Content Introduction Access Denied! The latest release from Asian Dub Foundation! Domestic pre-release, world's fastest release! Known for their biting social satire, unwavering political messages, stateless sound that crosses over a wide range of music, and legendary live performances at Fuji Rock and other prestigious festivals around the world, Asian Dub Foundation's latest album, 'Access Denied', will be released domestically on May 29th (Friday), the fastest release in the world!! Their story began in the early 90s with a workshop in East London. The members' personal experiences from immigrant communities have greatly influenced their unique sound. Jungle rhythms, dub basslines, guitar sounds referencing their South Asian roots, and aggressive, high-speed rap?the combination of these elements creates a one-of-a-kind sound that continues to make them one of the world's top live bands. In the mid-90s, their live performances gained popularity in France, establishing them as an alternative to the waning Britpop. Throughout their long career, they've shared the stage with Rage Against the Machine, Beastie Boys, and Primal Scream, and collaborated with legends like Radiohead, Iggy Pop, and Chuck D. Their latest album, "Access Denied," is their most uncompromising work to date, incorporating a variety of elements from the tough jungle-punk sounds of "Stealing the Future" and "Mindlock" to the meditative orchestral sounds of "Realignment," and even reggae. The album features appearances from the Palestinian-Jordan electronic music group 47 Soul and popular Chilean rapper Ana Tiju, and even samples a speech by Greta Thunberg, making this their most politically charged and intense statement yet.
