6 Mix: Adrian Sherwood

I'm guessing that as part of the On-U Sound 30 year anniversary celebrations, this is another example of (the rather belated) recognition of the label's, and of course Mr. Sherwood's, fantastic contribution to our musical education.

An eclectic 2 hour mix, broadcast on BBC Radio 6 Music on Saturday 28 January 2012 at 22:00.

While much of it will be familiar to On-U Sound aficionados (African Head Charge, Mark Stewart, Bim Sherman, New Age Steppers, Gary Clail), there's also some tasters from Adrian's forthcoming album, and other rarities that, to the best of my knowledge, are not available elsewhere (the Congo Natty dubplate of Max Romeo's all time classic Chase The Devil and Adrian's own dubplate of Caspa's Where's My Money?).

Oh, and an Arabic version of Bob Marley's War...

Well worth a listen. And that's the understatement of the year.

Karmadrome/Eat Me, Drink Me, Love Me, Kill Me CD

One of the many CD versions of the 12" posted originally here.

Think this was the first outing for PWEI-Zation since it first hit the turntables in 1989 on the release of Very Metal Noise Pollution.

One for the completists amongst us.

92º... The Incredible P.W.E.I. Vs. Dirty Harry

Another fine slab of musicality from Stourbridge's finest, and like other posts here, taken from the excellent Cure For Sanity.

All three tracks stand up to scrutiny, with The Incredible P.W.E.I. Vs. Dirty Harry particularly liable to induce dubbed-out foot-tapping.

Flood is credited with original production for tracks 1 and 2, and the remix for both these tracks are down to the prolific Boilerhouse.

2. 92º Boilerhouse (The Birth, The Death Mix)

Go on, make your day. You know you want to...
