Dub activists since the early 2000’s, High Tone has continuously evolved their music throughout their albums, constantly exploring new soundscapes, ready to free themselves from their own codes to create a hybrid and modern sound.
Founded in 2009 with the release of the first opus Wake The Town & Tell The People and a sound-system tour, the entity Dub Invaders enables the members of High Tone crew to revive the original spirit of a culture that shaped, influenced and inspired them from their start. In 2012, a second album comes out, full of outstanding guests (El Fata, Zeb Mc Queen, Solo Banton, Echo Ranks). The collective then embarks upon a French tour alongside the O.B.F and Dub Addict sound systems, followed by some international gigs (Dour Festival, Tokyo Dub, St Petersburg …).
2016 will welcome them back to distill their roots, digital, heavy steppa, bass music and even junglist sound on international sound systems. At the same time, 4 EPs will be released on Jarring Effects label throughout 2016, gathering top ranking singers, met along the road. For instance, on the first one announced for next April, Omar Perry and Doubla J meet Aku Fen and Dj Twelve!
