Horace Andy, born Horace Keith Hinds on February 19, 1951 in Kingston, Jamaica, is a renowned roots reggae songwriter and singer. With his distinctive vocals, he has recorded for numerous Jamaican producers and labels throughout the 1970s and 1980s. His collaborations with Bristol's trip hop band Massive Attack have brought him recognition from the mainstream public. As the cousin of Justin Hinds, he was given the name Horace Andy by Bob Andy.
Horace Andy's career as a roots reggae artist spans several decades. He has worked with notable Jamaican producers such as Studio One, Bunny Lee, Phil Pratt, Derrick Harriott, Keith Hudson, Tapper Zukie, and more. His unique vocal style sets him apart from other artists in the genre.
In addition to his success within the reggae community, Horace Andy gained wider recognition through his collaborations with Massive Attack. These collaborations introduced his music to a broader audience and solidified his status as an influential figure in both reggae and trip hop genres.

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.

A companion album to the critically acclaimed Midnight Rocker, this is Adrian Sherwood’s ‘sound system’ take on the original sessions. Featuring new tracks; radical dancehall re-works with MC interjections from Daddy Freddy and Lone Ranger; and stripped back instrumental version excursions in classic dub reggae style.

Continuing the series that Sherwood began with Heavy Rain, his re-working of Lee “Scratch” Perry's Rainford album, Midnight Scorchers is both an essential sequel to Midnight Rocker as well as being a powerful album in its own right.
