Asian Dub Foundation - 94–Now: Collaborations
Legendary UK band Asian Dub Foundation is
celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year! Asian Dub Foundation are a genre unto themselves. Their unique combination of jungliest
rhythms, dub bass lines and wild guitar overlaid by references to their South Asian roots via militant high-speed rap has established
them as one of the best live bands in the world. The story began in the early 90’s when ADF formed from a music workshop in East
London at the institution which is their spiritual home, Community Music. Their unique beginnings in a music workshop in east London
shaped both their sound and their educational aspirations, setting up their own organisation ADF Education (ADFED), plus instigating
campaigns on behalf of those suffering miscarriages of justice. Building a solid live reputation in the mid-90’s, they gained worldwide
recognition sharing the stage with Rage Against The Machine, the Beastie Boys, Radiohead and Primal Scream. On record, they've
collaborated with Radiohead, Sinead O'Connor, Iggy Pop, Adrian Sherwood, and Chuck D. In addition to their blistering live reputation
ADF were one of the first bands to experiment with live film re-scores (“Cineconcerts”), beginning with their rapturously received reinterpretation of the French classic La Haine back in 2001. In 30 years, Asian Dub Foundation have racked up 1000’s of unforgettable
shows, 9 studio albums alongside a social and educational activism that both created the group and sustains them today. In celebration
of the longevity of this unique project they are announcing an extensive European tour for 2024-25 of more than 60 shows and a
special album showcasing their many iconic collaborations. “94-Now: Collaborations” will be released on September 27, 2024!
