Active for over 40 years, it has survived and thrived to garner a committed cult following around the world. The label emerged from a fertile DIY scene that birthed contemporary imprints such as Rough Trade, 4AD and Factory. Since 1981, with label boss and producer Adrian Sherwood at the helm, On-U Sound has released over 150 albums and singles, and launched the careers of countless artists. As a producer, Adrian has worked with The Slits, Cabaret Voltaire, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, The Fall, Sinead O’Connor and more. His remix credits include Depeche Mode, Blur, Primal Scream and Air. Massively respected by other musicians, he has been acknowledged as an influence by the likes of Andrew Weatherall, Carl Craig, Mala, The Bug, Dubfire and many more. Key On-U Sound artists include Dub Syndicate, African Head Charge, New Age Steppers, Singers and Players, Tackhead and Bim Sherman. In recent years, remarkable new albums by the likes of Lee "Scratch" Perry, Horace Andy and Creation Rebel have received a huge amount of critical acclaim. As a remixer, Sherwood has continued to be much in demand, crafting entire dub versions of albums by Spoon (Lucifer On The Sofa) and Panda Bear &amp; Sonic Boom (Reset In Dub), and even lending his dubwise skills to massive pop artists such as Halsey. All of these activities have helped forge a space for label and producer in the contemporary landscape. With the debut of his 3D live dub show in 2023 and continuing experiments in the possibilities of spatial audio, plus an ongoing series of lovingly put together new editions of classics from a rich back catalogue, both Adrian Sherwood and On-U Sound continue to "disturb the comfortable, comfort the disturbed". https://on-usound.com/Footer-On-U-1 Mon, 16 Oct 2023 14:33:31 +0000 On-U Sound https://on-usound.com/Footer-On-U-1 ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ https://on-usound.com/News Thu, 17 Aug 2023 09:27:09 +0000 On-U Sound https://on-usound.com/News <img width="720" height="720" width_o="720" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eed1fb931e6261a5816a6c80d0b66246c63d4f0f68051b41bcbb5716fbcc89b7/image-3.jpg" data-mid="245932589" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/720/i/eed1fb931e6261a5816a6c80d0b66246c63d4f0f68051b41bcbb5716fbcc89b7/image-3.jpg" /> Adrian Sherwood US/CA tour postponed.

An inspired coming together of musical minds. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of In A Space Outta Sound, George Evelyn aka DJ E.A.S.E has handed over the tapes to dub maestro Adrian Sherwood to go on a heady version excursion with eight tracks from the original record, in the spirit of the reggae and sound system roots that informed the original album. The result is a fresh take on a much-loved classic, in the lineage of albums such as Massive Attack’s No Protection and Spoon’s Lucifer On The Moon. Features bold new re-works of iconic tracks such as “You Wish” (appearing here as “You Bliss”) and “Flip Ya Lid” (mutated into “Flippin Eck”). As well as his trademark mixing desk wizardry, Sherwood has also brought in some of the core On-U Sound players to add additional instrumentation and turn this collaboration into something which is much more than the sum of its parts.

Available to download and stream in full now, with a vinyl release on 30th January 2026 available to pre-order now exclusively via Rough Trade. Barbican Heights is born out of a spirit of collaboration, bringing together one of the UKs most innovative and influential producers, Adrian Sherwood; one of the longest serving and most iconic members of the On-U Sound family, African Head Charge; together with Speakers Corner Quartet, a rising force whose influence is integral to the sound of the contemporary UK jazz scene. Recorded during a singular day of creative spontaneity at Wicker Studios, the three acts, alongside Alex White of Primal Scream and Fat White Family, combined for semi-improvised reworkings of classic African Head Charge composition “Wicked Kingdom Of This Earth”, Speakers Corner Quartet’s own “Topanga”, as well as two new tracks constructed from scratch during the session. The EP title, a sly nod to a classic Keith Hudson tune, refers to the upcoming show at London’s prestigious Barbican Theatre, which will see all three artists share the same bill for the first time. The show also sees headliner Adrian Sherwood on stage with his own live band for the first time, comprised of long-time collaborator, Doug Wimbish (Living Color, Sugar Hill Gang, Tackhead), the aforementioned Alex White, plus Mark Bandola (The Lucy Show) showcasing Sherwood’s new studio album, The Collapse of Everything, and other On-U classics. Sherwood’s first solo album in thirteen years and only the fourth in his storied career, The Collapse Of Everything was released in August to great acclaim. More reflective than earlier records in his discography, the album plays out like a Jamaican spaghetti Western with its widescreen vistas and mood shifts, incorporating everything from dust-caked desert blues to earthshaking dubs decorated in seemingly infinite detail. An expansive palette that ranges from delicate piano motifs to heavily processed sound effects move in and out of a wide-panned stereo field, at times coalescing into an almost hallucinogenic state. Mojo Magazine calls it “Sherwood’s most thrillingly exploratory solo album so far.” The show in February 2026 will also coincide with African Head Charge marking forty-five years since the release of their first album My Life In A Hole In The Ground. Started as a studio project by Adrian Sherwood and master percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah, in the basement studios on London’s Berry Street, beneath Chinatown, the group has gone on to release over a dozen studio albums (including 2023’s critically acclaimed A Trip To Bolgatanga), and developed into a potent live act, spearheaded by Noah, which has performed headline shows and festivals around the world. Completing the lineup are Speakers Corner Quartet — a group defined by community, collaboration, and an unshakeable DIY spirit. Since forming in 2006, they have spent the past decade collaborating and shaping standout live and studio projects with artists such as Sampha, Kae Tempest, Tirzah, Dean Blunt, the late MF DOOM, and Lianne La Havas. Following the release of their critically acclaimed debut album Further Out Than The Edge (2023), the band have performed sold-out shows at The Roundhouse and Royal Festival Hall, delivered standout sets at Glastonbury and Montreux Jazz Festival, led a pioneering ICA residency exploring music and robotics, and scored the BAFTA-winning TV series Mr Loverman.

Meticulously constructed, The Collapse Of Everything sees Sherwood move beyond the mixing desk and take centre stage, pushing his ever adventurous sound into new frontiers. As well as the release of a new album, Sherwood will be performing for the first time as a solo artist, and touring with his own live band. The live show, which will premiere this autumn at the 'Dub sessions 20th anniversary’ in Japan, includes long-time collaborator Doug Wimbish (Living Color, The Sugar Hill Gang, Tackhead), Alex White (Primal Scream, Fat White Family) and Mark Bandola (The Lucy Show). The UK debut will be a major London show in February 2026 to be announced soon. Sherwood will also be touring in North America, Australia and Europe in 2026. Whether it’s on his own thrillingly unique solo records, as a band member of groups such as Tackhead, or as the creative force infusing his iconic aesthetic into the long-running and highly collectable On-U Sound label, Adrian’s work as an artist has always paralleled his work as a producer. Contemplating the difference between the hundreds of albums he has helped other people make, and his own work, Sherwood notes: “ I’ve made record after record as a producer for other artists, and I’m proud of every single one, but doing it as a solo artist I get the choice to call every shot and I’m not trying to please anyone else involved except myself. On this album it’s going to be a joy working it and trying to represent it live, and hopefully people will get off on it, because I think it’s a really good piece of work.” Explaining the title and genesis of the new work, Adrian continues: “Recently I lost two great friends, Mark Stewart &amp; Keith LeBlanc, and started working with the idea of doing another solo record, because it’s been a long time since Survival &amp; Resistance. Mark had written a song, and part of a lyric was hidden in the song about “The Collapse Of Everything”. It seemed a very appropriate title, both summing up my feelings about losing Mark and Keith, and on another level, what’s going on in the world now both politically and environmentally.” “When I started making tracks I was experimenting with tunings, and things kind of crashing together, trying to create a sonic that would flow and work together as a cohesive album. I wanted to take the tuned percussion ideas from the last album forward with more of the new things I’ve picked up in recent years, all the plugins and effects and things, while also keeping the vintage gear in the mix.” While understandably more reflective than earlier records in his discography, the album plays out like a classic film score with its widescreen vistas and mood shifts, incorporating everything from dust-caked desert blues to ambient-esque sound washes decorated in seemingly infinite detail, everything from delicate piano motifs to heavily processed sound effects moving in and out of a wide-panned stereo field, at times coalescing into an almost hallucinogenic state. The producer says: “I was basically trying to make a soundtrack encompassing all the things I like including good musicianship, dub techniques, and also good rhythms. I wanted to evolve this into a live show because, when I put out my first solo album Never Trust A Hippy, that’s when my name went from the back of the sleeve to the front. It’s taken me a while to get used to the idea, but now I’m comfortable with being out front, even on the live stage, so I’ve tried to make something really sonically challenging, and take myself out of my comfort zone. It’s important to keep moving forward.” ORDER NOW https://on-usound.com/Adrian-Sherwood-announces-EU-US-Tour Wed, 05 Nov 2025 16:04:31 +0000 On-U Sound https://on-usound.com/Adrian-Sherwood-announces-EU-US-Tour <img width="1080" height="1080" width_o="1080" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/98346c3a7d1408ad9805dee8adb0c934ab21d09f9d69ea24295af7f2f59afa7e/Adrian-Sherwood-Tour-USA-1080x1080px-copy.png" data-mid="240294763" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/98346c3a7d1408ad9805dee8adb0c934ab21d09f9d69ea24295af7f2f59afa7e/Adrian-Sherwood-Tour-USA-1080x1080px-copy.png" /> Adrian Sherwood announces&nbsp;The Collapse Of Everything. 30.10.2025 On-U Sound label boss and producer extraordinaire, Adrian Sherwood will be taking his most extensive tour to date on the road in Spring 2026, showcasing tracks from his new album, ‘The Collapse of Everything’.
