Rootystep (selecta) and MacGyver (operator) begin to collect records and purchase music equipment. They are quickly joined by Pupajim who becomes the MC, the singer and the dub builder official of the crew. Stand High Patrol first toured the land of Brittany, gradually moving towards stepper dub production emanating from the English stage. 20 years later, after the release of four albums and the arrival of Merry and his trumpet, the sound is more present than ever. Stand High has created a true musical identity and has established itself as one of the essential sound systems of the French dub scene.
