Dub Syndicate is On-U Sound's premier dub outfit and a name synonymous with the label from its inception. Led by drummer Style Scott, who was also the rhythm force of The Roots Radics, Dub Syndicate emerged from the early Creation Rebel. Members of The Roots Radics frequently join Dub Syndicate, along with other On-U Sound players and singers. Collaborating mostly with Adrian Sherwood, Scott also worked with others like Bill Laswell and Lee Scratch Perry. In 1982, they released the groundbreaking album "Pounding System," exploring ambient and electro dub. Despite Scott's death in 2014, the band continued touring and making records in various forms.

Dub Syndicate shares similarities with artists such as African Head Charge, New Age Steppers, and Zion Train. They have been influenced by legendary figures like King Tubby, Prince Jammy, and Prince Far I.

Their unique blend of dub music has garnered them a dedicated following over the years. With their innovative soundscapes and collaborations with renowned musicians, Dub Syndicate remains an influential force in the world of dub music.

High-profile vocal contributions include Junior Reid, Big Youth, U Brown, and Ranking Joe alongside Ansel Cridland (from The Meditations). The basic tracks were recorded in Jamaica, with some of the pals from the Roots Radics days (i.e. Flabba Holt, Steely Johnson) at Studio 2000 (Steely & Clevie's studio) and the legendary Tuff Gong Recording Studio, followed by overdubbing in the USA at Greenpoint Studios (Bill Laswell's studio) and Playroom Studios in New York, with the final mix created at Hound Sound Studio in Baltimore by Scientist.
The longplayer "Mellow & Colly" is timeless for real and should not be missed in any Dub Syndicate collection or serious Reggae selection. It is also the crucial half of Style Scott's two album "Scientist Vs. Sherwood Soundclash" project that started his Lion & Roots label in 1998. The other half entitled "Fear Of A Green Planet" was already re-issued late 2023 on Echo Beach.
