Dancehall, dub beats, ragga and punk-rock combined with socially engaged lyrics: the multicultural Asian Dub Foundation returns in 2011. New album 'A History Of Now', to be released in early February, shows an ADF in fine form.
Lyrically, just as relevant and, musically, a melting-pot containing many years of British & Indian political history. Steve Chandra Savale is one of the mainstays of the band and so also proudly reports that 'in the 16 years of the band we have lived through a lot of change, how we make music, how we relate to people, we're completely transformed and this is a good way to mark that artistically'. The recordings took place in the Lynchmob Studios of Primal Scream- & Paul Weller-producer Brendan Lynch and was produced by Sanjay Taylor and the aforementioned Steve Chandra Savale. The video for the first single was directed by Jimmy Cauty, who we still know from the KLF.
AB has a long relationship with Asian Dub Foundation: this concert will be their fifth in AB. Including in 2003 when they were here for a live performance of their soundtrack to the Mathieu Kassovitz film 'La Haine'.
