Since their inception in 2009, the genre-defying Submotion Orchestra have moved
seamlessly between deep electronica, jazz, soul and ambient downtempo,
mesmerising audiences from Iceland to India. Their unique music is at once
delicate and heavy, spacious and dense, highly atmospheric but firmly rooted.
Earth-shaking bass and drums combine with lush keyboard and trumpet textures
to create the perfect backdrop for the fragile beauty of Ruby Wood’s vocals.
Formed in Leeds in 2009, the band quickly made a splash on the wider scene.
Their live gigs left audiences open-mouthed, and their debut EP on Ranking
Records drew a rave reaction from Gilles Peterson who quickly gave the band their
first Radio 1 session. Their now-legendary weekly residency at the tiny Hukaz Bar
in Leeds gave fans the unique opportunity to see the band create new material up
close and personal.
