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. 2024 sees the tireless band return to the studio for the fascinating Five Points EP, which ploughs a path between electronica, jazz, ambient and soul in the singular way Submotion Orchestra can do.

The group’s reputation for stunning live performances grew with further UK and European tours, headlining the 6000-capacity Pula ampitheatre at the Outlook festival and sold-out shows at the Barbican Theatre (for the London Jazz Festival) and The Forum. Their song ‘Perfection’ was sampled for Young Jeezy’s Seen it All album, which went to number 2 in the US album charts, whilst Bryson Tiller’s monster hit ‘Right My Wrongs’ made memorable use of Submotion’s signature tune ‘All Yours’. Instrumental EP III moved their sound to more electronic realms, whilst critically-acclaimed fourth album Colour Theory found the band collaborating with artists such as Royce Wood Jr., Andrew Ashong and Catching Flies, with their momentum reaching a notable peak with a headline show at the legendary Royal Albert Hall. Fifth album Kites marked a return to their early sound, written and arranged by the band playing together, and recorded live in the studio, featuring their most personal and honest songs yet.

The COVID lockdown saw the band return to basics by recording and releasing their Unplugged collections, featuring fan and band favourites performed in a stripped-back setting, which they brought to rapturous concert audiences in 2023 in collaboration with the Prism String Ensemble. 2024 sees the tireless band return to the studio for their most fascinating recording yet - the Five Points EP, which ploughs a path through electronic, jazz, ambient and soul in the singular way that Submotion Orchestra can do.
