ON-U SOUND

IT’S DIFFICULT TO OVERSTATE THE IMPORTANCE OF ADRIAN SHERWOOD AND HIS ON-U SOUND RECORD LABEL, ESPECIALLY THROUGHOUT THE 1980’S. SHERWOOD ALMOST SINGLE HANDEDLY DRAGGED REGGAE MUSIC INTO THE 80’S, GIVING IT A NEW LEASE OF LIFE, WHILST INTRODUCING IT TO A WHOLE NEW AUDIENCE. EXPERIMENTING WITH NEW RHYTHMS, INDUSTRIAL & SONIC DUB BEATS, KNOB TWIDDLING THAT WAS EVEN MORE ADVENTUROUS THAN KING TUBBY, ‘SCRATCH’ PERRY OR JOE MEEK!! THIS WEEK WE HAVE A FEW OF OUR FAVOURITE TUNES, THOUGH TO BE HONEST IT WAS RIDICULOUS TRYING TO PUT IT INTO AN HOUR.
