"Adrian Sherwood of course knows his musical herstory and has spent a lifetime working as an ally with female artists from the very beginnings of his On-U Sound label with the New Age Steppers, a supergroup he co-founded with the Slits singer Ari Up that also featured Neneh Cherry, Vivian Goldman and Vicki Aspinall in its line-up. He also released New York-no wave singer Judy Nylon’s sole album 1982’s ‘Pal Judy’, worked with Akabu, the all-female reggae band and premiered Shara Nelson of Massive Attack fame on his label issuing her 1983 debut single ‘Aiming at Your Heart’. He also put out ‘Short and Sweet’, the 1992 debut album from Annie Anxiety Bandez under the Little Annie moniker and aided his daughter Denise Sherwood’s auspicious first album 2020’s ‘This Road’ on Evergreen Recordings. Putting the project together was lengthy. It’s been some ten years in the making but the process itself was remarkably straightforward. “In this day and age it’s easier than ever to connect,” says Sherwood. “You simply digitise a rhythm, send a file of it to Japan, China, Tunisia, Africa, the vocalist sings on it, sends it back, it’s brilliant. Technology means we can unify the world through music.” He adds, “like most people who love reggae, I am obsessed with versions, which are unique to JA music. When you hear the rhythm it’s a work of art and you love to hear countless versions of the same rhythm. I started accumulating and versioning rhythms, some existing rhythms such as ‘War’ and some new ones. At one time I even considered doing a whole album of versions of the ‘War’ rhythm.” The nucleus of the new versions originated from a session in London with such reggae luminaries as keyboardist Franklin ‘Bubbler’ Waugh, who played with Sly and Robbie; the late bassist George Oban and drummer Style Scott, together with Sherwood’s trusty rhythm section, plus guitarist Vince Black and the Ital Horns. “We broke the rhythms down and re-cut them,” he says. “We remade them, rebuilt them completely, then upgraded them, making them better and better and better each time and then we invited the singers to sing over them. The project kept evolving. It kept growing and has turned into something extraordinarily powerful.” Sherwood is proud of the work everyone has created, and rightfully so. “It’s the right people working together at the right time with the right label. It might not be commercial but it is a beautiful thing. I know people are going to love it.” He also has plans to take the ‘Dub No Frontiers’ album out on the road. “The vision from the beginning was to make it a live thing, to have this amazing line up backed by an all-female band. Imagine that.”"
