Quietus Mix 37: Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound Radio

By The Quietus

0:00:00

-1:15:00

"Adrian Sherwood has a phenomenal CV. Inspired by reggae to teach himself sound engineering in his teens, Sherwood has forged a career that has epitomised the inter-racial trajectory of dub through England, from putting UK production on the map, right through the mutually inspiring transfusion of reggae and punk, acid house and experimental hip hop. He has collaborated with the likes of Prince Far I, Lee Scratch Perry (including the seminal album Time Boom X Di Devil Dead), Ari Up, PiL, Mark Stewart, Depeche Mode, Primal Scream and Asian Dub Foundation. In a logical progression he has recently commissioned remixes from and toured with dubstep producers Mala (Digital Mystikz) and Kode 9. When I met him, I was starstruck not simply by this list of credits and the man's talent, but a sense he inspires, partly from what is already held in my own imagination, of music's unique power to mobilise." - Melissa Bradshaw

Love it! My listening has been inspired by Adrian Sherwood for about 20 years now, and this is a good example of why. I've met him a couple of times recently and his enthusiasm is not diminished, so long may he continue. There's some more good stuff to come from OnU too, so more to look forward too; it's a shame that, like so many artists these days, he finds it so difficult to make a reasonable living at it and to afford to release more music - if anyone deserves it, he does. Who put this mix together - you or Adrian? Good one either way!
