Smith: I labeled it cosmic trap because it was influenced by my version of Detroit trap, which comes from expression and not wanting to go with the flow.

Yeah, that’s definitely something I noticed about you guys, especially in regard to how you refer to your stuff as “cosmic trap.” I thought, “Oh cool so it’s like trap but… not.” But then I read somewhere that it’s something else, like you are trapped in the cosmic trap. It’s a pretty unique mix of stuff, probably why our stuff has a nice unique vibe to it. The heavy listening phase.įreed: Yeah, and I think everything we fuck with pretty heavily will make its way into the tunes that we make, in some capacity. ![]() Freed spent like six hours on the floor in this old wooden house we used to listen in, just playing the first SBTRKT album and feeling the vibrations for hours.

So you’ve been drawn to multiple different genres before? Been making music, experimenting ever since.
