Hilanda Dubplate - Saddest day by Wayne Wonder

After a three-year hiatus Highlanda made a triumphant return to the Atlanta dancehall scene with a renewed energy in 2009.  Featured appearances at the mainstream events: Atlanta First Fridays at the W and Twelve Hotels, and on Atlanta’s largest New Year’s Eve event, NYEintheATL at the Crown Plaza Hotel, along with weekly engagements at Primal, The Bentley’s, Aliyah’s, Frequency Nightclub and DaVinci’s Nightclub, along with reoccurring engagements at The Royal Peacock, Vice Lounge, and Life Nightclub have quickly reestablished Highlanda as a top quality dancehall / reggae sound.

Founded by selectors/DJs SuperPEC, Crisis Don, and Kahlil Wonda, Highlanda Sound System debuted on the Atlanta nightclub scene in early 1999 after being discovered by Presise Halley, CEO of the Atlanta based entertainment company, Extreme Media (formerly Waxfactor).

Highlanda’s versatility, technical skills, and interactive style quickly gained the attention of their audiences, local promoters, DJs, artists, and club owners.  During its first two years, the Sound exploded in terms of popularity by consistently leaving its rapidly growing fan base completely satisfied and thoroughly entertained.  Highlanda has played in over 100 venues in its home state of Georgia including weekly at the world famous Club 112, Club ESSOs, The HAVANA Club, The Mark, Club KREAM and others.  Highlanda Sound has also played all over the USA, and internationally with dates in the Caribbean, and as far away as Japan.  

Highlanda has worked alongside some of the biggest names in the business: Renaissance, Stone Love, Massive B, DJ Mars, David Rodigan, DJ Enuff, Cocoa Chanelle, DJ Drama, Frank Ski, Sway & Tech, DJ Kool, Don Cannon, and Spank Boogie to name a few.  The Sound has also played events featuring a cadre of artists such as Beenie Man, Mobb Deep, Junior Reid, T.O.K, Big Daddy Kane, Tanto Metro and Devonte, Sean Paul, and many more.
