SUBSTATIC

Substatic, an alternative-electronic band hailing from Bristol, have built up a reputation as one of the most exciting, dynamic and engaging acts to come out of the city with their own unique take on today 's dance/electro scene.

Starting out as a 6-piece in early 2007, Substatic 's line up and musical direction has changed dramatically over the past 12 months with a more focused and produced sound offering up electrifying beats and speaker- shaking basslines. Producers Steve Markovits and Alex Holmes have taken influences from electronic pioneers such as Orbital and Justice, to infuse gritty breaks with deep, resonating basses to ensure maximum impact on the dancefloor. Combined with the vibrant and sultry vocals of Colleen Quinn they deliver a bold and captivating performance, creating a buzz based on word of mouth gleaned from their electric live shows.

From playing intimate venues such as The Macbeth and Punk in London, to larger stages, making their debut festival appearance at The Isle of Wight and V Festivals in 2009 and headlining in their hometown for Bristol Festival and The Harbourside Fringe, Substatic 's following is growing larger by the minute.

Recently collaborating with highly acclaimed US-based hip-hop artist Zilla Rocca, they have seen remixes championed by the likes of Pete Tong, DJ Food & DK and the Ninja Tune Solid Steel Radio Show. Substatic have performed with Kosheen, Dub Pistols, High Contrast, Handsome Furs, The Rumble Strips, Two Door Cinema Club, Micachu & Ninja tune 's Daedelus.
