Dub No Frontiersis inspired by and features female vocalists thatAdrian Sherwoodand theOn-U Soundlabel knew from the UK or had met while travelling around the world. Many of the singers said they felt the dub and reggae arena was a bit of a male preserve and a little intimidating even, so Sherwood decided to invite artistes to perform a song of their choice, all in non-English on his rhythm tracks. Vocalists includeLikkle Mai(singing in Japanese),Rita Morar(Hindi),Kerieva(Romani),Neyssatou(Arabic) &Yehaiyahan(Chinese).

The album is dedicated to the memory of bothAriane Ari Up ForsterandLincoln Valentine Style Scottwith whom the project started.
