- Jackson has overseen a compilation of choice cuts from the catalogue of Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound label.
Trevor Jackson has put together a compilation for On-U Sound.
Science Fiction Dancehall Classics will come out on Adrian Sherwood's label on October 2nd. It sees Jackson picking out dancehall, dub and post-punk music from the On-U Sound catalogue as well a few unreleased cuts. The likes of Mark Stewart, Neneh Cherry, Massive Attack's Shara Nelson and Sherwood's various projects (African Headcharge, Tackhead) all appear on the collection. It will be released on triple-vinyl, double-CD and digital formats.
"Not only did On-U sound and Adrian Sherwood's early production work introduce me to dimensions of sound I'd never experienced, inspire me to start making music and start my own record label, his live mixing at a notoriously loud Mark Stewart and the Maffia gig during the mid-80's also gave me lifelong tinnitus," says Jackson, who has previously overseen two Metal Dance compilations for Strut.
He adds: "On-U's timeless releases portray a savage disregard for conformity, representative of an era where attitude and ethos spoke volumes. An uncontrived mix of cultures, minds and powerful personalities combined to produce revolutionary sonic adventures that sound as unique and vital today as they did over 30 years ago. Putting this compilation together is nothing short of an honour."
