Voyeur – Blame It On The Youth EP(Stream)

Posted in News with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 31, 2012 by E.N.


Leeds based duo Voyeur spent early 2012 carving their name on the remix circuit, with reworks for Bombay Bicycle Club and Santigold gaining tastemaker support from the likes of Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Pete Tong, Rob da Bank, Dummy and XLR8R.

Their first original output, due on 26th November via Kerri Chandler’s new MadTech imprint, is the sultry ‘Blame It On The Youth’, an 8-minute lo-slung epic. Perfect listening for the impending autumnal evenings, it fuses jazz chords and emotive vocal yelps with a genuine sonic weight, showcasing somewhat of a detachment from their previous Balearic offerings.

On the flipside comes an edit from Kerri Chandler himself, who, upon hearing the track, insisted on adding his own interpretation to the package. Retaining much of the original, Kerri displays a new side to his productions and creates a dance-floor ready cut that will surely become a staple in his future sets. The tribal bounce of ‘Get Up’ completes the digital bundle.

Having already supported Disclosure at their London EP launch and appeared at Dimensions and Gottwood festivals over the summer, Voyeur will support Submotion Orchestra this month, before playing their own EP launch party at The Nest in London on 10th November, featuring a special line-up curated by themselves which will be announced over the coming weeks. Following this, the duo will appear on the seminal Boiler Room on 22nd November.


Submotion Orchestra – ‘Fragments’ new album preview

Posted in News with tags , , , , , on September 25, 2012 by E.N.


Bass, rhythm and soul are still paramount, but from the first few bars of ‘Intro’, with it’s Philip Glass-meets Penguin Cafe pianos, it’s clearly evident that the band have broadened their musical palate. It’s also also clear they’ve made this expansion sound effortlessly captivating – ready to melt minds and bassbins alike.
“In making ‘Fragments’, we started to stretch out from the template of the first album, explains keyboardist Taz Modi. “There’s a lot more colour and moods on this record; strings, woodwind and various new synth textures. We followed our noses to see where they’d lead us. There should be enough here to satisfy fans of ‘Finest Hour’, but hopefully there’ll be quite a bit to surprise them as well”

CAT: EXEC 150
RELEASE DATE: 21st MARCH 2011

‘It blew me away…Somewhere between Cinematic Orchestra and dubstep – just right!’ – Gilles Peterson

Following the success of their debut release, Finest Hour, Submotion Orchestra proudly present their new release All yours, a powerful yet delicate track showcasing to the full their many splendored musical talents. Destined to extend their growing reputation far beyond dubstep circles “All yours” is quite simply magical

Accompanying the original version are two mighty remixes. The first one comes courtesy of dubstep don Jack Sparrow, whose Circadian LP and other releases on Tectonic, Mad Decent and Wall of Sound have resulted in him carving out an enviable reputation. The charm of “All yours” seems to have rubbed off on Mr Sparrow who sets aside his own often more crunchy persona to deliver a remix of great depth and beauty.

Also on Remix duties are SeeMore Productions, who bring a slightly more relaxed feel to the song, skillfully blending a suggestion of hip hop rhythms with some ultra subtle Detroit style instrumentation. Not much is known about this anglo US outfit but with remix credits including Foreign Beggars and Slum Village you can be sure that the track is in safe hands.

Submotion Orchestra draw on dubstep, soul, ambient electronica, jazz and dub and have rapidly built a significant reputation as one of the most intriguing ensembles to surface in the last 12 months. Their deep bass driven grooves combine with an ethereal piano, a plangent trumpet, and deft percussion to create the perfect setting for the fragile beauty of Ruby Wood’s vocals and the celestial electronics of sound designer Ruckspin.

Their debut release, the Finest Hour EP lit up the world of the musical digerati unleashing torrents of Twittery and some heavy Facebook action. It also brought the ensemble to the attention of Gilles Peterson, who instantly became a believer. Mucho play on Mr Petersons show ensued, Finest hour was licensed to his Brownswood Bubblers series – a series which had already featured Jamie Woon, Flying Lotus and Floating Points – and the ultimate accolade, a Radio 1 Live at Maida Vale session

The Orchestra are also very much a live band. In 2010 numerous appearances in their hometown of Leeds plus some judiciously selected club dates further afield followed by some prime festival slots (Big Chill, Latitude, Outlook and Bestival) brought them an ever growing group of fans. They embark on their first ever full nationwide tour on 9 March playing London’s Jazz Café (19th March) and 12 other dates around the country.
