By the time he was 21, #Adrian_Sherwood had already made several attempts at launching a record label. Sherwood—then a young London producer and DJ working with #reggae and #post-punk bands—co-founded Carib Gems, a label created to distribute Jamaican recordings locally, followed by Hitrun, through which he began to release some of his own productions. Then came 4D Records, briefly.
