On U Sound was formed in the early-1980s.Initially Creation Rebel, Prince Far I, Bim Sherman, LondOn Underground and The Mothmen formed the ‘crew’ responsible for the first records.Having worked doing live shows for a long period, it was decided to change the emphasis to making records.This decision was due to the difficulty of making a success of any one group.It was logical, in order to make any money at all, to take members of various groups and create ‘new’ ones.This resulted in many recordings ranging from the New Age Steppers to African Head Charge, from Singer &amp; Players to Barmy Army, Mark Stewart &amp; Maffia, Akabu and Dr. Pablo &amp; Dub Syndicate to name a few.

These deranged records are not exactly commercial but would be if enough people got the opportunity to hear them.Anyway, never mind.Those who have heard and continued to buy or tape On U Sound records have seldom been disappointed.

Wrongtom is a record producer and dj from South London, now residing in the not-so-trendy reaches of the east end, he spends his days playing with tape echo and watching B-movies in his makeshift studio hidden away in a converted nunnery.

Spanning over a decade, Tom’s career has covered a colourful patchwork of styles from Dancehall to Indie-Pop with the likes of Rockabilly, Dub, Ghettotech and Free Jazz filling the gaps in between. Starting out as a percussionist playing on records for Bob Jones’ Black On Black label and Kingsize Records, Tom soon taught himself to produce with some hand-me-down analogue gear and a cracked copy of Cubase, his early productions bridging the gap between new school breaks and old freestyle-electro records.

Somewhere down the line he got tangled in the web of pop music and in no time was touring the land with spiky soul boys Hard-Fi playing seemingly inappropriate records to thousands of indie kids which came to it’s ilogical conclusion on stage at Wembley Arena as 10,000 perplexed punters listened to a selection of B-More, Shut Up & Dance and Italo House classics. Through Hard-Fi, Tom notched up production credits on a UK number 1 LP and paved the way for his reggae/dub collective Stoneleigh Mountain Rockers, with whom he’s worked on projects for Trojan Records, Pama International (featuring 2 Tone luminary Lynval Golding) and now with UK rap legend Roots Manuva.

As a dj Tom’s traveled the world from Shanghai to Southampton playing in a variety of venues including sweaty basements, churches and even a former Yugoslavian army barracks, the bakery of the barracks in fact. Not content with subjecting the world to his record collection in the dance, he’s also tormented the airwaves via experimental station Resonance FM for a few years with his radio partner Mr Trick.

With his latest album with Roots Manuva in the can, you can expect a couple of new projects in the not so distant future, no doubt filling in a few more genre gaps on his CV in the process.
