“Submotion Orchestra are on the rise, and for good reason” - Q
 
“It blew me away. Somewhere between Cinematic Orchestra and dubstep - just right” - Gilles Peterson
 
2011 has already been a great year for Submotion Orchestra. A sold out tour in March and in October was followed by their debut album - Finest Hour - going straight into the iTunes Top10 electronic albums chart.
 
Since the beginning of the summer Submotion have been rampaging their way round the UK festival circuit, playing Glastonbury, Big Chill, Lattitude, Womad and many more to great acclaim, making many new fans everywhere they
go, as a quick glance at Facebook will confirm.
 
Glowing reviews from The Times, The Guardian, The Sunday Times and the Financial Times added more fuel to the fire and there are plenty of radio people in the fan club too, with Gilles Petersen, Trevor Nelson and Jamie Cullum all fully paid up supporters.
 
The new single, Always, is already one of the highlights of the live show. Always is a skittering mid tempo track which draws on Submotion’s dubstep roots but also incorporates elements of scat singing and melodic keys. Vocalist Ruby Wood is as ever on supreme form, aided and abetted by Simon Beddoe’s atmospheric horn parts and Taz Modi’s shimmering keys, all performed over Doms electronics and the rock solid rhythms served up by Tommy, Danny and Fatty. The whole thing is deftly put together by a group of musicians who have the confidence and ability to know just how much to put in, and just as importantly how much to leave out.
 
In the remix department we have Laxx who skews the beats and delivers a mix where the emphasis is most decidedly on dub. Laxx, aka Jamie Churchill, is a DJ and producer from Oxford. He has been played by some of the biggest names in Dubstep, including N Type, Emalkay, Jack Sparrow, Ruckspin and Walsh, and been involved in remixes for artists and DJs like Hadouken and Kissy Sellout.
 
Also stepping in to complete the musical package is Synkro with a more minimally inspired version, which is both hypnotic and haunting. Synkro has proved himself a force to be reckoned over the last twelve months, releasing on labels such as Exit (Mosaic Music EP), Blackout Music and Med School (New Blood). Major support for Synkro has come from names like dBridge, Instra:mental, ASC, Chris Coco, Giles Peterson, Brendon Moeller, Mary Anne Hobbs, London Electricity, Kasra & many more.
