About

Submorphics (Greg Axelrad) has made his name with soul drenched, deep, emotive, nostalgic yet forward thinking music. Drawing on eclectic influences from his formative years in Detroit, Chicago and San Francisco, Submorphics' productions have graced iconic Drum & Bass labels like Hospital, Shogun and Metalheadz, displaying a fine tuned signature sound developed over the last decade. His distinct feel for tone, melody and composition have earned him admiration from fans, DJs and music lovers alike.

Releases like ‘Long Been Gone’ and ‘Higher Ground’ (Ft. T.R.A.C.) cemented him as one of the top soulful D&B artists in the 2010s, leading him to start releasing longer projects focusing on deeper emotional musical journeys with an emphasis on sonic detail.

Since signing on with premiere soulful label The North Quarter in 2018, Submorphics has released 4 larger projects on the coveted Dutch label to widespread acclaim. Joining the dots between soulful hip hop and D&B in his own trademark voice, the Detroit Haze EP and Kodak Dreams LP put a stamp on his longtime sound and vision with stunning effect - garnering love from both the D&B scene and larger beats scenes.

Taking his lo-fi D&B aesthetic into the future, he followed it up with 2021’s Newport Magnetic EP (featuring Veda Black-lead belter ‘Let it Shine’) and liquid anthem ‘Albion Road’ (featuring Pola & Bryson), demonstrating a refined sound palette while still retaining his trademark deep melodic sensibilities.

In 2022 Submorphics released another opus in the form of the Verona Highway EP, showcasing an even wider screen electronic vision and emotional range. A deeper collection of warm, dreamy and sentimental music, this EP was the perfect serene soundtrack to 2022 summer nights.

With an increasingly busy DJ schedule and home now in The Netherlands, Submorphics is an ambassador of the best in soulful D&B, journeying across the globe spreading the sound he loves so much; and constantly evolving while always remaining true to his singular vision.
