About Adrian Sherwood
Adrian Sherwood is a London producer who started out in the late 1970s on small reggae labels before founding On-U Sound in 1980. Through the label he produced and mixed records by Creation Rebel, Dub Syndicate, African Head Charge, Gary Clail and Mark Stewart, and made the albums 'Time Boom X De Devil Dead' and 'From the Secret Laboratory' with Lee Perry.
His work outside reggae includes remixes and productions for Depeche Mode, Primal Scream and Nine Inch Nails, and the album 'Late Night Endless' with the bass producer Pinch. He has released solo records such as 'Never Trust a Hippy' and 'Survival & Resistance'. Live, he performs from the mixing desk, dropping instruments in and out and drenching them in echo and delay in real time.
