Midnight Scorchers (Orange Vinyl)

Brand new sealed LP, Album, Limited Edition, Orange vinyl.

The resurgence of Horace Andy continues with yet another smoking collection of reggae dubs and dancehall reworks on the legendary On-U Sound entitled Midnight Scorchers.

A performer with over 50 years experience in the music business, most in the electronic music world have gotten to know Horace Andy through his guest vocal work with Massive Attack or touring of his 1970's Jamaican hits. On-U's prior Midnight Rocker LP from earlier in 2022 looked to switch things up by showcasing Andy's remarkable skill as a vocalist and arranger.

A companion album to Rocker, this is Adrian Sherwood's 'sound system' take on the original sessions. Featuring new tracks; radical dancehall re-works with MC interjections from Daddy Freddy and Lone Ranger; and stripped back instrumental version excursions in classic dub reggae style. In the same spirit of reworking sounds to stress different rhythms and timbres, the album art for Rocker has also been re-jigged into graffiti by the animator Ruff Mercy, making this a fitting tribute to a legend of reggae.
