Lineup Background
Adrian Sherwood is the founder of UK label On-U Sound, known for pioneering dub and post-punk-inflected mixing. Nightmares On Wax is the long-running project of British electronic musician George Evelyn, spanning downtempo and dub techno.
In the promoter's announcement, Silent Poets founder Norihiro Shimoda noted that Sherwood mixed material for Silent Poets in the late 1990s, making this shared bill with Nightmares On Wax personally significant. Peter Harris has long produced visual art for On-U Sound releases, and this live-painting segment extends that visual identity to the stage.
