DYSTOH
AFRO-FUNK | GLOBAL | SOUL
NEW ARTIST AT THE AGENCY !
Territory: Canada
DYSTOH is a dynamic new duo from Ray Tabana and Phil Motion, founding members of the three-time Juno-nominated Souljazz Orchestra. Blending hard-hitting congas, roaring baritone sax, and tight two-part harmonies, their sound draws from the commanding and vibrant elements of Afrobeat(s), Latin and Reggae.
Born during the COVID-19 lockdown, DYSTOH debuted live at Dakar Music Expo in Senegal (2022) and has since toured Colombia, Canada and Europe. Their self-produced debut album, ‘Heat of the Times’ (May 2024), bears the weight of the lockdown's isolation while offering a subtle, raw and poetic personal reflection on global unrest in a fast-paced shifting world.
Standout tracks and videos like "All My Life" and "Days Go By" highlight the best of their hypnotic grooves and polyrhythmic arrangements as these two artists swap lead vocal roles. After 20 years touring internationally with the Souljazz Orchestra, the duo now takes the stage, bringing forth their palpable high-energy sound that speaks to the duo's rich history as touring artists and seasoned live performers.
