This is the fourth solo album by producer and drummer Razoof from Germany/Cologne.
It showcases a very nice blend of analog dub/reggae feel and very chilled vibes.
Most of the songs on “High Tide, Low Tide” came about during Razoofs residency at the chill out hot spot Blue Bar on the balearic island Formentera.
Long time collaborators Emanuel Geller, Solar Moon fellowman Tom Dams and vocalist Don Abi contributed also to this album.
As well as Lady Alma (famous from her work with King Britt, Zap Mama and 4hero), swedish singer Sofia Pettersson, Zeb (playing Oud), Internal Dread, Desmond Foster and german roots reggae star Sebastian Sturm.
With this album, Razoofs love for all things reggae comes full circle.
Razoof got the nickname Razoof from his class mates in school because of his early love for reggae music.
Being an activie drummer on the blooming german reggae scene of the early 90ties, he provided the backbeat for names like Gentleman, Bantu, Patrice and Don ABi.
He later also joined Solar Moon.
After many albums and compilations Razoof started to produce original dub infused downtempo and deep house and electronica material around Y2K, released mainly through his own label “Nesta Recordings”.
This way several Razoof tracks like “Lambs Bread” (Stereo de Luxe) and “Universal Love” (Jah Love Recordings) caused some global dancefloor heat.
His 2007 remix album “Life, Love and Unity” went straight to the top of the german chill out charts for many weeks.
Razoof holds the summer residency at Blue Bar on Formentera 2009.
