So can anyone give us the "Lowdown" on Adrian sherwood? All I can find out is that he seems to be a bit of a Dubmiester boy,anyone seen him perform before?
I've never seen him perform but I know he formed On-U Sounds in the 70s which was a reggae/dub label in the UK. In the 90's he started Pressure Sounds which re-issued old reggae stuff. That's about the extent of my knowledge about him.
I really like the Prince Far-I and the Arabs release I have from Pressure Sounds but am not a fan of the Dub Syndicate CD I have that was released on On-U.
Try allmusic.com to find out more about him.

Adrian's claim to fame came from his fusion of dub techniques with the post-punk regime/sounds of the 80s (he was a legendary remixer), along with his love/propigation of old dub as mentioned above - and his African Head Charge project.
