Combining dancehall, dub beats, ragga and punk rock influences with hard hitting lyrics, the multicultural Asian Dub Foundation are back, with their new album “A History of Now” on February 7th .
Jimmy Cauty, founder member of the revolutionary pop groups The Orb, The JAMMS, KLF and art organisations K-Foundation and Blacksmoke, has a roguish and voluble approach that has earned him a cult following for work that remains radical, responsive and darkly comical. Jimmy Cauty in another new venture has turned his talents to making the new video for Asian Dub Foundation's track “A History Of Now”.
A stream to this memorable video featuring the band along with Jimmy's son, Alfie, is here: link
