On - U Sound

New Creation Rebel album coming out in October!

https://creationrebel.bandcamp.com/album/hostile-environment

Two tracks featuring leftover vocals by Prince Far I, one of which also features Daddy Freddy. Otherwise it's deep psychedelic dub instrumentals like they used to do. I love the old Creation Rebel albums so much that this is immediately one of the most exciting albums of the year for me.

I wrote about the new Creation Rebel album (and their whole awesome catalog) in this week's newsletter. It rules.

What's the deal with the name? Is there a pun i'm not getting? "On - U Sound?"

cheers for adding to the build up unperson.
really looking forward to this.

adrian has been on an amazing roll of late : LSP, Horace Andy, AHC etc ..

would have loved to been at the 3d surround sound gig he did recently.
the track he released to coincide with the gig sounds fantastic even in basic stereo.
would love a whole mixtape/album in that kind of style.

It's here at last — a 6CD Creation Rebel box set encompassing Dub From Creation, Close Encounters of the Third World, Rebel Vibrations, Starship Africa, Psychotic Jonkanoo and Hostile Environment, plus bonus tracks. Out March 29.

Sweeeeeet

i've never managed to locate a Close Encounters of the Third World so delighted to find this out.

Another box set coming in February 2025 — Dub Syndicate, Out Here On The Perimeter: 1989-1996.

Contains the albums Strike The Balance, Stoned Immaculate (the first thing of theirs I ever heard), Echomania and Ital Breakfast, plus a new bonus disc of rare tracks. I've already ordered my copy.

I finally found a used copy of the first Dub Syndicate box. That thing is pretty hard to come by.

I love the On-U box sets, New Age Steppers is my fave.
