about

Y.O.U is a blissfully emotive album of tripped out ambient hip hop instrumentals by FROM, written and recorded in the mid 90’s under Trevor Jacksons infamous production persona the Underdog .

Originally planned as a vocally led song based project that should of surfaced between his production for the Brotherhood's legendary British Hip Hop 'Elementalz album' (1996) and his highly acclaimed debut Playgroup release (2001), due to multiple reasons it’s not seen the light of day until now.

Available as a limited edition clear vinyl release (300 copies) & limited gatefold CD release (500 copies), the album consists of 11 tracks. Mostly beatless, dreamlike synth lines, ambient melodies, blissful guitars and soft fractured vocals draw you into a hallucinatory lucid 12bit world. Drawing on Jacksons progressive & jazz rock influences as well as psychedelia & early electronics the album closes with 'Belladonna’ a piano sampled homage to the east coast golden age hip hop pioneers.

All created on an Akai S950 mono sampler, limited to only 20 seconds sampling time and in conjunction with his Akai MG1212 12 channel mixer (which recorded on Betamax style tapes) and limited outboard gear Jackson honed his skills and from his bedroom produced the majority of his output at the time. With a huge vinyl collection of obscure records he dug deep into uncharted territories for samples and sound clips using material no one knew about or would think about touching in the mid 90’s.

The Underdog’s initial releases were on Jacksons own Bite It! recordings label started in 1991, a unique platform for UK Hip Hop with a visual aesthetic more akin to ECM and Factory than other rap labels, it's mission to push artists beyond the musical and cultural limitations prevalent at the time. Home to artists like the Brotherhood, Scientists of Sound. Little Pauly Ryan & Lewis Parker (who went on to sign to Massive Attacks Melancholic label), Bite It! became a great success, finally British rap had artists and releases that looked and sounded as good as their revered american counterparts. In 1993 Richard Russell who had just started running XL recordings asked Trevor to remix the House of Pain, resulting in a top ten record and in turn helped launch Jacksons musical career which he built via 100’s of remixes for likes of Massive Attack, Run DMC, U2 & the Cure.

Of the back of his remix success The Brotherhood signed a major label deal in 1994 with Virgin Records, their ELEMENTALZ album released in 1996 produced by Jackson is still lauded by many as one of the finest British hip hop albums of all time. Jackson continued to remix and produce as the Underdog until managerial issues forced him out of the project he’d been instrumental in instigating. Soon after his close friend and manager tragically passed away, that along with the UK Hip hope scene becoming increasingly more volatile and the moral demise of rap music culture in general eventually convinced Trevor to hang up his hip hop hat for good.

After leaving the Brotherhood he started Output Recordings, Internationally and sonically diverse it gave Jackson a free reign to do as he pleased, with genre twisting releases from the likes of Fridge, Four Tet, Sonovac, Colder, his own Playgroup project, the Rapture and LCD Soundsystem along with a non compromising attitude, strong DIY aesthetic and consistently groundbreaking releases for its ten year life between 1996-2006 it became one of the most important and most respected independent labels in the world.

Trevor Jackson is one of the most consistent music producers alive. His catalogue is quite amazing for its sheer quantity and of course quality. You can hear how sensitive Jackson is to the sound he is making when listening to his tracks as he is right in there with you all the way! Jackson creates a sonic landscape that is all his own. Sit back and let Jackson take you to sweaty dark clubs, outdoor raves, kitchen parties and a future place you haven’t experienced yet. ross kennedy
