Submatik

Submatik, a drum and bass duo from Hamburg, Germany, has been an influential presence in the electronic music scene since their formation in 2012. Comprising Oscar Oomens and Philip Dakowitz, the duo’s sound blends energetic drum and bass with melodic undertones, which has helped them carve out a distinctive niche in the genre.

Originally, Submatik’s lineup included Oscar Oomens and Reinout Roose from Brugge, Belgium. However, after Roose’s departure in 2014, Oomens and Dakowitz continued as a duo, refining their sound and releasing music on respected labels like Liquicity Records, Radar Records, and Hospital Records. Their early work, including tracks like Firefly and Stories Can Wait VIP, garnered attention for its intricate melodies and dancefloor appeal.

Submatik’s style is a fusion of liquid drum and bass and energetic, bass-heavy rhythms, with occasional influences from melodic drumstep and happy hardcore. Their music, including tracks like Rocket Science and Never Let Go, is known for its emotive yet upbeat nature, making it a staple in both live DJ sets and online playlists.

Throughout their career, Submatik has earned a loyal fanbase and recognition for their ability to blend technical prowess with accessibility. Their contributions to the drum and bass genre, characterized by uplifting rhythms and atmospheric melodies, continue to resonate with listeners worldwide.
