Throughout a recording career spanning almost two decades, DJ Stingray aka. Sherard Ingram a.k.a. Urban Tribe has consistently avoided the mainstream to create a musical world of his own. Responsible for the early techno classic 'Covert Action' on Retroactive (reissued on Planet E), Ingram was joined by Carl Craig, Anthony Shakir and Kenny Dixon Jr. (Moodymann) for Urban Tribe's debut album 'The Collapse Of Modern Culture' on Mo Wax and their latest project 'Program 1-12' released on Kenny Dixon Jrs label Mahogani Music and The recent 'Loyal Opposition' releases on Planet E. Touring as Drexciya's official assault DJ, Stingray collaborated with James Stinson for the 'Other People Place ft. Mystic Tribe a.i.' project on Clone in 2002. His two recent albums ('Authorized Clinical Trials' and 'Acceptable Side Effects') and singles for Rephlex have remained true to their drexciyan descent, not through imitation but through remorseless innovation in electro aesthetics.
