, SBTRKT has been influential in the UK electronic music scene, intertwining elements of dubstep, R&B, bass, house, and UK garage. His music is characterized by its intricate percussion, evocative vocals, and the ability to balance club-worthy beats with a nuanced, emotive depth.

SBTRKT gained widespread attention with his eponymous debut album in 2011, which featured collaborations with artists such as Sampha, Jessie Ware, and Little Dragon, highlighting his knack for fusing soulful melodies with innovative electronic production. The album's success helped to cement his status as a boundary-pushing artist. With subsequent releases like "Wonder Where We Land" and a slew of singles and EPs, SBTRKT has continued to refine his sound. His recent tracks, including "GHOST (SBTRKT REMIX)," "NO INTENTION," and "BODMIN MOOR," showcase a persistent evolution, further solidifying his position as a forward-thinking figure in contemporary electronic music. Always elusive, SBTRKT's artistry remains wrapped in mystique, while his output continues to resonate with a growing audience.
