New Age Steppers

New Age Steppers

New Age Steppers, the eclectic dub collective formed in the late 1970s, were ahead of their time, blending reggae rhythms with post-punk experimentation. Led by the visionary producer Adrian Sherwood and featuring an ever-changing lineup of musicians from the UK underground scene, the Steppers created a sound that was both danceable and thought-provoking.

Their 1980 self-titled debut album remains a cult classic, with tracks like "Fade Away" and "My Whole World" showcasing their unique fusion of dub, punk, and avant-garde influences. The band's distinctive sound drew comparisons to contemporaries like The Clash and PiL, but the Steppers always had a knack for pushing boundaries and defying expectations.

Despite their influential status, the New Age Steppers never quite achieved mainstream success, which only adds to their mystique. But for those in the know, their music remains essential listening – a sonic journey that blends genres and defies categorization.

Whether you're a seasoned dub aficionado or a casual listener looking to expand your musical horizons, the New Age Steppers have something to offer. So why not take a trip back in time and discover the sound of a band that was truly ahead of their time? Trust us, you won't regret it.
