Scientist (JM) /BLÅ

Scientist (JM) Thursday 4 February | 19:00 | Age limit: 20 | 250,- dub / reggae Dub maestro Scientist comes to Blå! Known around the world as The Scientist Dubmaster, Hopeton Brown is recognised as one of the most innovative and influential pioneers of reggae, dub music and studio engineering. Emerging from the iconic King Tubby’s Studio in Kingston, Jamaica, in the late 1970s, The Scientist transformed the art of mixing music. He turned the mixing desk into a living instrument that could reshape, reconstruct and rethink sound. With his unmistakable style, defined by deep basslines, spacious echoes and hypnotic reverb, The Scientist redefined the sound of dub and laid the groundwork for countless producers who followed. His groundbreaking albums – Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires, Scientist Wins the World Cup and Heavyweight Dub Champion – remain timeless cornerstones of the genre. Over decades of innovation, he has collaborated with some of reggae’s most iconic artists, including Barrington Levy, Roots Radics, Johnny Osbourne and Augustus Pablo, while continually inspiring new generations in reggae, hip-hop and electronic music.
