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, it came as no surprise that his interest and subsequent career in electronics along with a love of Motown, Philadelphia International, Treasure Isle and music of all types would propel him onward.

With his own mixing desk, he launched Mad Professor along with the Ariwa Studio/ label from his front room in Thornton Heath in the early ‘80s.

His early works include sessions with Ruts DC, Reggae Regulars, Merger, Jimmy Lindsay, Mikey Dread, Johnny Clarke and many more international artists.

Dub Me Crazy, the first in a 12-part series of albums, was to become his beacon for the label. With an episode being issued every year, the titles all told a different story.

Beyond the Realms of Dub – Dub Me Crazy, Pt. 2; The African Connection – Dub Me Crazy, Pt. 3; and Dub Me Crazy Pt. 7 – Adventures of a Dub Sampler.
