Mad Professor comes to Preston!

A disciple of Lee 'Scratch' Perry', Mad Professor stands as one of the leading producers in dub reggae's second generation.
One of the most respected figures in the genre's transition into the digital age, Mad Professor soon found himself in demand as a remixer for rock, R&B, and electronica acts. Over the course of the '90s and into the new millennium, he would remix tracks by Sade, The Orb, The KLF, The Beastie Boys, and Depeche Mode, among others. His best-known project, however - and the one that truly established his credentials - was 1995's No Protection, a completely reimagined version of trip-hop collective Massive Attack's second album, Protection.

Having started building electronic equipment in the seventies, Neil Fraser evolved into building mixing desks and sound effect units. He opened his self built recording studios in 1979 attracting a variety of artists and musicians, from Sister Audrey, Mikey Dread, Ruts DC, Pato Banton, Macka B, Desmond Decker, Matumbi & more - they all recorded through the custom built mixing desk that was favoured by soundsystem giants Jah Shaka, Coxsone, Aba Shanti, Wassifa and many more.

Mad Professor pioneered the Live Electronic Dub Show, becoming the first engineer to mix live from the stage, sometimes with tapes, or musicians, very often with artists from the Ariwa label, from Aisha to Lee Scratch Perry.
