- TRUE ROOTS |
| True
Roots doesn't only refer to the great muisic
on this album, with equally great DUB
version from Map Professor. The lyrics are
so outstanding that you have to play them
again and again. |

| BENJAMIN
ZEPHANIAH - BELLY OF THE BEAST |
| Ariwa
presents DUB Poetry from the place where it
all began: UK. Benjamin Zephaniah spreads
his conscious Poetry over Mad Professor's
music in what has become a document of
social consciousness. |
|
|
 |
| HORACE
ANDY - LIFE IS FOR LIVING |
| Recorded
in Mad Professor's Ariwa Sounds, Horace Andy
proofs he rides a UK ROOTS riddim with the
same ease as Jamaican Rockers. Deep bass,
thoughtfull lyrics and several dubs and
extended tracks complete this massive set. |
|
|
 |
| HORACE
ANDY - ROOTS AND BRANCHES |
| With
Mad Professor at the controls and Horace
Andy at the microphone stand, you get
something which exceeds the work they both
did with Massive Attack. Tight Roots Music,
crucial lyrics, mighty DUBS. |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR AND JOE ARIWA WITH HORACE ANDY-
REWIRED FOR DUB |
| In
this rather unknown Mad Professor album, the
quality of the DUB is high and the bass is
deep. The instrumentation is full, nuff
points with vocals as well, but the drum and
bass rule the place! |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR WITH MAFIA AND FLUXY - FROM MARS
WITH DUB |
| Mafia
and Fluxy are widely regarded to be the UK
version of Sly and Robbie. Their drum and
bass play is tight like a drum computer.
This enables Mad Professor to mix some of
their recordings into heavyweight
DUBS. |

 |
| JAH
SHAKA MEETS MAD PROFESSOR IN A NEW DECADE OF
DUB |
| Heavy,
heavy steppers. Two heavyweights of UK DUB
meet in what can only be described as one of
the hardest DUB albums from the Mad
Professor and JAH Shaka both! |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR - AFROCENTRIC DUB |
| With
a lot of DUBS from Michael Prophet's album
Rootsman, this Mad Professor DUB album will
definitely move everything in your room due
to the heavy heavy basslines. |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR - ANTI RACIST DUB BROADCAST |
| This
is the kind of Dub that you have to play at
maximum volume, preferably with some nice
sub woofers to pleasantly disturb your
neighbors with some music they have never
heard before. |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR - CRAZY
CARIBS - DANCEHALL DUB |
| You
could say, that this album takes
contemporary dancehall straight back to the
roots without changing the contemporary
rhythm structures. Every track can be played
in discotheques where it will stand
out in a positive way. |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR - DUBTRONIC |
| The
Mad Professor crosses the boundaries of
Reggae Music as he proofs his point: The art
of DUB can even make styes like Funk and
Disco into a pleasant experience. Dubtronic
is also full of subtle jokes. |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR - DUB ME CRAZY |
| When
Scientist released his legendary
Greensleeves serial, the Mad Professor
started one too. We're talking about
the early 1980's here. Under the name
"Dub Me Crazy" the Mad Professor
set the tone in UK DUB for many years to
come. |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR - EARLY DUBS |
| Want
to know where this true DUB MASTER came
from? Listen to this and realize that he
when the Mad Professor started his works, he
was already better than a lot of artists at
the end of their career. |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR - ESCAPE TO THE ASYLUM OF DUB |
| This
is one of Mad Professor's more early
material. It's part of the "Dub Me
Crazy" serial, and "Escape To The
Asylum Of Dub" deserves a tile fe true.
This is the early 1980's, and the Mad
Professor uses literally every trick in the
(then new) digital effects to create the
most weird atmospheres. |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR - EVOLUTION OF DUB |
| Being
one of the leading forces in UK DUB, the Mad
Professor does his own thing year after
year. Improving himself to places others
can't even think of. In this album, he
definitely reports from an evolution of DUB.
The riddims are tight and the effects are
wild! |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR - SCHIZOPHRENIC DUB |
| Oh
man, there is a Mad Professor in the Asylum
of Dub. The UK based Dub Genius shows you
every part of the sound spectrum, and even
beyond, with some serious cases of DUB
mixing. |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR - THE INSPIRATIONAL SOUNDS OF MAD
PROFESSOR |
| For
those who would like an introduction to the
massive work of Mad Professor and don't know
where to begin, this one could be a nice
starter. It covers two decades of his work,
although the emphasis is on his early work. |
|
|
 |
| MAD
PROFESSOR - TRIX IN THE MIX |
| Keep
on walking, don't look back as they say. Yes
man, this is 21th century DUB! The detailed
mixing could never have been created in the
1970's or 1980's. |
|
|
 |
| MICHAEL
PROHPET - ROOTSMAN |
| Arguably,
one of Michael Prophet's strongest album.
Even decades after Yabby You discovered him,
his voice is stronger then ever. And a voice
he has. Michael Prophet, one of the most
talented singers within Reggae Music. |
|
|
 |
| RANKING
ANN - A SLICE OF ENGLISH TOAST |
| With
the humor that typifies so many Mad
Professor releases, this 1982 produced album
is really more than a slice of toast. For
toasting is "Reggae Rapping"... |
|
|
 |
| ROBOTIKS
- MY COMPUTER IS ACTING STRANGE |
| Many
try to make their digital productions
"sound like human". Mad Professor
does it the other way around and applies the
most weird DUB effects over the skillfull
music. |
|
|
 |
| ROBOTIKS
- MAN AND MACHINE |
| The
Robotiks are Mad Professor's riddim section.
So every track is played by real musicians
playing real instruments. Mad Professor
mixes everything by hand as well. This is a
solid DUB Album fe true, with man using the
machine! |
|
|
