“I could’ve easily stepped out and done another “Wildfire” after the last record,” he says. “I probably had
about 15, 20 requests from big major label artists all wanting a copycat track. But the thing is, even the
ones I was into it was like, ’If you want what I do, I’ll come to the studio. We can start something unique
between us, but I’m not gonna just give you the same beat.’” - Aaron Jarome (SBTRKT)
