audio active - happy shopper

Official video for Audio Active's track 'Happy Shopper'. Audio Active is a Japanese trio, formed by Masa, 2DD and Nanao. They make a pumped-up rastified version of hip-hop, with heads bowed to dub wizard Lee 'Scratch' Perry. Audio Active recorded several records for the British dub label On-U Sound, owned by Adrian Sherwood. 'Happy Shopper' was one of them. The single was released in 1995.
