Delving deep into dub theory and sound science, the man otherwise known as Hopeton Brown speaks on how a fervent interest in electronics and engineering and a knack for building amplifiers led to major recognition in Jamaica, establishing himself as a protege of King Tubby along the way. Breaking down everything from the ins and outs of his recording techniques to his bitter dispute with the Greensleeves label - with sage advice for up-and-coming musicians to heed - Scientist opens up on his time working at Studio One, changing the sound of Channel One, and his part in the rise of Tuff Gong.
Bringing things up to date, he touches on his father fiigure role within the dubstep fraternity, marked with his new record Scientist Launches Dubstep Into Outer Space. A cross-cultural meeting of minds and a unique insight into the art of noise, Scientist Meets Son of Scientist is essential listening for true dub heads and novices alike. Look out for the interview filmed for the third episode of Loose Joints that drops tomorrow.
