Behind the music
About Submotive.
Submotive is the alias of James Davidson, a drum & bass DJ, producer, and engineer from Bournemouth on the UK's south coast. Formerly one half of the duo Ulterior Motive and co-founder of the Guidance record label, James is also Goldie’s engineer and production partner in the downtempo project Subjective.
Over the past decade, he has built a respected reputation for futuristic, high-production beats infused with funk and soul, releasing music on top labels and touring globally with high-energy DJ sets. This new chapter sees James ramping up rather than slowing down, pushing forward with an impressive lineup of forthcoming releases over the next 12 months, including solo projects and collaborations with some of the scene's best producers and labels.
