On-U Sound are proud to announce Midnight Scorchers by Horace Andy, a sequel to the hugely successful Midnight Rocker album, out 16th September 2022. Official On-U Sound Store.
This is the ‘sound system’ take on the original sessions, featuring brand new tracks; radical dancehall re-works with guest toasters; and stripped back instrumental version excursions in deep dub reggae style.
“Midnight Scorchers is really nice, it’s different to Midnight Rocker and more of a dub album. I’ll be sitting at home listening and full joying it on my Speaker Box dem!’" Horace Andy
“I’m very happy with the way 'Scorchers’ has turned out; for me, it’s the perfect accompaniment to Midnight Rocker. It’s not just a dub album - the new mixes, and the new tracks take it out to the sound system arena.” Adrian Sherwood
On-U Sound are also pleased to present Midnight Rocker on a new Gold Vinyl limited edition. Look out for an exclusive bundle on our official store containing Midnight Scorchers coloured vinyl, Midnight Rocker Gold Vinyl, and a new On-U Sound logo slipmat.
In the same way as the music has been re-imagined, so has the artwork, with award-winning animator Ruff Mercy putting a street style graffiti spin on things, also in evidence in his psychedelic and colourful video for first single “Feverish”, a massive new version of one of Horace Andy’s Studio One era classics.
“What a project to be asked to work on. The music feels so colourful and vivid. A pulsating, swirling ball of colour. I wanted to represent that in the visuals. When you hear it you’ll see what I mean.” Ruff Mercy
