Scientist performing 'Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of The Vampires’

Scientist plays his 1981 dub classic live

Based in Kingston, Jamaica

DubReggae

Deep bass, echo trails and stripped-down drum patterns sit at the center, with the mix doing the movement. This is a live dub set built around the 1981 album’s cavernous spatial effects and spooky, board-as-instrument details.

Scientist is Hopeton Brown, the Kingston dub engineer who learned under King Tubby before mixing his own sessions in the late 1970s. Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires was first issued on Greensleeves in 1981, and it remains one of the core studio-dub documents from that era.
