    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Over the years and albums (four since 1997, as well as crossovers with other dub icons such as Zenzile and Improvisator Dub), High Tone has embedded its dub with sonic distortions, hip-hop gimmicks, down tempo rhythms, creating a wholly original sound. An artistic course where risk-taking parallels an undeniable efficiency and strong public backing, reinforced by monumental live performances and supported by a striking graphical mark (devised by a member of Komplex Kapharnaüm, a street art association that expertly metamorphoses urban environments).

    Their latest little gem, “Underground Wobble”, takes off from where “Wave Digger”(2005) had momentarily paused, and pushes the limits even further. The percussions run wild, the guitars are more incisive and metallic than ever, the oriental echoes take us down new routes, before diving into an industrial electro atmosphere blended with break beat… The dub (or so-called novo dub) becomes eager and greedy in these new playgrounds. All the while, you can feel “Underground Wobble” consorting with the verve of Amon Tobin (“Speed 110”), the frenzy of Prefuse 73 (“Freakency”), the meanders of Mezzanine period Massive Attack (“Understellar”) or the jungle of Goldie at its best… The opus alternates between tracks which are stretching out towards an abrasive electro texture and tracks which are closer to reggae first loves. Could this movement trouble their fans? Surely not, for the essence of High Tone remains ever present: a whole and rich sound, hypnotic melodies, an uncanny skill at blending genres in order to create their very own. The High Tone's “touch” is undoubtedly on its way forward.
