During her set at Afropunk Festival in Brooklyn this past weekend, Erykah Badu delivered an unexpected rework of her single "Appletree".

[Listen] SBTRKT - "Gloss"

After a short hiatus (it was May when he last graced us with a new track), SBTRKT is back with a brand new cut titled "Gloss". The three-minute track is very minimalist, but it works so well in this situation. Simple synth repetitions and subtle percussion make this perfectly fitting for those late nights. Stream it below (via SoundCloud).

[Watch] SBTRKT - "Hold On" Live for MTV

SBTRKT have been grafting for the past 12 months and recently visited MTV's PUSH Live to put in a performance of "Hold On" with a little help from Sampha. It's a smooth rendition of the track and features some nice extra percussion between the duo and Sampha at the end. Check it out at the top.
