ADRIAN SHERWOOD

Johnny Temple, Girls against Boys:

Producing the most whacked-out and unpredictable recordings in reggae, Sherwood has always driven the point home that musical boundaries are fluid. Sherwood’s dissecting of songs is so over-the-top it baffles the mind and stomach to figure out how the ideas were ever generated. The haphazard sounds emanating from his records are a gold mine of inspiration for anyone seeking to deconstruct their music.

A white kid who grew up in England during the punk rock explosion of the ‘70s, Adrian Sherwood hardly fit the profile of someone destined to be a master producer of dub reggae. But in becoming just that, he brought the worlds of dub and rock closer together. With his On-U Sound label serving as the meeting ground, Sherwood applied dub’s studio techniques to post-punk styles and used post-punk’s wide-ranging sound palette to modernize and expand the possibilities of dub.

While he doesn’t play a traditional instrument, Sherwood has done as much as anyone to define the studio itself as an instrument for creating and shaping sound. As such, Sherwood is an important reference point – particularly in the U.K. – for makers of electronic music in all genres, from techno to trip-hop to drum ‘n’ bass. In addition to countless projects at On-U, Sherwood has remixed some of the biggest acts of the ‘80s and ‘90s, including Depeche Mode, the Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, and Garbage, to name only a few.
