Tough jungle rhythms, dub basslines, wild guitar, and forceful high-speed raps drawn from South Asian roots
Asian Dub Foundation are a genre unto themselves. Their combination of tough jungle rhythms, dub basslines, wild guitar, and forceful high-speed raps, overlaid by references to their South Asian roots has established the group as notorious in the live circuit.
In 2019, ADF reissued their Mercury Prize-nominated 1998 classic, Rafi’s Revenge garnering ecstatic reviews and the messages within it seeming as relevant today as the day they were written. The group released their ninth studio album, Access Denied, in 2020 The album showcases ADF in full-spectrum mode; with tracks going from tough, jungle punk to meditative orchestras.
