SBTRKT: "Runaway"
SBTRKT rang in the new year with a rousing performance at the Yung Turks party in Mexico City, alongside the likes of the xx, Grimes and more, and dropped the final track from his live set as a special memento from the show. "Runaway" was released the day after the New Year's Eve set by SBTRKT via his Soundcloud and features the likes of Jessie Ware and Sampha on the track, along with Tic. The track is comfortably upbeat and in the mold of tracks from SBTRKT's last self-titled project. SBTRKT on his latest: "The last track from my set last night. collab with friends Jessie Ware, tic and a sprinkle of Sampha from 2 years back! happy 2014."

[Video] Bmac: "Till I OD"
Bmac is a rapper from Chicago's Uptown neighborhood on the city's North side. Currently working on his upcoming debut project, Hate On This hosted by DJ Sean Mac, Bmac dropped the first single, complete with video accompaniment in promotion for his project, which drops on New Year's Eve. For it's part, "Till I OD" has a fairly straightforward aesthetic: doing as many drugs as possible without overdosing, or maybe just until it happens. Either way, Bmac takes us into his day to day with a video detailing him and friends smoking, drinking and ruminating over what it all might mean if they take too much down.
