ESPION LIVE! (Soma/Serotonin/Orson)
Stephen Arnold AKA Espion has produced a variety of styles of electronica since 1994. Skilled on many instruments, and with years of experience in sound production and audio engineering for TV/film as well as running several club nights, Espion is one of the hardest working artists we've seen, constantly into new innovative projects.
After years as a promoter (notably Camouflage and Breakcore Extravaganza) and resident at various club nights (Super Scientists, Pogo Vogue, Dogma and more), Espion made his mark on the underground scene in 2005, with sell-out releases on Transparent Sound’s label Orson Records. Since then, his diversity in his music has seen him progress into a well established artist, releasing with Scape One, John Selway, Paul Blackford, Vector Lovers and C-System on various labels around the world, including Soma and Serotonin. These have been regularly supported by Dave Clarke on his White Noise radio show, while also being published by 2pointzero.tv in 2007 (under the names Espion and Error Response) for TV, film, games and other media. He has forthcoming releases on labels such as Bass Gun, with remix material in the pipeline for the likes of Sir Real on [K]raktroni[k].
Following a spell in Berlin, his Substance live appearance will be the first since his homecoming.

MORPHAMISH aka SOLA PERPLEXUS LIVE! (Audiodacity)
Morphamish has been blasting his mind altering music out of sound systems for the past ten years. Under the names Morph, Sola Perplexus, and latterly as the producer in the group Double Helix, this music has spanned techno, electro, breaks, dnb and dubstep. As well as holding residencies at Pillbox and Obscene, and guesting at numerous events such as Dogma, UTI, Curios, Pedigree Skum, Tronic, React, Confusion and Jakn, he has supported the likes of Neil Landstrumm, Dave Tarrida, Daniel Benavente, Mark Hawkins, Ray Keith and Boxcutter. He has previous releases on Crystal Distortion’s Labrat Audiochemicals, Crunk’s Not Dead, Intonations, and his own Audiodacity label.
For the past couple of years he has taken a break from playing live regularly, and he has been working on production, exploring a dubstep influenced sound. This hibernation culminated with the debut Double Helix album (which has received support from Radio 1, Sub FM and Warren Ellis).
Now he is returning to unveil a whole new batch of live techno material at Substance. This new sound displays the heavy sub bass and hypnotic off-kilter breaks of dubstep, but is infused with the driving 44 kicking energised momentum and psychoactive funk elements of fat electro techno. The new name he has adopted reflects a return to the spirit of the dance-floor satisfying Morph sound, but with a new expressive bass hungry party time twist.
