Absolutely stunning set of tunes from Ruckspin, mixing as Submotion Orchestra. Capturing the Submotion vibe is a daunting task, but everything you love about them is fully represented here – tasteful vocals, jazzier progressions, and a whole lot of soul & bass.

Things start off extremely gently with tracks by Quark, The Weeknd and Burial before Machine Drum’s now-classic remix of Bonobo serves as a transition into deeper territory. Weaving original tunes with excellent Submotion Remixes, Ruckspin subtly increasing the temperature until boiling over with the euphoric Planas‘s single “Better Days”. Then we cool off with some classic purple synths and tremendously soulful cuts by Jack Sparrow and others.

Improving on an already stellar lineup of nobel-prize deserving electronic musicians, Dimensions Festival just announced a slough of additions. Little Dragon, without a doubt my favorite band of 2011. Kode9, who has a Ph.D in wompology (no, for real). The mercurial Machinedrum, who has had been in my speakers a lot recently between his own prolific output and as 1/2 of Sepalcure. Also added were JImmy Edgar, Nathan Fake, Amit, and Object, who I’d wager are all amazing as well.

Peep the full lineup below and also check out this short, excellent video about Dimensions, sort of a teaser trailer.
