On U Sound

Dub Syndicate is On-U Sound's premier dub outfit and a name synonymous with the label from its inception. Led by drummer Style Scott, who was also the rhythm force of The Roots Radics, Dub Syndicate emerged from the early Creation Rebel. Members of The Roots Radics frequently join Dub Syndicate, along with other On-U Sound players and singers. Collaborating mostly with Adrian Sherwood, Scott also worked with others like Bill Laswell and Lee Scratch Perry. In 1982, they released the groundbreaking album "Pounding System," exploring ambient and electro dub. Despite Scott's death in 2014, the band continued touring and making records in various forms.

Dub Syndicate shares similarities with artists such as African Head Charge, New Age Steppers, and Zion Train. They have been influenced by legendary figures like King Tubby, Prince Jammy, and Prince Far I.

Their unique blend of dub music has garnered them a dedicated following over the years. With their innovative soundscapes and collaborations with renowned musicians, Dub Syndicate remains an influential force in the world of dub music.

On U Sound is a UK based experimental reggae/dub label founded by Adrian Sherwood. With a rich history and an impressive catalogue of releases, the label has become synonymous with innovative and boundary-pushing music. Adrian Sherwood, also known as *Skip* (artist credits page), is not only the founder but also operates as an artist on the label. It's important to note that On U Sound should not be confused with the US based DJ/club remix label ON-USound.

Related labels such as Pressure Sounds and Green Tea are part of the On U Sound family, showcasing a diverse range of musical styles. EFA released some remastered titles with slightly altered cover artwork before going under in 2004. However, On-U Sound was relaunched in 2002 and made a powerful comeback with Little Axe's album 'Stone Cold Ohio' which marked its resurgence.

If you're looking for newer releases from On U Sound, keep an eye out for catalogue numbers starting from ON-U CD 1001 and higher. The Phonographic Copyright (p) and Copyright (c) belong to On-U Sound Records Ltd., ensuring that their unique sound remains protected.
