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, Two Thieves And A Liar and These Things Are Worth Fighting For (Perfecto 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]
