‘Style Scott and Flabba Holt, bedrock of the mighty Roots Radics, holding together the monstrous rhythms, while Adrian Sherwood works his magic at the controls. Features guest appearances from Lee Perry, Michael Franti, and Talvin Singh.’

‘From 1996, with Style Scott gathering even more crack Jamaican players together for the rhythms, featuring musicians who between them had done time in the likes of the Roots Radics, Soul Syndicate, Joe Gibbs’ Professionals, and Bunny Lee’s Aggrovators.
‘This incredible legacy is augmented by Adrian Sherwood’s work at the mixing desk back in London, overdubbing the London-based Skip McDonald and Akabu, and working his sonic magic on the raw material, a true transatlantic dub collaboration.’

‘Probably the best known Dub Syndicate album, this 1991 set was recorded between Jamaica and London, with the rock solid rhythms of band leader Style Scott augmented by a number of additional players, including guitar from Skip McDonald, vocals by Lee Perry and Akabu, samples of the late, great Prince Far I, and keyboards from Keith Levene.’

‘Another great set, with vocal contributions from mainstay Bim Sherman on a cover of Lloyd & Devon’s Cuss Cuss, and Shara Nelson (just prior to Blue Lines) on a version of Serge Gainsbourg’s Je T’aime. Originally released in 1989 and coinciding with the beginnings of Dub Syndicate as a touring unit.’

‘A follow-up to the Ambience In Dub anthology of the early Dub Syndicate albums, this box-set picks up the story in the late 1980s, with Style Scott coming more to the forefront of the project as bandleader and co-producer, and the group emerging as a live entity, mirroring the trajectory of Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah of labelmates African Head Charge.
‘This was also the period of their greatest popularity, with a series of classic albums that combined the best of Jamaican musicianship and the wild studio experimentation of Adrian Sherwood, resulting in music that appealed to ravers and dreads alike.
‘The four albums from that period — Strike The Balance (1989), Stoned Immaculate (1991), Echomania (1993) and Ital Breakfast (1996) — plus Obscured By Version, a special bonus album Sherwood has concocted out of new productions based on classic Dub Syndicate rhythms.’
With a 32-page booklet.

The long-awaited reissue of Deadly’s 1982 solo LP.
This great saxophonist played with everyone from The Abyssinians through Prince Far-I to Bob Marley. Designed as a showcase record for his unique talents, producer Adrian Sherwood assembled a crack team of his singers and players at the time for this set, including Style Scott, Bim Sherman, George Oban, Lizard Logan, Crucial Tony and Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah. Also dropping by is Headley’s fellow Alpha-alumnus Rico Rodriguez.
The CD includes two previously unreleased recordings.

Pressed on vinyl for the first time.
‘A marvellous set of jazz reggae instrumentals… a unique entry of super cool amid the chaos of the On-U catalogue’ (Steve Barker, The Wire).
‘Beckett’s genius is that he is always true to himself, whoever he performs with. His effervescent, tumbling, improvised melodies never fail to lift the spirits.The Modern Sound Of Harry Beckett is a magnificent sonic treat.’ The Guardian.
‘Sherwood’s production style strikes a perfect balance here between sonic creativity and respectful restraint, and Beckett himself is brilliant, creating horn lines that weave and insinuate themselves through the grooves rather than riding on top of them. Established On-U Sound fans will find this to be an enjoyable curiosity; Harry Beckett fans may find it revelatory’ (All Music).

Unmissably looking back over Sleepy’s almighty discography, with top-notch On-U cohorts like Style Scott, George Oban, Dr Pablo, and Skip McDonald, and Adrian Sherwood’s loving, respectful artistry, and Horace himself gloriously on song.
Magnificent do-overs of timeless classics like This Must Be Hell, Safe From Harm, Rock To Sleep, Materialist, Mr Bassie; plus six new songs.

‘The star of the show is Noah’s mesmerising hand drumming, especially on the headspinning Microdosing’ (The Guardian).
‘Easily AHC’s most accessible, vivid approximation yet of Brian Eno’s fabled ‘vision of a psychedelic Africa’’ (Mojo).
‘A ceaselessly unpredictable and eclectic record that manages to sound as traditional as it does experimental’ (Uncut).

Dub-plate-style Adrian Sherwood departures from the Midnight Rocker set.
Radical re-works, with interjections from Daddy Freddy and Lone Ranger; and stripped-back dubs. Plus some new stuff.

The first vinyl release of this 2005 reunion of Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah and Adrian Sherwood.
Richly percussive African rhythms, bubbling with trippy effects; pounding bass.

The 2011 album available on vinyl for the first time.
Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah meets Adrian Sherwood, with numerous guest spots including Jazzwad and Adamski.
Some of the hardest hitting AHC rhythms are here; more tailored to sound-system transmission than ever before.
