Adrian Sherwood is a pioneering English record producer, audio engineer, and the founder of the On-U Sound record label, a crucible for the fusion of reggae with other genres such as punk, hip hop, and dub. Born in 1958, Sherwood became involved with the London reggae scene in the 1970s and quickly became known for his innovative production style, characterized by heavy use of effects, remixing techniques, and a futuristic approach to blending different sonic palettes. His work has pushed the boundaries of dub and contributed significantly to its evolution throughout the 1980s and beyond.

Over the years, Adrian Sherwood has applied his distinctive touch to remixes for a diverse array of artists, reflecting his cross-genre influences and his knack for creating immersive soundscapes. His discography encapsulates not only broad-ranging collaborations but also a commitment to socio-political themes and sonic experimentation. Recent projects like "Reset in Dub," "On-U In Space," and remixes like "To Let Go" and "Whirlpool Dub" are reflective of Sherwood's enduring ability to reinterpret and invigorate tracks with his dub-centric vision. His work has not only earned him a cult following but has also garnered him recognition as a critical figure in the development of the British and international dub scenes.
