VARIOUS
ARTISTS - A RUFF GUIDE TO ARIWA SOUNDS
(Stream in full!)
DUBROOM
ALBUM REVIEW |
| WWW,
September 2014 - Vocal tracks, Discomixes
and of course DUB Shots. "A Ruff Guide
To Ariwa" has it all and look at the
title: it's not a "Ruff Guide To Mad
Professor"! The well-chosen title for
this compilation of sounds from the London
based Studio has a few classics from
"back then", but it also features
some of the -outstanding- work of Joe Ariwa.
Not to mention the all-star list of further
appearances, that is.
It should
not be a surprise: over here at the Dubroom
we're not ashamed to big up Ariwa wherever
possible. That's not just because of the
original and even leading sounds and
riddims, not just because of the consistency
in quality with the enormous quantity. It's
equally because of the importance of Ariwa
for (DUB) Reggae in general.

Aisha AND
MAD PROFESSOR -
High Priestess
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| On
the Ariwa website, she is presented as the
Queen of the Roots Daughters and not without
reason.
Born in
1967 and already singing eight years later,
Aisha would team up with Mad Professor in
the 1980's to start what would grow out to a
Movement of female Roots singers.
High Priestess
is in many ways to be considered as a
document. The album was originally produced
in 1986, musically way ahead of it's time.
In the same time, it was not so common in
that time for a female singer to emphasize
on Roots and Roots topics rather than
Lover's Rock and/or Dancehall.

Aisha AND
MAD PROFESSOR - JAH VENGEANCE/DUB
DUBROOM SINGLE
REVIEW |
| WWW,
August 2014 - It has been quite, quite a
while since we've heard anything comming
from Sister Aisha, especially from Ariwa's
studio. This has now changed, even though
it's a single we talk about. Complete with a
heavy, heavy Dub mix by Mad Professor this
is a heavyweight release that should not
miss out in your catalogue of conscious
Roots Reggae.
Yes, this
is a re-make of the Yabby You classic. And
what a remake it is! Just like Yabby You,
sister Aisha is known to have her
spirituality well connected with her musical
output, both on stage and in the studio.
Just like Yabby You, Mad Professor knows how
to capture this spiritual determination on
the tape machine or whatever it is they use
nowadays in the legendary Ariwa studio.

Aisha AND
MAD PROFESSOR -
True Roots
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Mixed
and created in Mad Professor's ARIWA SOUND
STUDIOS in the UK comes this exceptionally
energetic collection of conscious tracks in
a true UK DUB tradition. Digital and
analogue sounds combined with soulful and
heartical vibes, everything mixed skilfully
by one of the true Dub Masters. Well, as you
can read, I'm kind of enthusiastic about the
sound which is coming out of my speakers and
without a doubt into the ears of many of my
neighbours too. Aisha is a very talented
Reggae vocalist, and I'm not the only one
who say so. For example, well known ambient
dub artist THE ORB has also used her voice.

Mad Professor
- A Carribean Taste Of Technology
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Get
a Caribbean taste of technology: lay back
and enjoy a Dubwise experience extravaganza.
Mad Professor, one of the biggest pioneers
in Dubwise mixes at his best in this 1985
DUB album. The riddims are crucial and the
selection well balanced. The mixes are
psychedelic, to use an understatement.
Decades after it's original release, this
album still serves as an example for many
contemporary producers. Layers of effects on
effects, digital niceness and analogue
equipment. Every drum and bass line will
make you rock and groove, and what comes on
top of that, well, just let it flow inside
your soul for maximum effect. It is an
undisputed fact, that DUB originated in
Jamaica. Jamaica is an island in the
Caribbean, labelled as
"undeveloped" or "third
world". When you enjoy the heavy heavy
DUB tunes on this album, more then two
decades after their creation, you may
realize how incredibly offensive such a
label is for countries deliberately kept
poor. Poor in money, but definitely not poor
in creativity as well as messages of
righteousness.

Mad
Professor - Black Liberation DUB, Chapter 1
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| The
Mad Professor is one of the best known Dub
Mixers from the United Kingdom. On his own
Ariwa Label he has released numerous weird
dub mixes. He has mixed for Massive Attack,
and numerous UK based reggae artists.
Using
digital equipment, his sound differs from
that of the older Jamaican Roots Dub as we
know it from King Tubby and more. Mad
Professor can be considered as the link
between Jamaican dub producers and the newer
generation UK Dubcreators (Alpha and Omega,
Jah Warrior, Mixman etc).
On Black
Liberation Dub, he uses an interesting mix
of old and new skool Dub techniques. You
hear the phaser as well as the newer sound
effects as we can find them in samplers and
so on. From this technical point of view, I
think this album is interesting to study. If
you like a combination of the old and the
new, this album is for you also. It has
computer drums, but also real musicians as
well.

Mad
Professor - Black Liberation DUB, Chapter 2:
Anti-Racist DUB Broadcast
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| This
is truly on of the best DUB albums ever
released by the Mad Professor. And remember,
the Mad Professor is one of the best DUB
Producers. Yes, here we have another set of
beautifull vibes in the ears of the DUB
Lover.
The
Evolution of DUB, of course, speaks about
the evolvement of the Engineer as an artist
and the mixing board with the effects as his
instrument. And on this album the mixing
board truly has become one with the music,
one aspect of the music, even one essential
aspect.
And so this
album, released in 1996, is not only an
exposee of the many different kind of riddims
recorded in the Mad Professor's own ARIWA
Studio's. Even though you will find some of
the heaviest militant Steppers next to
riddims even used by such as Massive Attack.
It's not
only another proof of the sublime mastering
quality either. Even though the deepest bass
comes through crystal clear. Your neighbors
will love them all!

Under The Spell Of Dub
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Fortunately,
it's not really a spell. In reality, it's a
collection of 13 hard riddims from Ariwa
Studio, superbly mixed by Mad Professor
himself.
The fourth
chapter in the Black Liberation DUB series
is definitely one of the strongest chapters.
It says a thing, because in fact the whole
series is in itself already of an unmatched
quality.
Strange
phrases by a strange person, even more
strange phasers over some not-so-strange
Ariwa riddims, there is no effect left
untouched as we're taken from the top to the
very last drop of the album.

Afrocentricic Dub
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Yet
another masterpiece by the hands of the Mad
Professor, straight out of the Asylum of
Dub. This album contains some of the ruffest
riddims from Mad Professor's ARIWA Studio's.
Most of the ten killers are kicking DUBS
from Michael Prophet's album Rootsman, which
is ofcourse also an Ariwa release. Ofcourse?
Yes. Mad
Professor mixes and produces music which is
recorded in his own studio and he also
releases the material. A common, but often
misunderstood aspect of Reggae Culture. So
that's why you'll find Michael Prophet on
tracks attributed to Mad Professor. Or vice
versa, in the case of Michael Prophet's
Rootsman. Mad Professor definitely goes
deeper where he stopped on that album:
complicated echo's, more filters, more this
and more that. When you own Rootsman, you
must also have this one.

Mad
Professor - DUBTRONIC
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Get
ready for some of the most explosive
material you can get when it comes to DUB
music. Presenting once again, on of the
Masters of UK DUB. Ever since he started
releasing music from his Ariwa Sound Studio
decades ago, the Mad Professor has been one
of the strongest influences in progressive
DUB.
Every
single track of DUBTRONIC crosses the
boundaries of what is called Reggae, making
this album a statement and even scientifical
proof of the fact that DUBWISE rules the
Studio's.
Let's
listen to the album track-by-track. If you
like, click on the Album cover to listen to
30 second samples of each tune and read
along.
The album
starts of with a very funny introduction,
carrying a slice of irony and a humble
introduction to the 11 superb DUB tracks.

Mad
Professor - DUB Me Crazy, Chapter 1
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Mad
Professor's more than excellent DUB series
which started in the 1980's definitely
opened up the Art of DUB to a wider audience
while also putting himself among the small
group of top DUB engineers.
This is the
original album that started it all: Dub Me
Crazy Part One. Plus two bonus tracks, that
is.
Mad Professor,
it can not be said enough, is one of the
most creative and innovative DUB engineers,
and he is so for decades in a row. His Ariwa
Studio may have released a lot of crucial
vocal singles and albums, but unlike many
Jamaican Studio's in the 1980's, Ariwa never
lost interest in DUB.
The DUB Me
Crazy series definitely set the standard for
DUB through-out the 1980's. It started in
1982 with this release. There are some
serious DUB mixes on the album, which
originally just contained 10 tracks due to
the limitations on vinyl. This release has
two bonus tracks, for some extra enjoyment.
DUB Enjoyment to the max.

Mad
Professor - DUB Me Crazy, Chapter 2: Beyond
The Realm Of Dub
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| In
the 1980's, Mad Professor released his -now
legendary- "Dub Me Crazy" series.
Mad Professor not only established his name
with them, he also definitely established a
standard in DUB mixing with that line of
albums of which this is the second one.
Effects form the sound, there's almost no
dry ("effectless") instrument to
be heard. Things which are usually in the
back of the mix come forward because of the
massive amount of effects they're being put
through. These are the kinds of dubs of
which their vocal counter-parts can hardly
be recognized. Dubwise time! Yes, this album
is best enjoyed in an ire atmosphere with
good speakers. Close your eyes, and you will
find out just how mad this professor is and
just how crazy you can become from
experiencing this chapter.
The tracks
used for this album are all tight, Roots
Reggae Riddims. They make you move and
groove, from the first to the last one.
Sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes
mellow and sometimes militant. The tunes are
well selected, the way of mixing makes them
into one chapter. Just one chapter in a line
of albums which are very rightfully called
"Dub Me Crazy".

Mad
Professor - DUB Me Crazy, Chapter 3: The
African Connection
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| In
the third release of his now classic Dub Me
Crazy Series, we capture the Mad Professor
in his Ariwa laboratory, eeh, studio.
The year is
1983 and we're talking about twelve top
tunes from a time wherein not many seemed to
realize how DUB had more of a future than a
past.
Who know the
amount of albums and single DUB releases by
the man behind Ariwa Studio's? The number is
countless. Mad Professor's oeuvre is
impressive in quality, but even more
important: in quality. This album shows it
once again...
Just
imagine, a quarter of a century ago. The
Internet was still under development by
Darpa, digital technology was shunned by
many and the CD was a novelty or not even
yet...

Mad
Professor - DUB Me Crazy, chapter 4: Escape
To The Asylum Of Dub
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| After
being treated with three injections in the
Mad Professor's DUB ME CRAZY series, the
title of treatment number four doesn't sound
as mad as it may sound at first look. After
all, you must be pretty mad to escape to an
asylum, rather than escaping from it, right?
Wrong.
The year is
1983 and the Mad Professor is extremely busy
mixing and releasing music in his Dub Me
Crazy series. In his UK based Ariwa
Studio's, he had already recorded a lot of
vocalists on -of course- music from his own
Studio band: more than enough material to
produce a steady flow of DUB Albums for the
market.

Mad
Professor - DUB Me Crazy, chapter 5: Who
Knows The Secret Of The Master Tape
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| It
was the year 1985 and lots of people thought
how DUB have had it's longest time. After
all, the flood of DUB albums from Jamaica
was no longer a flood.
They were
wrong and they could have known if they
would have been looking to the UK and more
specifically, to the Ariwa Studio's!
Neil Fraser
sat in his studio. He was working on
allready the fifth episode of his -now
classic- DUB ME CRAZY series. One DUB Album
after other was released, and people could
hear -or I should say: experience- how just
about every new kind technology was used to
create some of the weirdest DUB you could
not even think of.

Schizophrenic Dub
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Originally
released in 1986 as the 6th part of the
crucial Dub Me Crazy series, Schizophrenic
DUB contains 12 superb DUB mixes from the
hands of Neil Fraser aka the Mad Professor.
A document
from a time wherein the sound of Reggae
Music was dramatically changing with the
introduction of more and more digital
technology.
Real drums and
drum computer are both used in the
production of the riddims on this album,
part 6 of Dub Me Crazy. Analog and digital
effects go very well together as well.
Short
phrases between the tunes, sudden change of
one riddim into the next, short clips from
one tune used in another: when you think
that this was all done in the mid 1980's,
you can imagine some of the immense
creativity of the Mad Professor.

Professor - DUB Me Crazy, chapter 7:
Adventures Of A Dub Sampler
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Throughout
the 1980's, Mad Professor set the High
Standards for DUB with his DUB ME CRAZY
series which started in 1982.
In times
when the Jamaican studio's lost their
interest and turned to Dancehall, Ariwa
Sound kept on releasing one massive document
of DUB after the other. This is the 7th
chapter, catching up with the Mad Professor
in 1987.
Mad
Professor's first release in the DUB ME
CRAZY series already sounded pretty digital.
The year was 1982. Now, we're 5 years along
the road and the Sound Sampler arrived in
the Ariwa Studio's. A thing we'll really
know after listening to the adventures of
the DUB Sampler.
We hear a
fatter sound, and as more and more digital
technologies arrive in Mad Professor's
studio, we hear a combination of programmed
and played material joining perfectly
together in what the connoisseur definitely
recognizes as the Ariwa Sound.
Fragments
of vocals drop in and out as one Roots
Reggae Riddim after the other comes into our
ear and blesses us once again with what can
only be described as another addition to the
collection of every self-respecting
collector of the better DUB.

Mad
Professor - DUB Me Crazy, chapter 8:
Experiments Of The Aural Kind
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| After
the introduction by Macka B, the 8th chapter
in the DUB ME CRAZY series opens up with a
very hard hitting steppers riddim.
The tone is
set for yet another collection of DUB tracks
by one of the masters in the discipline and
his mysterious set of effect devices.
Mad Professor
is obviously one of the masters. It's not
just, that he has a superb sound, it's also
that he knows how to literally transform
that sound by taking instruments and adding
effects. It sounds so easy, but in fact it's
not.
DUB
engineers play with the dimension called
time. Echo's, for example, have their own
rhythm and that little piece of knowledge
theoretically enables the man behind the
mixing board to change the rhythm of a tune.

Mad
Professor - DUB Me Crazy, chapter 9: Science
And The Witch Doctor
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| The
year is 1989. Nuff and nuff things are going
on in the world as communism seemed to
collapse and the last decade of the 20th
century is dawning at the horizon.
Mad
Professor is working on yet another superb
album in his DUB ME CRAZY series. He's been
doing it for the last seven years and
he's not about to stop either.
From 1982 to
1993, the Mad Professor released twelve
albums in the DUB Me Crazy series. They're
all reviewed by the Dubroom and not without
reason. Not only does the series itself give
a perfect overview for the evolution of DUB
throughout the 1980's (and a little bit
further than that), it has put the Mad
Professor at the top of the top of DUB
engineers.
In the 9th
Chapter, the Mad Professor once again keeps
up to his own standards, wherein each and
every aspect of the Art of DUB is given the
right attention. Subtle effects you might
only hear when you're listening on
headphones with your ears closed in an Ire
vibration, but also hard hitting changes in
atmosphere and most of all: a deep, deep
bass.

Psychedelic Dub
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| A
long horn solo spices up the first DUB of
this 1990 Ariwa release. It's a celebration
to Nelson Mandela and sets the tone for the
rest of this 12 track collection of
magnificent DUBS.
Time for
DUB ME CRAZY Part 10, which looks both back
and forward.
DUB has more
than once been called "Psychedelic
Reggae", and for a reason. However, the
word was more popular in the 1960's and
1970's as it referred to spaced out music
and various forms of drugs.

Hijacked To Jamaica
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| According
to many people: Who says Reggae, says
Jamaica. And it's true: Reggae originated
and has been developed on Jamaica. The first
outernational Reggae Acts were predominantly
run by Jamaicans who migrated elsewhere.
After
Jamaica, the UK is a good second. For who
says Reggae, says UK too. UK Roots and DUB
to be precize. And the Mad Professor is a
leading force in the Movement of UK DUB and
Roots.
Ever since
the 1980's, Mad Professor's Ariwa Studio had
been leading the way. Many, many Jamaican
vocalists came to Ariwa to voice over some
of the fattest riddims ever made.

Maniacs on the Rampage
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Thirteen
tracks of the greatest DUB madness of the
early 1990's coming from the Mad Professor's
ARIWA Studio.
Subtle
instruments, such as flutes and guitars pass
by every now and then. But allways over a
solid ROOTS Foundation.
Tight Drum
and Bass lines, digital niceness in both
instruments and effects, the skillfull hand
of the Mad Professor know how to transform
his multitrack tapes into his very personal,
unimitatable DUB style.
There's
much vocal parts in this album, which
contain enough material to make you meditate
while you enjoy the truly terrific DUB
mixes. They can all be enjoyed from the top
to the very last drop. One more DUB
experience from the asylum of DUB...

Mad
Professor - DUB You Crazy Like 2007
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Fourteen
top DUB shots from the hands of the man who
was there when UK DUB started a few decades
ago, and who is still there, dwelling at the
top of DUB producers world-wide.
It says a
thing, especially on this album. Created in
2007, it seems to look back at the 1980's
when Neil Fraser set up the Ariwa Studio's
and the history that came after that.
We hear a
variety of riddims and effects, some which
definitely date back to the 1980's. The
spring reverb, for example. Many of the
riddims are of the very same style that Mad
Professor made to come out of his studio
during the last three decades, some with
effects he used in the 1990's.

Mad
Professor - DUB You Crazy With Love
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| It's
not just, that he is known for his original
and creative DUB mixes. A thing, for which
he stands at a lonely height when it comes
to the Art of DUB.
His
originality includes original concepts, too.
What about this 16 track collection of
superb Dubs from original Lover's Rock tunes
produced by Neil Fraser, aka Mad Professor,
in his Ariwa Sound Studio's?
One would
almost forget it: with the enormous flood of
DUB albums coming from Mad Professor's Ariwa
studio's, he also releases an equal amount
of vocal albums in a wide variety of Reggae
styles, and sometimes even beyond.

Mad
Professor - Lost Scrolls Of Moses
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| This
11 track album from the year 1993 has it
all: Bible Readings, Middle Eastern
melodies, and of course the massive drum and
basslines we're used to hear from Ariwa
Studio's.
Mad
Professor rides a number of riddims, gives
it different treatments, but all of them
contain a healthy combination of programmed
and played material.
Towards the
end of the 1980's, early 1990's the digital
machines had taken strong roots in the
studio's on Jamaica and the UK. Dancehall,
Ragga, even though DUB was more at the
background in the Jamaican Studio's, the
technology created new sounds.

Mad
Professor - Trix in the Mix
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| From
the Higher Degree of DUB University, here
comes the Mad Professor once again with some
serious cases from his ARIWA STUDIO's.
Ever since
he started releasing his music in the
1980's, the Mad Professor has been a name to
reckon with. When he's not recording and
mixing in his Studio's, he's all over the
world doing the same thing in front of a
live audience.
He works
with bands, digital devices, some of the
best Reggae vocalists (Horace Andy, Michael
Prophet), and in every DUB album he
releases, you'll find different things,
developments, different Trix In The Mix.
This album
was originally released in the summer of
2001 and contains a set of 15 superb DUB
tracks. To be played in one sequence, with
some serious bass on your speakers. Oh yes,
a draw or two wouldn't do you any harm
either.

Mad
Professor & Horace Andy - Life Is For
Living
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Horace
Andy. One of the most remarkable vocalists
within Reggae Music fe real.
As a young
boy, he's singing tunes at Jamaica's Studio
One as a natural talent. Decades later, he
is a top-class singer who rides a digital
riddim with big ease. Many will recognize
his voice as the singer in the world famous
Massive Attack track "One Love"!
Massive
Attack has surely brought Horace Andy to
many people's attention. Being the huge
Reggae Fans that they are, they probably
felt more honoured to have Horace Andy sing
for them then vice versa.

Professor & JAH SHAKA - NEW DECADE OF
DUB
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Two
Giants clash: Jah Shaka meets the Mad
Professor in a new decade of Dub. The decade
has past, the music remains. What happens
when two GIANTS in Dub meet? You'll get a
collection of some rough and tough stuff as
I would say! This is a CD that should be in
every serious Dub collector's home, because
it contains some of the hardest steppers
riddims from the 1990's. It doesn't happen
so many times, that after I've finished
playing an album, I rewind and play it
again. This is one of those very few
exceptions. The drum and the bass sound like
thunder and lightning, and thunder and
lightning it is: many songs come with
samples from Louis Farrakhan from the Nation
Of Islam, dubbed in and out in waterfalls of
echo.

Mad
Professor & Michael Prophet - Rootsman
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| This
one you just can't refuse. Michael Prophet's
ROOTSMAN will be more than satisfactory for
various people and for different reasons.
For the DUBheads, because of the magnificent
mixing by Mad Professor. For the lovers of
Full Lyrical works, because this is the best
album from one of Reggae's top vocalists.
For the Conscious people, because all tracks
are based on a conscious subjects.
Presenting one of ARIWA Studio's finest
releases, definitely the personal favourite
for at least the coming 6 months. ROOTSMAN
contains ten vocal tracks, and two dubs.
Michael Prophet rides all ten riddims as
only a conscious man can ride an upfull
Reggae Riddim. Straight from the heart. And
when a conscious heart expresses himself,
this gives the vibe some people always will
wonder how to get... Here it is, Michael
Prophet giving you truths and rights on an
All-Killer-No-Filler release.

Mad
Professor meets Scientist at the Dub Table
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| Even
Lee Perry's voice drops in, when the two
engineers meet at the Dub Table in Ariwa
Studio's. The riddims are varied, some are
mixed crucially where others might very well
be filed into the "Reggae
Instrumental" category. Allbeit, that
not all tracks are Reggae...
Indeed:
It's time for a meet-up of Scientist and the
Mad Professor and that means nothing is the
way it seems.
Both Scientist
and the Mad Professor need no introduction,
especially not for the lovers of DUB Music.

Massive
Attack vs Mad Professor - No Protection
DUBROOM ALBUM
REVIEW |
| The
Art of DUB has been the inspiration for a
very large part of contemporary digital
music, from Techno to Hip Hop.
In "No
Protection", the Mad Professor provides
undeniable evidence of this fact in the form
of what really is a "missing link"
between Reggae and a form of contemporary
digital music called "Trip Hop".
The art of DUB
and the rhythm of Reggae are connected, very
much so. But DUB and Reggae are not two
words for the same music.
If only for
that reason, it would be interesting to
check out "no Protection". It's a
DUB remix by the Mad Professor of the music
by Massive Attack. This duo used Horace Andy
in their works as well, as they provided an
excellent Dance version of Horace Andy's
classic "Spying Glass". A DUB can
be found on this album too.
