The A-Z Of 2013's Breakout Acts

S €“ Sub Focus

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3CYKXBEtf0 Sub Focus is another act that has been around for several years now, nearing success with individual electronic vocal-less tracks such as 'Last Jungle' and 'Rock It'. Embracing the art of collaborations and including guest vocalists on his songs through the latter half of 2012 and the entirety of 2013, however, has allowed the man otherwise known as Nick Douwma to reach new heights. Such collaborations include 'Out The Blue' (with Alice Gold), 'Tidal Wave' (with Alpines), the highly addictive 'Endorphins' (with Alex Clare) and 'Turn It Around' (with Kele Okereke from Bloc Party), all of which peaked in the UK top 25 and featured on 'Torus', his second album, which peaked at #11 and also included songs featuring Foxes and MNEK. Having also headlined BBC 1Xtra Live and the Dance Stage at the Reading and Leeds festivals, the man from Guildford, who has now been making music for a decade, is finally (and deservedly) making his mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8vlk1UR99k

Alex was about to write a short biography, but he got distracted by something shiny instead.
