Mad Professor is an icon and living legend in dub music. Known for his prolific work across four decades and more than 200 albums, he is one of the leading producers and engineers that helped transition dub into the digital age. The Guyanese-born British visionary has reshaped the landscapes of dub and electronic music, working with everyone from Sade and Grace Jones to reggae artists like Lee “Scratch” Perry and Sly and Robbie. Renowned as a sound alchemist and inventive remix artist, he is perhaps best known for his 1995 album-length remix Massive Attack vs Mad Professor No Protection which is widely-considered to be the best-selling dub album of all time. The album sold more than a million copies and became an instant classic in the genre. By embracing the “paradox between the ethereal and the earthly” (Rolling Stone) and introducing a new generation to the reverb-drenched, space echo-filled sonic wonderland of dub, Mad Professor’s “astonishing” (Rolling Stone) transformations of original sound into “fresh, cosmic versions of classics” (Resident Advisor) continues to move toward new horizons in dub. For this special Chan EXP and VIFF Live event, and for the first time in Vancouver, Mad Professor will perform a rare live dub set in celebration of No Protection’s 30th Anniversary, that will feature music drawing from his Massive Attack remixes – including both No Protection and the Mezzanine remix tapes – accompanied by live dub visuals with live visuals from Vancouver artist Saghi Ehteshamzadeh. Join us for a hypnotic, audio-visual trip into the psychedelic worlds of dub, bass, and trip hop from one of the best to ever do it. Vancouver reggae legend, DJ, and radio host George “Reggae Man” Barrett will DJ in the Chan Centre lobby to open the performance.
