Information
‘Nuh Skin Up’ is the final instalment in the triumvirate of Keith Hudson’s innovative dub outings that began with ‘Pick A Dub’, moved on through ‘Brand’ and culminated in this long overlooked album. A deep, dark and brooding slab of dub that showcases the rhythms of The Soul Syndicate at their most imaginative it was built from mixes taken from Keith’s vocal album ‘From One Extreme To Another’.

This set represents Keith Hudson at his most enigmatic and standout tracks, such as ‘Ire Ire’ and ‘Troubles’, are as good as anything he ever produced. Sparse, spare and hypnotic dub music from a true master:

“Woke up this morning. First thing I saw was the devil…”

Another winner from Pressure Sounds.

As heavy as it gets!

As soon as 'Ire ire' kicks in you know you're in the heavyweight league. Even as a seasoned admirer of the deeper end of roots and dub, the sheer propulsive weight of these skanking rhythms still have a power that takes me aback with every listen. A huge, spacious production along with sparse snippets of Keith's brooding, darkside vocals and some fresh instrumental approaches give this music a unique aura. An essential disc for lovers of the deep.

It's all in the bass

Heavyweight dub from Keith Hudson. Soul Syndicate are exceptional musically, and Hudson's weird interpretation of dub makes for some eerie and irie listening. The vocal snippets are used to great effect on this LP, but it's the bass that stands out. Some really memorable bass lines. Wonferful packaging and sleeve notes from Pressure too. Nice!
