Leaving crowds inspired and often open-mouthed in their wake, this is not live dubstep to be taken lightly. The members have all cut their teeth on live dub, funk, reggae, jazz and even grime bands previously, so are no strangers to complex rhythm or rootical bass. Having been formed in early 2009 as an experimental live project, the band have quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting up-and-coming acts this year.
Expect to hear blissful tones and weighty sub-bass, interwoven with tight rhythmic intensity from this incredibly talented outfit.

(2) The seven-piece electronic/jazz ensemble Submotion Orchestra combined an eclectic mix of bass, soul, ambient electronica, jazz, and dub, which was complemented by the sultry vocals of singer Ruby Wood. The project began at the request of York Arts Council, when they asked founding members Tommy Evans (Gentleman's Dub Club) and Dom "Ruckspin" Howard (Author) to compose a classical/dub crossover piece to be performed at York Minster in 2009. After the success of that particular show, Evans and Howard returned to their hometown of Leeds, U.K., with a new musical vision and enough contacts to assemble the right musicians for the job.
Submotion Orchestra were revered for their energetic live shows, first on a local level at their weekly residency at Leeds bar Hukaz. They soon hit the U.K. festival trail, where their music and the feel-good atmosphere they promoted made them a firm festival favorite. By 2011 they had released their debut album, Finest Hour, via Ranking Records, gaining the support of BBC Radio 6 DJ Gilles Peterson, who would continue to endorse their music for many years to come. The second album, Fragments, was released only a year later. After its release, Ninja Tune offshoot label Counter Records approached the band about releasing future material, leading to third album Alium (2014) and fourth album Colour Theory (2016). ~ Liam Martin

If it's on your heart
For a time to move back to the start
I know, you need to take your time
Darling,
It's alright,
Time will wait for you
Time will wait and I'll wait here for you
time will wait and I'll wait here,
wait here for you
(for you)
Time will wait and I'll wait here for you
(for you)
I will wait here for you,
I will wait here for you,
Eyes now are getting if we can't forget
All the same
this time
set aside the pain
oh the light shines
if it's right as this
Darling,
It's alright
Time will wait for you,
Time will wait and I'll wait here for you
(for you)
time will wait and I'll wait here,
wait here for you
(for you)
Time will wait and I'll wait here for you
(for you)
I'll wait here for you,
I'll wait here for you,
I'll be waiting on the road for you
Dark and narrow
Just enough for two
Every ending
Leads to something new
Darling, it's all right
Time will wait for you

Time will wait and I'll wait here,
Wait here for you
