Detroit's Sherard Ingram was one of the few Americans (along with DJ Shadow and Money Mark) to record for Britain's illustrious trip-hop judge Mo' Wax. Initially a vehicle for earthy downtempo productions, Urban Tribe debuted on Carl Craig's Retroactive and Planet E labels by contributing to the Equinox: Chapter One (1990) and Elements of and Experiments with Sound (1992) compilations. After sign language on to Mo' Wax, he released the EP East in later 1996. Ingram's debut album, 1998's The Collapse of Modern Culture, expanded the lineup to include engineers Craig and Anthony "Shake" Shakir, asset Kenny Dixon, Jr. (aka Moodymann). Four long time later on, Ingram resumed product work, offset by recording as Mystic Tribe for the Netherlands' Clone label and so by positioning with Rephlex. This association birthed two full-lengths: 2006's Authorised Clinical Trials and 2007's Satisfactory Side Effects, both of which were finisher to Drexciya's hard-edged, electro-inspired early releases than early Urban Tribe. It's no mere happenstance that Ingram has too operated as "Drexciyan DJ Stingray."
