Absolutely unmissable for all discerning dub-heads, Sherwood At The Controls will centre around a one-off, all-star live performance of music from Joe Gibbs and The Professional\u2019s seminal, classic albums \u2018African Dub 1, 2 & 3\u2019. British reggae, dub and lovers rock master Dennis Bovell will play bass, joined by Creation Rebel guitarist Crucial Tony and Perry Melius – the drummer from the classic line-up of African Head Charge.\u00a0 Adrian Sherwood will be dubbing the set live in his usual masterful fashion.<\/p>\n

The night will also feature a special rare DJ appearance from both Matt Black and Jonathan More AKA Coldcut – the legendary duo who\u2019s sample heavy, hip hop-influenced productions were integral to the late 80s dance music explosion, birthing their own hit records, plus remixes and productions for Eric B & Rakim,\u00a0James Brown,\u00a0Queen Latifah,\u00a0Steve Reich,\u00a0Blondie,\u00a0Pierre Henry,\u00a0Nina Simone and\u00a0BBC Radiophonic Workshop.<\/p>\n

Equally noteworthy is Ninja Tune, the label founded by Coldcut, which – akin to On-U Sound – has remained at the pinnacle of leftfield, dub and beat-based music over the decades. In addition to essential records by Actress, Run The Jewels, Floating Points, Bonobo,\u00a0Kelis,\u00a0The Bug\u00a0and\u00a0Helena Hauff, Ninja Tune will be releasing a limited-edition, hand-made single by Coldcut X On-U Sound (more details TBA).<\/p>\n

Since the first Sherwood At The Controls Live at the Jazz Caf\u00e9 earlier this year, the release schedule for On-U Sound\u2019s inspirational and influential music has continued apace, with the African Head Charge box set and 8-track vinyl LP of unreleased tracks – entitled \u2018Environmental Holes and Drastic Tracks\u2019 and \u2018Return Of The Crocodile\u2019 respectively. Also recently released was a vinyl re-press of the aptly-titled album \u2018Staggering Heights\u2019 by Singers & Players, plus \u2018#6\u2019 \u2013 a new 12\u201d by Japanese krautrockers Nisennenmondai (featuring a remix by Chris Carter of Throbbing Gristle fame). Additionally Sherwood & Pinch recently contributed the track \u2018Retribution\u2019 to the Houndstooth records \u2018#savefabric\u2019 compilation.<\/p>\n
