RE-RELEASE OF HIGH TONE'S 2 CULT VINYL EPS True sorcerer's apprentices when it comes to massive vinyl sampling, dub alchemy in sound effects, neo-electronic tinkering, and cascading hip-hop scratching. It seems the High Tone brothers have been nonchalantly and (above all) freely exploring the byways of so-called current music (novo & live dub, jungle, drum'n'bass, trance techno, etc.) since the dawn of the digital age, always in search of the right frequencies: low & high tones! Obviously, in the warmth of the sounds. In fact, the adventures of the "club of five" musicians began in 1997, when free parties were in full swing across Europe, and between two rivers in Lyon, the supportive new scene began to cleanse our ears in a joyful sonic effervescence (Kaly Live Dub, Meï Teï Shô, Le Peuple de l'Herbe, to name but a few...). After several self-produced EPs, the group took advantage of the millennium bug to release their first album, "Opus Incertum," already on the independent label Jarring Effects, which to this day intelligently guides High Tone's destiny on the path to total artistic freedom. Their music was immediately self-described as ethno-dub to avoid a catalogue of metaphysical or simply media-related questions, and High Tone was directly catapulted to the forefront of the "French dub scene" (with Improvisators Dub and Zenzile); a scene that would drive the point home by giving new life to "dub" in a direct live version, unlike its big British sister who had brought the reign of machines to the forefront in studios eager for remixes.
