Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Adrian Sherwood

The reggae pioneer charges forward into his 80s, making music that recalls African roots while reaching for the vastness of outer space.

Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry is one of the most enduring and original reggae producers and artists of all time, whose on-the-edge creative genius has seen him work with everyone from The Heptones to The Skatalites to The Clash.

Dub producer Adrian Sherwood is a long-time collaborator of Perry’s, and co-produced his December 2019 release Heavy Rain, which also features Brian Eno and The Wailers’ Vin Gordon.

Always one to follow the beat of his own drummer, the self-dubbed ‘Upsetter’ Perry continues to break new ground with the hardest rebel Rasta tunes and the most unpredictable instrumental dubs.
