Adrian Sherwood has shared the second official single from Avant Gardening, a collection of outtakes and rarities from his New Age Steppers collective with the one-and-only Ari Up.
Streaming exclusively on this very site, “Some Dub” is an echo chamber expression of “Some Love,” the lead track on the group’s Foundation Steppers LP from 1983.
A long overdue reissue of that record will be released as part of a special Stepping Into a New Age box set on March 20th. The heavyweight collection features the duo’s aforementioned Avant Gardening full-length alongside four crucial albums, a 32-page book, and a fresh batch of liner notes led by writer Oli Warwick.
