On Friday, August 21 from 1-5pm in Studio A, MI presents a special session with the pioneer of Dub Mix music, Hopeton “Scientist” Brown.

Dub music, the instrumental and remixed version of Reggae music, was created in Jamaica in the early 1970s. Since then, the remix techniques developed in Dub music have grown to influence many forms of modern music including Hip-Hop, House, and almost every form of dance music around the world today.

King Tubby is credited as the founder of Dub music. The Scientist, in turn, created his own unique style and skills. Since Tubby’s death, The Scientist is the only person alive who understands the vast trove of studio techniques that are at the roots of Dub and many different types of music today. The Scientist wants to teach and preserve the philosophy and techniques in order instruct future generations in how to properly record and produce music.

To RSVP, email ritadmin@mi.edu with “Scientist Clinic” in the subject line. Attendance is limited; Audio Engineering students will be given priority.
