Hailing from Vigo, Spain, this producer and selector has carved out a distinct niche within the European sound system scene. His tracks, a meticulously crafted blend of roots reggae, dub, steppas, and electronic music, resonate with both the purist and the progressive. High Paw's journey began in the vibrant Galician reggae community, eventually leading to a prolific career marked by heavyweight releases on labels like Evidence Music and collaborations with vocalists like Lasai and Marina P. His breakthrough came with a string of critically acclaimed EPs and LPs that showcased his innovative production style - think King Tubby meets Aphex Twin. Beyond the studio, High Paw's impact is felt most acutely in the dance. His DJ sets and sound system sessions are renowned for their high energy and meticulously curated selections, traversing the history of reggae while pushing its boundaries. With recent releases continuing to explore the intersection of dub and electronic soundscapes, High Paw remains a vital voice in the global reggae landscape, solidifying his position as a force to be reckoned with.
