Singers and Players Vol 1 – On-u Sound

SINGERS AND PLAYERS VOL 1 – ON-U SOUND 1989

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, dub reggae was changing the sound of music in the UK and Jamaica. The dub cut from Singers and Players Vol 1 shows how this style is still strong today. Dub is more than just music—it is a culture. It brings together deep bass, echo, and heavy rhythms, and you can feel its power at modern reggae events. The producer behind Singers and Players Vol 1 is Adrian Sherwood. He is known for his work with the On-U Sound label, where he mixes roots reggae with experimental sounds. Sherwood’s touch brings a new energy to classic reggae rhythms and helps the dub cut stand out. Bim Sherman’s voice is key to this record. He is famous for songs like “Devious Woman, ” “Fit To Survive, ” and “Revolution. ” His singing style is smooth and soulful, adding emotion to every track. Bom Sherman joins with “Reaching The Badman, ” showing a different side of the roots sound. Congo Ashanti Roy, known for “African Blood, ” “Breaking Down The Pressure, ” “Moses, ” and “Snipers In The Street, ” brings a strong roots message and unique vocal style. Jah Shaka is respected for his “Kunta Kinte Version, ” a classic in sound system culture. Jah Woosh’s “Follower” adds another layer to the mix. Today, fans still enjoy these dub cuts at dances and festivals. The deep rhythms and creative mixing keep roots reggae fresh and alive.
