Their sonic offerings include a blend of popular covers and superb original songs, and with their non-stop, DJ format live set, vibrant onstage energy, and distinctive lead vocalist, let your thoughts take leave, let your feet take over and get ready to lose yourself in that moment!

Formed in 2011 with members from London, Brighton, South Africa & West Africa, ÜBER≡TONE specialize in a heady fusion of Deep Funky House and melodic Electropop.

As a group, their wide range of musical & international influences heighten the thrill of their music & their awesome live performances!
