Mad Professor
 



Decided to share some Mad Professor here. Although Mad Professor never had his own Sound System, he & his Ariwa label worked closely with Jah Shaka & many of the Sound System culure figures.

I think it is important to acknowledge Mad Professor's huge influence on bringing Dub music to the mainstream in the UK & beyond. His Ariwa record label has released over three hundred records. He is a one of the cornerstones of UK Dub. I have shared much of his music here in the past

Here's a few of his collaborations with Jah Shaka...

But even before Jah Shaka was to influence Mad Professor with the Sound System Sounds, the Prof was already producing music akin to or leading the current trends in UK Dub. The Ariwa backing band was the Elektro Robotik Dub Orkestra or just the Robotiks. Under the Robotiks moniker, Mad Professor issued one of his early classics of quirky analog dub. It is a fantastic juxtaposition of retro sci-fi & Afro-futurist Sounds. 
 
Produced in Ariwa Studios, 42 Gauntrey Road, SE15, Dub Peckham.

One last burst of Mad Professor before moving onward. From 2015, just to show he's still at the height of his game, teamming up with Prince Fatty, another producer closely associated with Sound System culture...
