Tone Of Arc on returning live bands to the dancefloor

Part of Crosstown Rebels' current domination of the underground dance market (an agency he’s signed with, by the way), Tone Of Arc’s live bass-slapping, microphone-heavy, rock n’ roll-like performances result in a very unique and refreshing twist on modern-day deep house and disco.

Dubstep original will never turn his back on the sound that made him

As you’ve doubtless heard, dubstep is dead in the water. Cursed with a lethal mix of commercial success, mass popularity, a huge internet presence, countless sold out raves, the scene is, as any fool can tell, totally knackered. Somebody needs to pause and tell Skream this quick, because from where he’s standing, the world has never looked better. Currently on a short solo tour of the States, the man who describes himself as having “dubstep as my blood group” has been gleefully pushing the boundaries of the sound, chopping up half speed snare smashes and bully boy basslines with taut explosions of house, disco and techno, knowing full well that rather than destroying the scene he loves, he’s blowing it wide open.

“I’ve just finished a collaboration with Shapeshifters, and a piano mash-up for Axwell. I’m working on some more material for my live set in which I’m hoping to incorporate a vocalist and other musicians. This summer I’ve a number of festival bookings, including The Masked Ball in Porthleven, The International Music Conference opening in Ibiza , Glastonbury, Bestival, Croatia Garden Festival and Festival Number 6, as well as club gigs around the country. I’m just going to put myself out there, perform to the best of my ability and hope the crowd gets a good buzz from it.”
