Submotion Orchestra - All Falls Down

Submotion Orchestra are an amazing outfit live. I saw them live about a week ago. It's the collection of amazing musicians playing jazzy dubstep that is pretty unique. Though their records sound great it is really as a live act where their excellence comes through.

Metrik feat. Reija Lee - Freefall

This track feels like a late autumn type of D&B track. Maybe it's in the title? The freefalling of leaves as we approach the onset of winter, yet it is still warm out and it doesn't get dark until 7pm, so you still feel optimistic. Well that's how I feel anyway. Especially when listening to this track.

SBTRKT - Trials of the Past

I am really looking forward to this Friday when I am going to see SBTRKT in London. I love Sampha's voice and I love the post-dubstep sound that SBTRKT has created. There's a soulful gentleness to it, but also a funky backbone behind it. I always find it interesting to see how producers of electronic type music replicate the sound live. Samplers, keyboards and Ableton is the accepted way and it is always interesting to see how the acts manipulate the tools at their disposal. Here's a quick taster with "Trials of the Past", from a TV performance about 18 months ago.
