  • Bio

    ................ On the content of his character, and by the results of his recordings, he is one of the sanest record producers. The name Mad Professor was first given by friends at school, who were amazed by the experiments he carried out as a youth. Having built a radio and telephone system at the age of 10 years, it was no surprise that his interest and subsequent career in electronics along with a love of Motown, Philadelphia, Treasure Isle and music of all types propelled him onward. The early Eighties, having built his own mixing desk, had launched Mad Professor along with the Ariwa Studio/label. DUB ME CRAZY, the first in a 12 series of albums, was to become his beacon for the label. The distinct variation and surprising sound effects were unique for this time. Dub, and the cool sound and clarity of his mixing encouraging many artists to the growing label. With the end of the Eighties approaching, the studio/label moved form its launch base of Peckham to South Norwood where it is still situated. At this time he incorporated remix projects for the Orb, Beats International (Lindy Layton), Sade and Brilliant. A heavy schedule of touring Germany, Holland, France, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Spain Austria, Italy, Yugoslavia, USA, Canada and Japan, while still managing to produce the various artists projects was an enormous workload. The label by then had a healthy 104 albums with more in the infancy stage of planning. By the mid Nineties, Professors personal Dub tours were to be a major part of his schedule along with remixes which include: Clementine, Tracy Spencer,UB 40, The Boom, Danny Red, Depeche Mode, Jamiroqui, Rancid, KLF, Beastie Boys, Cidade Negra, Perry Farrell (Janes Addiction) along with the Massive Attack dub extravaganza all benefiting from the Mad Professor touch. Work for various major labels include: Sony Music, EMI, Arista, Warner Brothers, Capital Record, and Virgin Records. The Ariwa 98 record catalogue contains over 155 titles and is well known throughout the world. By the end of the Nineties, Mad Professors Ariwa label gained international notoriety in many territories throughout the world. Mainly known for its Dub roots and Techno/drum and bass catalogue. The label contains some of the best from Mad Professor, Lee Perry, Pato Banton, Aisha, Macka B, U-Roy. Papa Levi. Ariwa is also very known for its unique form of Lovers Rock.
