Limited to 100 copies in the United States

The NJE’s BBC 6Music session + radical versions of classic tracks from their debut album, all mixed by On-U Sound legend Adrian Sherwood. Turn on, tune in, and float off in dub…

The NJE jumped at the chance to work with legendary On-U Sound producer Adrian Sherwood when the opportunity arose—and it happened twice in the same week in Spring 2018. The band was invited to perform at Sherwood At The Controls, a bi-annual event in North London. The night they opened proceedings was headlined by Asian Dub Foundation and featured DJs Steve Davis and Kavus Torabi.

Mark, Terry, and Simon had barely stopped grinning at the idea of sharing a bill with one of snooker’s greats when Gideon Coe’s producer called from BBC 6Music to ask if they could record a session at Maida Vale for the August Bank Holiday dub special broadcast. The answer was yes—and they enlisted their new collaborator Adrian Sherwood to provide a live dub mix.

The collaboration proved so natural that plans for future work were set in motion. In the meantime, the band brought four tracks to On-U headquarters in Kent, where Sherwood created special dub versions to complement the BBC recordings.

Side One features the BBC session.
Side Two presents radical remixes of four tracks from The NJE’s debut album Afloat.

Turn on, tune in, and float off in dub…
