Urban Tribe

小简介 Detroits Sherard Ingram was one of the few Americans (along with DJ Shadow and Money Mark) to record for Britains noted trip-hop label Mo Wax. Initially a vehicle for earthy downtempo productions, Urban Tribe debuted on Carl Craigs Retroactive and Planet E labels by contributing to the Equinox: Chapter One (1990) and Elements of and Experiments with Sound (1992) compilations. After signing on to Mo Wax, he released the EP Eastward in late 1996. Ingrams debut album, 1998s The Collapse of Modern Culture, expanded the lineup to include engineers Craig and Anthony Shake Shakir, plus Kenny Dixon, Jr. (aka Moodymann). Four years later, Ingram resumed production work, first by recording as Mystic Tribe for the Netherlands Clone label and then by aligning with Rephlex. This association birthed two full-lengths: 2006s Authorized Clinical Trials and 2007s Acceptable Side Effects, both of which were closer to Drexciyas hard-edged, electro-inspired early releases than early Urban Tribe. Its no mere coincidence that Ingram has also operated as Drexciyan DJ Stingray.
