	Asian Dub Foundation
		Asian Dub Foundation grew out of a Community Music project in the Farringdon area of London, and ADF still feel that their music is strongly linked to the community that nurtured them.
		It's as simple as that." The Asian Dub Foundation sound is broad enough to take in the traditional melodies of India, the turntables and rapping of hip-hop, the samples and beats of drum and bass and the guitars, bass and drums of rock and roll.
		ADF have campaigned vociferously for a review of the case, the details of which strongly suggest that Satpal was wrongly convicted: clearly, they view their music as a medium for higher issues.

	AMZ - December, 1998 -- Asian Dub Foundation
		ADF took it's moniker from it's origins as a teacher-student relationship developed into a political force of break-beats and master-mixed messages.
		ADF also uses this cool, twangy, middle-eastern guitar sound for spice, which serves as some of the hook in the more tangible songs.
		Luckily for ADF, their passion is reflected in their drive for an original approach to their chosen musical path, and has resulted in a talented, driven and extremely listenable album.

		"Dub is the teacher," ADF chant on the racial-unity stomp of "Dub Mentality," "Jungle is the preacher." Punk shouter, ragga chatter, and rap rhymer Master D even declares himself "iron like a Lion from Zion" on "Naxalite," the album's surf-jungle opener, which is named for a late-'60s uprising of landless West Bengali peasants.
		ADF, who perform this Sunday at Axis, hooked up as part of Community Music, an educational center in London, and they have always seen themselves as more of a trans-generational pedagogical sound system than a band (their ages range from late teens to mid 30s).
		ADF guitarist and programmer Chandrasonic once told me he thought ADF were "the real Brit-pop," a post-punk fl and Asian ghetto mini-movement that reflected the racial and political realities of contemporary England, not Beatlesque daydreams of UK whiteness.

		ADF 's distinctive sound is a combination of hard ragga-jungle rhythms, indo-dub basslines, searing sitar- inspired guitars and 'traditional' sounds gleaned from their parents' record collections, shot through with fast-chat conscious lyrics.
		ADF did their first headlining tour of the US and Canada in the Spring of 1999 getting an excellent response, with the majority of the dates being sold out.
		Audio Active from Japan accompanied ADF on this tour and it was dubbed the 'Asian Invasion.' Their third album Community Music was released in March 2000, named of course after the place where they started and out of respect to their ethnically and culturally diverse 'outernational' fanbase.

		Indeed, Asian Dub Foundation began life as a sound system (hence the directness of the band name), a role which still complements when not playing typical concerts.
		It's the fact that South Asians had a band that were in radar view that didn't just strum chords, that didn't only descend from original blues and country music, and were rising.
		Asian Dub Foundation have sewn the seeds and have an avid fanbase worldwide still.

		Asian Dub Foundation brought their thunderous fusion of rap, break-beat and punk into the mainstream with their debut album RAFI's Revenge.
		A lot of Asian people haven't heard of ADF because of the way the music industry is segregated.
		Dub is the foundation of our music because it is about heavy bass and rhythmic aspects of our music - to the front.

	Eye Weekly - Asian Dub Foundation - 10.29.98
		Asian Dub Foundation recently made headlines in the British music press after comedian David Baddiel made an off-the-cuff remark during a record industry panel discussion, joshing that the group's music "scared him" and that their song "Assassin" contains a death threat.
		When the concept of dub started, it had to do with people like Lee Perry getting sounds out of a four-track tape recorder which people even back then expected to only be produced on 16 tracks.
		ADF are also now running their own music workshops for community youth in a 10-week pilot project, which, sponsorship permitting, will eventually become a full-time learning centre they hope will yield CDs by the kids.

	Asian Dub Foundation: Collective musings
		ADFED had a significant impact on ADF itself after Zaman departed to devote his energies to civil rights and anti-racism organizations at the end of 2000.
		ADF came out of a specific workshop in which Deeder was a student.
		When I realized that what dub bass was doing was basically playing a cyclical melody as opposed to simply underpinning chords played on a guitar or keyboard, I thought “Wow, this is a wicked instrument.” Dub is very subversive because it inverts Western music in that the hook line—the melody line—is played by the bass.

	Ghadar May 2000
		ADF ‘like their politics’ (Huq, Footloose Magazine, March 1998) and ‘theirs is a no compromise in your face agitation.
		But it is important to not reduce ADF to an insular British context, as the forms of political mobilisation they advocate are also linked to the subcontinent at the same time that they bear upon community organisation and education in the UK.
		What is important here is that ADF persevere with their use of music as an organising tool despite the protocols of the music industry, culturalist commentators and the State force arrayed against them and like-minded activists.

	Asian Dub Foundation - Biography
		Asian Dub Foundation - the London collective has been pushing back the limits of artistic expression, delivering a series of explosive albums and gigs, for some ten years now.
		Asian Dub Foundation's music is simultaneously atmospheric and in your face, it's involved and it's rousing, it's catchy and it's cerebral; it connects communities, breaks down clichés, and offers solutions while others merely subscribe to flimsy consensus.
		Blending dub and post-punk guitar with incisive melodies, "Enemy Of The Enemy", is a scathing attack, an unstoppable sonic manifesto.

		Aniruddha Das and youth worker John Pandit were tutors at the Community Music House and one of their students - Deeder Zaman - a 15-year old Bengali rapper (related to vocalist/bassist of State of Bengal).
		ADF's defining signature is their live shows, which have brought the group the reputation of being one of the best live bands in Britain.
		The band has focused equally on deconstructing stereotypes (no, they are not going to play bhangra because they are brown boys) and give access to play music through projects which focus less on the myth of the musical genius and more on accessibility and self-expression for the pure sake of it.

		Asian Dub Foundation's 2005 studio album 'Tank', is packed full of reggae, jungle rhythms and topical lyrics raising questions about life in 2005.
		ADF should consider dropping Asian since all I hear is the usual jungle, dub and rasta with some metal guitars.
		asian combines elements from their past such as faster beats and furious vocals/lyrics and present with songs like round up, warring dhol, tommorow begins today and melody7 adding more slowed downbeats and dub reggae flava on this.

		ADF is a talented crew of musicians...and I still hope to hear some creative music coming from them.
		Unfortunately, Asian Dub Foundation have added a new vocalist on this album who commits the biggest crime - he makes ADF sound unoriginal, and he appears to have nothing to say.

	3rd I South Asian Film Festival
		ADF, comprised of South Asian performing artists, began in 1993 and was at the roots of what became known as the "Asian Underground" movement.
		Because of ADF, suddenly it was cool and hip to be South Asian and the youth now had role models, a public face and music that related to their past, present and future.
		ADF's music, messages and performances demonstrated to South Asian kids that they didn't have to put up with racism, denigration, glass ceilings or other faces of cultural repression prevalent at the time.

	Asian Dub Foundation - Enemy of the Enemy : album review
		However, where ADF once hammered home their points, these days they seem content to be more like seasoned observers.
		At the risk of being churlish, it would have been nice to hear some all-out rocking from ADF on this album, a la Free Satpal Ram, not for the sake of it, but only because ADF are actually so good at venting their rage in those musical surroundings.

	IRR: The HomeBeats soundtrack: an interview with Asian Dub Foundation
		Asian Dub Foundation was first formed in the East End when Quddus Ali was attacked by the BNP in 1993.
		It actually continued the workshop that we were doing which was about young Asians getting into the music industry, learning to perform, learning the experience of performance and articulating what they want to say.
		The most important element of what we can do is educate, inspire and teach people who want to get into the idea of music, of music performance, the methodology that you can use, a blueprint as it were.
