DUB SYNDICATE

Dub Syndicate

Obscured By Version

    A brand new set of Dub Syndicate ‘versions’ utilising rhythms from their classic 89 - 96 period. Adrian Sherwood has gone back to the original tapes, working his mixing desk magic to find new angles on the timeless pulse of
    Lincoln Valentine “Style” Scott, with fresh overdubs from Cyrus Richard (Dub Asante Band).

    Features new dubs of tracks originally found on albums such as 'Time Boom X De Devil Dead' and 'Stoned Immaculate'. A fitting tribute to the long running creative partnership and friendship between Sherwood and Scott.

    Mastered by Frank Merritt at The Carvery, with an inner sleeve featuring rare photography by Coneyl Jay and liner notes by Rob Harris (Test Pressing).

    Dub Syndicate

    Strike The Balance - 2025 Reissue

      Another great Dub Syndicate set, 'Strike the Balance' features vocal contributions from mainstay Bim Sherman on a cover of Lloyd & Devon’s 'Cuss Cuss', and Shara Nelson (about to become a household name via her contributions to Massive Attack’s 'Blue Lines') on a version of Serge Gainsbourg's 'Je T'aime'.

      Originally released in 1989, and coinciding with the beginnings of Dub Syndicate as a touring unit.

      Dub Syndicate

      Stoned Immaculate - 2025 Reissue

        Probably the best known Dub Syndicate album, this 1991 set was recorded between Jamaica and London, with the rock solid rhythms of band leader Style Scott augmented by a number of additional players, including guitar from Skip McDonald, vocals by Lee “Scratch” Perry and Akabu, samples of the late, great Prince Far I, and keyboards from Keith Levene
        .
        It also marks a period in which the label was embraced as much by acid house afficianados as hardcore dub heads, with this album becoming a staple of the post-rave ‘comedown’ session. The title track is a veritable On-U Sound anthem, mashing up reggae, tripped out electronica, The Doors and Motown into an epic groove, guaranteed to get crowds moving from the sound system session to the festival field, and all points in between.

        Out of print on vinyl for many years, this edition has been re-cut by Frank Merritt at The Carvery, with an inner sleeve featuring rare photography by Coneyl Jay and new liner notes by Rob Harris (Test Pressing).

        Dub Syndicate

        Echomania - 2025 Reissue

          Classic Dub Syndicate album that sees drummer "Style" Scott and bassist
          "Flabba" Holt, bedrock of the mighty Roots Radics, holding together the monstrous rhythms, while Adrian Sherwood works his magic at the controls.

          Features guest appearances from Lee “Scratch” Perry on 'Dubbing Psycho Thriller' and 'Dubaddisababa', Michael Franti (Beatnigs/Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy) on 'No No', and tabla virtuoso Talvin Singh on several tracks.

          Dub Syndicate

          Ital Breakfast - 2025 Reissue

            Another classic set of prime Dub Syndicate on this 1996 album, with Style Scott gathering even more crack Jamaican players together for the rhythms, featuring musicians who between them had done time in the likes of the Roots Radics, Soul Syndicate, Joe Gibbs’ Professionals, and Bunny Lee’s Aggrovators.

            This incredible legacy is augmented by Adrian Sherwood’s work at the mixing desk back in London, overdubbing the London-based Skip McDonald and Akabu, and working his sonic magic on the raw material, a true transatlantic dub collaboration! Includes a cameo by the legendary deejay I Roy on the
            title track, and Lee "Scratch" Perry making a guest appearance on 'The Captain's Trance Mission'.

            Out of print on vinyl for many years, this edition has been re-cut by Frank Merritt at The Carvery, with an inner sleeve featuring rare photography by Coneyl Jay and new liner notes by Rob Harris (Test Pressing).

            Dub Syndicate

            Out Here On The Perimeter 1989-1996

              A follow-up to the 'Ambience In Dub' set that anthologised the early Dub Syndicate albums, 'Out Here On The Perimeter 1989-1996' picks up the story in the late 1980s with Style Scott coming more to the forefront of the project as bandleader and co-producer, and the group emerging as a live entity, mirroring the trajectory of Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah of labelmates African Head Charge.

              This was also the period of their greatest popularity, with a classic series of albums that combined the best of Jamaican musicianship and the wild studio experimentation of UK production maverick Adrian Sherwood, resulting in music that appealed to ravers and dreads alike. Sherwood has also concocted a special bonus album of brand new version excursions on rhythms from the period.

              This box set includes four albums from that period, plus 'Obscured By Version' - an album of new productions based on classic Dub Syndicate Rhythms.
