Adrian Sherwood, an influential British producer in the Dub reggae genre, is currently on tour promoting his new album titled 'The Collapse of Everything'. In an interview featured in the fan book 'I feel everything you say, I feel everything you hear', Sherwood emphasizes the significant impact of Lee 'Scratch' Perry on his musical development. Perry, a legendary Jamaican producer who passed away in 2021, is often celebrated as the only superstar to emerge from the Dub reggae scene, and his influence can be seen in the work of numerous artists, including Sherwood himself.

Sherwood's career, which began in the late 1970s, has seen him achieve global prominence similar to that of Perry. Born in 1958 in London, he is the founder of the On-U Sound label and has produced several albums for Perry, enhancing the latter's legacy, particularly with the 2019 albums 'Rainford' and its Dub version 'Heavy Rain'. Sherwood's contributions to the genre and his collaboration with Perry have solidified his status as a key figure in Dub reggae, suggesting that it may soon be time to recognize him with the same accolades awarded to Perry.

As Sherwood tours with his new album, he continues to push the boundaries of Dub and reggae music, drawing from the rich heritage established by pioneers like Perry. The title of the album, 'The Collapse of Everything', may imply a reflection on the current state of the world and the music industry, positioning Sherwood not only as a curator of the Dub reggae sound but also as a contemporary commentator on its future direction.
