Scientist needs no introduction. As a protégé of King Tubby at Dromilly Road he started out learning the tools of the trade, fixing electronics and working on four channels, before he moved on to the sixteen channel desk at Channel One Studio in Jamaica, where he engineered a host of albums, often working with the Roots Radics. His musical vision as well as his deep knowledge of the technical side of things have made him an undoubted godfather of dub with one of the most expansive discographies of the last three decades and counting. This set was recorded live at Fabric, during the launch party for Tectonic's new dub vs dubstep project, Scientist Launches Dubstep Into Outer Space. And while Scientist got busy in the booth, the live band on stage was latest incarnation of The Upsetters, who were not only Lee 'Scratch' Perry's house band but also form the nucleus of The Wailers. Big Showdown!
