Dub at Dicks on Monday

British Dub superstar Mad Professor will be appearing at Richards on Richards in Vancouver on January 30 with special guest Aisha. I picked up a couple Ariwa albums years ago and unfortunately they were lost in a move a couple years before I was able to encode everything I own to MP3.

According to Wikipedia, "Dub is a form of Jamaican music, which evolved out of ska and reggae in 1970s Jamaica. The dub reggae sound includes adding extensive echo and reverb effects to an existing music piece, sometimes accompanied by snatches of the lyrics from the original version."

Mad Professor's label: Ariwa has more information, or you can pick up Aisha's 1984 True Roots album (in addition to many of Mad Professor's albums) at iTunes
