Has anyone heard of this guy at all. Will let you know why if I get any genuine positive responses.

Do you reckon he makes a reasonable amount of cash from it Danboy?

Dunno...

Not exactly prolific in my mind. Just the name rings a bell.

I've always wondered how much money there was in dub anyway, even for people like Scientist.

Just wondering because he's just moved into the flat below me, which I wouldn't have thought was within a musician's budget.

Its not vastly expensive, but not exactly cheap and most musicians I know aren't exactly coining it it.

Also, his music isn't very enjoyable coming through your bedroom floor at half one in the morning. And he has some fairly unconventional friends. Ho hum.

I also love Dub reggae, I have many in my collection, Scientist, Mad Professor, King Tubby, and Lee 'Scratch' Perry, (although a lot of Perry's work is too early for me to digest as easily)
It's amazing how many times the original Dub music is background for so many different songs.

Can't imagine it'd sell huge volumes in any one country but I suppose if you add up all the cash from the different countries it sells in, it could lead to a reasonable profit.

I know Drum & Bass producers who have made a pretty decent amount of money that way.

Another dub head here... and can appreciate what you're saying about Perry.

However try his album 'Time Boom X - De Devil Dead' with Dub Syndicate. Utterly glorious, especially if you can get your head mid way between the speakers, the sound scape is astonishing - an example of exactly how music production should be done.

Fabulous stuff... goarn goarn goarn goarn goarn

The first week was bad but I restrained myself to only complaining once. They've been away on tour off and on since then so not too unbearable.

However, on Tuesday there were naked people in the garden, which is a bit disconcerting given it is overlooked by houses where children live etc. It is however a very nice flat so he's clearly not some sort of scumbag, just a bit different.

He appears to be a producer as well so could be earning reasonable cash from that.

Another Dub fan here, I've just been listening to Black Uhuru-The Dub Factor and some of 'The Story of Jamaican Reggae'Box set.
I have been trying to get a copy of'Dubbing with The Royals' but no luck yet.
