... and the Dub Goes On...


Scientist

After King Tubby, Augustus Pablo, Lee Perry, Niney The Observer and King Jammy, the label now focuses on Kingston born engineer Overton Brown aka Scientist. A dub set of 16 tracks produced in 1979 and 1980 by Ossie Thomas and recorded between Channel One, King Tubby's and Tuff Gong studios.

An electronics whiz designer of studio equipment from Kingston, Jamaica, The Scientist was a protégé of one of the pioneers of dub music, King Tubby.  Working with King Tubby’s in the mid-1970s, The Scientist mixed his first hit record, Barrington Levy’s “Collie Weed.”  By the end of the 1970s, he was the principal engineer for Channel One Studio, working his magic on a 16-track mixing board

The Scientist achieved renown in the early 1980s, producing numerous albums featuring his exceptional mixes.  In 1982, he brought his talents to Tuff Gong Studio as second engineer to Errol Brown, then emigrated to the Washington, D.C. area in 1985, again enhancing albums with his sound engineering abilities.

The Scientist also recorded a series of albums on the Greensleeves label in the 1980s, featuring fictional themes about his triumphs in fighting Space Invaders, Vampires, Pac-Men, and winning the World Cup.
