SBTRKT - Live @ Maida Vale

Ahead of this weekend’s Reading & Leeds festival, SBTRKT was joined by Ezra Koenig and Sampha yesterday as he performed a three-track session live from Madia Vale for Zane Lowe on Radio 1. Vampire Weekend's Koenig jumped in on a rendition of new single ‘New Dorp New York’, while Sampha guested on ‘Temporary View’. During the session, SBTRKT also aired ‘War Drums’, a track featuring Warpaint that plays out as a bonus cut on the producer’s forthcoming second album Wonder Where We Land. Listen to the session in full after the jump.
