Gary Clail & On-U Sound System

Gary Clail & On-U Sound System

Gary Clail & On-U Sound System has been played on NTS in shows including Field Work, featured first on 27 August 2015. Songs played include Rat Race, These Things Are Worth Fighting For (Perfecto Mix) and Human Nature (On The Mix).

Gary Clail is a British singer and record producer. He was part of On-U Sound Records (and also the On-U Sound System) and led Gary Clail's Tackhead Sound System.

Clail worked originally as a roofer,[1] but during the mid to late 1980s based in Bristol, he became a warm up act for On-U gigs.[2] Clail first released a record in 1985.[1] Several 12" singles were issued between 1985 and 1987, before Clail's first LP for Nettwerk, Tackhead Tape Time, a split effort between Clail and Tackhead.[2] "Television: The Drug of the Nation" by The Beatnigs was remixed by Clail, Adrian Sherwood and Mark Stewart, on the Alternative Tentacles record label in 1988.[3]

In 1989, Clail issued his own album, billed as Gary Clail & On-U Sound System, on On-U Sound, which marked Clail's entrance to the electronic underground scene in Bristol, eventually leading him to work with RCA a couple of years later. This output incorporated several singles and EPs, as well as The Emotional Hooligan (1991).[2]

Clail released a further on Yelen Records, entitled Keep the Faith (1996).[2]
