Playgroup- Epic Sound Battle Chapter One

Label: Lantern

Released 2021

Playgroup is the so-called English version of Jamaican dub, informed by the industrial revolution and the studio wizardry of On U Sound acolytes. Bruce Smith (Pop Group, Slits) on drums, Crucial Tony (Creation Rebel, Dub Syndicate, Singers & Players) on bass and guitars, Sean Oliver (New Age Steppers, Rip Rig & Panic) on guitar, the almighty Style Scott (Creation Rebel, Dub Syndicate, New Age Steppers) on drums and percussionists Eskimo (African Head Charge, Creation Rebel, Mark Stewart And The Maffia) and Bonjo I (African Head Charge) are among the main conspirators here. Produced by none else than Adrian Sherwood Epic Sound Battles Chapter One still resonates with its original dark humor and guerrilla warfare tactics.
