True sorcerer's apprentices when it comes to massive vinyl sampling, dub alchemy in sound effects, neo-electronic tinkering, and cascading hip-hop scratching... The 'High Tone' brothers seem to nonchalantly and (above all) freely traverse 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 in the woodlands across Europe, and between two rivers in Lyon, the supportive new scene began to clear 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 1st album, 'Opus Incertum', already on the independent label Jarring Effects which, to this day, intelligently accompanies 'High Tone's destiny on the road to total artistic freedom. Music immediately self-described as ethno-dub to avoid a catalog 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 said "dub" in a direct live version, unlike its big British sister who had brought the reign of machines in remix-hungry studios to its peak.
