Jamaican Dub According to British Producer Adrian Sherwood

British record producer Adrian Sherwood made his name as a pioneer of the musical genre known as dub.

It originated in Jamaica in the 1960s and 70′s; an offshoot of reggae.

Sherwood latched on to it when he was a young lad in London.

And starting in the early 80s, he stretched the musical boundaries of dub — crossing into, among others, punk, rock and electronica.

Adrian Sherwood didn’t want his new album, “Survival & Resistance” to sound like every other dub album.

He added space in the rhythm and used drastic tunings.

Sherwood takes dub in a new direction. Otherwise he says, “it becomes nostalgia and dies. It has to evolve.”
