Adrian Sherwood on "The Collapse of Everything"

In our first episode of 2026, the l egendary UK record producer, remixer, and dub pioneer Adrian Sherwood reflects on his fourth solo studio effort, The Collapse of Everything , released last summer on his On-U Sound label. He explains how the album's melodic, contemplative sonic headspace balances modern plugin technology with the raw, "breathing" energy of live performances. He also talks about many of his collaborators like Doug Wimbish and Brian Eno , but also dear departed cohorts such as Keith LeBlanc, Mark Stewart, and Lee "Scratch" Perry. Over his five-decade career, Sherwood has become synonymous with a distinctive "sound-scientist" approach to the mixing desk, most notably associated with the groundbreaking projects African Head Charge , the industrial-funk powerhouse Tackhead , rhythmic explorers Dub Syndicate , and the seminal roots-dub band Creation Rebel.
