"MAD PROFESSOR'S OTHER SIDE OF DUB" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)
WWW, February 3 2009 - If you would only look to his Mixing skills and releases, there is already more than enough reason to focus on the Mad Professor as we currently do in the Dubroom.
Next to riding the mixing board like, indeed, a Mad Professor, Neil Fraser produced a wide variety of vocalists as well. He records them in his Ariwa Studio's.
He launched carriers, for example that of Pamela Ross aka Aisha. The Dubroom also reviewed a video where Aisha and Mad Professor perform in the UK a few years ago, but it was already back in the 1980's that the brother and sister joined hands to produce some pretty progressive material.
On almost every album that the Mad Professor produces, he will use DUB techniques. But there is another side to his DUB releases: the vocal parts.
Check out Aisha's High Priestess. Just follow the links in the review and press play somewhere.

ITEMS FOR THIS EDITION:
Just like Yellowman and others that went before him, Elephant Man is known for his slack lyrics while his conscious lyrics are forgotten.
He chants over a form of music that some would not recognize as Reggae but is popular throughout the Dance halls all over the world nevertheless...
On the Ariwa website, she is presented as the Queen of the Roots Daughters and not without reason.
Born in 1967 and already singing eight years later, Aisha would team up with Mad Professor in the 1980's to start what would grow out to a Movement of female Roots singers.
