Tetra Hydro K is a laboratory in which two dub alchemists are
experimenting with multiple sounds to mark their imprint on the French
electro-dub scene. The duo of producers returns this year with a new
album "Odyssée".
Coming respectively from the free party and trip-hop universe, they
took their inspirations from French dub tenors such as High Tone,
Improvisator Dub or Kaly Live Dub. Kanay creates a strong rhythm while
Krilong brings his melodic genius with his saxophone. Electronic?
Acoustic? Dub? Drum'n'Bass? Tetra Hydro K focuses on the combination of
organic elements in an electronic universe. After 4 EPs since 2010, the
band decided to evolve in 2016 with a first album "Labotomie". It was
followed by 2 albums in 2017 and 2018 and season 1 of the amazing
"Smoking Sessions" last year.
With this new album "Odyssée", THK rightly marks its stamp on the
French dub landscape. They turned their passion in a life-size
experimentation, a great diversification of the genres and musical
influences that shines through various guests. The stellar dub of the
French producer Panda Dub remixed by THK in "Labyrinthe" confronts with
the Raggatek rhythm of the track "Nah Come Fi Test" for a top-notch
collab alongside Sensi T. On "Black Ship" the duo signs a deep
instrumental with a dark and dubby psychedelic vibe. The rapper KT
Gorique shows all her power on the track "L'impasse", displaying her
powerful flow, no matter the rhythm. On this album, THK collaborates on
two tracks with Tom Spirals. This MC from Glasgow lay down his voice in
two different ways, first with a Hip-Hop vision, slightly Trap, in
"Expedition 808" then with a Reggae flow on "Cut to the Chase".
"Skanking Trip" adds a touch of Dub Stepper in this album with vocalist
Loïc Paulin in full power over the heavy-weighted bass. Three
instrumental tracks complete this album including the monstrous
"Charcuterie Monin".
Tetra Hydro K is back on the road in 2022 to take us in their new odyssey !
