To celebrate the 20th anniversary of In A Space Outta Sound, George Evelyn aka DJ E.A.S.E has handed over the tapes to dub maestro Adrian Sherwood to go on a heady version excursion with eight tracks from the original record, in the spirit of the reggae and sound system roots that informed the original album. The result is a fresh take on a much-loved classic, in the lineage of albums such as Massive Attack’s No Protection and Spoon’s Lucifer On The Moon. Features bold new re-works of iconic tracks such as “You Wish” (appearing here as “You Bliss”) and “Flip Ya Lid” (mutated into “Flippin Eck”). As well as his trademark mixing desk wizardry, Sherwood has also brought in some of the core On-U Sound players to add additional instrumentation and turn this collaboration into something which is much more than the sum of its parts. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nightmaresonwax.bandcamp.com\/album\/in-a-space-outta-dub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLabel\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2026 marks the 20th anniversary of Nightmares On Wax's (George Evelyn) seminal In a Space Outta Sound, as a dub clash with On-U Sound producer and mixing desk wizard Adrian Sherwood titled \u003cem\u003eIn a Space Outta Dub\u003c\/em\u003e, revisioning eight of the 2006 album's songs. While the original tunes remain recognizable, Sherwood adds his own visionary sonic signature full of humid warmth, languid rhythms, and sultry grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpener \"You Bliss\" is a sonic redesign of \"You Wish.\" The original William Bell Stax guitar sample remains, but it's submerged by smoky saxophone and an organ that sounds like it was lifted from the Doors' LA Woman sessions. Sherwood's trademark dread bassline is boosted, heavily reverbed, and echo-laden. It sounds quite stoned and lushly psychedelic. It's followed by \"On Purpose,\" a lithe trippy, soulful redo of \"Soul Purpose,\" a downtempo exercise in '70s soul with hip-hop overtones that has been rendered into something approaching a 21st century lover's rock in dub. The loosely strummed guitar intro underscores the vocal amid nyabinghi style drums and flanged keys flit around the foreground before saxophone and piano join in a croon over a languid bassline and cello that add an exotica flavor. \"Flippin' Eck\" is \"Flip Ya Lid.\" The original offered revisioned rocksteady developed from a rhythm guitar loop in Lloyd Charmers' killer \"Oh Me Oh My\" released in 1970. That iconic six-string vamp has been replaced by a simmering Hammond B-3, a detuned bass, and nocturnal piano with a lazy, languid drum kit. Evelyn allows Sherwood license with the track as sound collisions of video game lasers and distorted sonic blasts occur intermittently. Closer \"Nyabinghi Dub\" is a radical redo of \"Passion,\" strained through pizzicato and bowed cello, soulful melodica, jazz piano, and syncopated drumming with a bluesy electric guitar adding ballast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn a Space Outta Dub\u003c\/em\u003e is a glorious collaboration, offering honest, imaginative, and sometimes radical touches from Sherwood's On-U Sound crew that showcases admiration and imagination in this wildly creative re-visioning of a classic downtempo album. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/in-a-space-outta-dub-mw0004759060\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2oZbenjXnLxd1GNp3eTzgD?utm_source=generator\u0026amp;theme=0\u0026amp;si=e50dbd0f32034166\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Warp Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2026\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic, Hip Hop, Reggae, Funk \/ Soul\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Dub, Trip Hop, Downtempo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Downtempo\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warp Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48234926801054,"sku":"5056818808890","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a2018587085_10.jpg?v=1788502849","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.com\/products\/nightmares-on-wax-vs-adrian-sherwood-in-a-space-outta-dub","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
