Preview: Asian Dub Foundation @ Electric Brixton (London, 9th October 2015)
After twenty years, twenty-two to be precise, Asian Dub Foundation are still impacting and hitting the global music scene with no mercy.
The remarkable thing is that they do it with simplicity: just listen to their latest albums and you’ll find the same mix of bhangra beats, punk temperament, electro-dub mood and hip hop outspokenness you could catch twenty years ago in “Facts and Fictions” and “Rafi’s Revenge”.
Of course much water has flown under the bridge for the Hackney septet and their more riotous and groundbreaking expressions have inevitably been softened.
At the same time, Chandrasonic, Sun-J, Pandit G and music partners have regularly shown that they were born for show, still entrancing their fans today as yesterday.
Their next London gig on the stage to present their latecomer work “More Signal, More Noise” will be indeed an unmissable event for anyone who has followed ADF’s trajectory, but also the ones who has an interest in the recent music development.

Few bands have influenced the course of a particular music scene as much as Asian Dub Foundation. Even fewer have done it throughout their twenty-year career, with a fan base all over the world. They are arguably the most socially conscious musical innovators, a mouthpiece for their community, transforming local…
This was a sort of homecoming… Because to enjoy an Asian Dub Foundation full-band performance with all the trimmings, including their celebrated DJ-set, it’s not an everyday thing even if you’re in London and the sextet is still the best expression of the city music scene. The band has indeed diversified…
