Volfoniq
Volfoniq is a French electro-dub band, melting ska, reggae or ragga with electronics to create its very own interpretation of Dub. Respecting the roots of Jamaican music Volfoniq features driving skanks with built in low-fi and “electronic” moods, always keeping the focus on the heart of dub : basses !
Since his birth, Volfoniq choosed the “free” way to produce and broadcast his music. Every track is under Creative Commons licence (CC by-nc-nd 2.5). Creative commons is not only about free download and copy, it's also a mean for them to encounter other artists and have collaborations that would not have been possible if they were affiliated to an author rights management company. That's how they met Jahtari people in Germany, Dr Dub in Holland wich whom they made several dubs and remixes, and played with in the ”Dub en sauce” festival. They also met this way the japanese hiphop artist Azzurro, and made a remix for him wich is out on wax in october 2007 in japan.
Lots of other collaborations were born like this (Ras Amerlock in the USA, Arrogalla in Sardinia, Hotdrop in spain, …). Volfoniq brought the Creative commons vision within all the gigs, from France to the Sziget festival in Hungary in, KTS in Germany and La Coupole in Switzerland…
