Submotion Orchestra is a live 7-piece project from Leeds, incorporating deep bass-driven grooves and dense textures in their progressive live dubstep sound. Submotion Orchestra have rapidly built up a reputation as one of the most interesting and original projects emerging from the UK today. Drawing upon dubstep, soul, ambient electronica, jazz and dub, 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 bed for the fragile beauty of Ruby Wood’s vocals, and the celestial effects of sound designer, and established producer in the bass music scene, Ruckspin.

Formed in Leeds in 2009, the band quickly made a splash on the scene, with their live gigs leaving audiences open-mouthed, and their debut EP on Ranking Records drawing raves from everyone up to Radio One’s Gilles Peterson, while 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. Festival gigs at The Big Chill, Latitude, Outlook, Bestival and many more followed in 2010, culminating in the recent release of their debut album, ‘Finest Hour’. Ruby Wood is fresh from touring with Bonobo, and with festival appearances at Glastonbury amongst many others this year, this amazing outfit are set to become one of the most influential and eclectic acts in the bass music scene. Put simply, this could quite be the most unique night The Courtyard will ever see.

Breakz welcomes you back to York with another king of drum and bass, the legendary GROOVERIDER!

Breakz facebook group

Grooverider rose to fame in the late eighties with partner Fabio, and championed the emerging UK breakbeat culture that eventually split from house and techno to become hardcore. From this developed jungle, and then drum and bass. He is now considered a “godfather” of drum and bass, and his influence on the development of the genre cannot be overstated. Expect a cutting edge set, this man never disappoints.

Supporting we have the best in local drum and bass talent:
BROWNSOUNDZ, SARAH TONIN, GOATBOY, ZIPPY and TRICK.

The back room is a dubstep and mashup zone with some of Herbal Mafia’s finest:
BROTHERS GRIME, ALBI 1 B, JETHRO, MOXX and SIKH & DESTROY.

With big things planned this term from Breakz, this is one not to be missed. Advance tickets will be released on Monday 3rd May.
