ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION – 94Now: Collaborations (Repress) – LP – Vinyl [JUL 11]

LP – Black Vinyl. New compilation of ADF collaborations in celebration of the bands 30th Anniversary (2024).

(2024 Blurb): Legendary UK bandAsian Dub Foundation is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year! Asian Dub Foundation are a genre unto themselves. Their unique combination of jungliest rhythms, dub bass lines and wild guitar overlaid by references to their South Asian roots via militant high-speed rap has established them as one of the best live bands in the world.

The story began in the early 90s when ADF formed from a music workshop in East London at the institution which is their spiritual home, Community Music. Their unique beginnings in a music workshop in east London shaped both their sound and their educational aspirations, setting up their own organisation ADF Education (ADFED), plus instigating campaigns on behalf of those suffering miscarriages of justice. Building a solid live reputation in the mid-90s, they gained worldwide recognition sharing the stage with Rage Against The Machine, the Beastie Boys, Radiohead and Primal Scream. On record, they’ve collaborated with Radiohead, Sinead O’Connor, Iggy Pop, Adrian Sherwood, and Chuck D. In addition to their blistering live reputation ADF were one of the first bands to experiment with live film re-scores (Cineconcerts), beginning with their rapturously received re-interpretation of the French classic La Haine back in 2001. In 30 years, Asian Dub Foundation have racked up 1000s of unforgettable shows, 9 studio albums alongside a social and educational activism that both created the group and sustains them today.
