The Profile

African Head Charge is a British experimental dub project formed in 1981, led by percussionist Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah and closely associated with producer Adrian Sherwood and the On‑U Sound label. Their sound fuses dub, reggae, African rhythms, and psychedelic textures.

Formed in 1981 in the UK by Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah; produced and released primarily through Adrian Sherwood’s On‑U Sound; active continuously with albums spanning from My Life in a Hole in the Ground to A Trip To Bolgatanga; known for experimental, percussion-heavy dub.

A poetic, intense review of My Life in a Hole in the Ground portrays a violent, ‘psychic jungle’ soundscape. Percussion whirls obsessively while a suffocating, hypnotic bass dominates. Fourth World echoes morph into animalistic timbres. The groove is described as fearsome and irresistible. Rated 5/5.
