Four tracks, some homemade equipment, and Neil Fraser, better known as Mad Professor, at the controls. That was 1980. Over four decades later, the label has more than 300 albums to its name and a legacy that stretches well beyond the reggae scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compilation pulls twelve tracks from across the catalogue. Dub, lovers rock, heavy roots music, digital dancehall — it's all here. What ties it together is the Ariwa studio sound all going through Mad Professor’s desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMad Professor is the backbone of it. Dub Me Crazy got him known and his production credits run from Jah Shaka and Horace Andy to Massive Attack, Sade and The Orb. The tracks here — the Dub Sampler, H2SO4, Disco Dude, Kathmandu Dub — show why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jah Shaka collaboration Only One God is a landmark. Two of the UK's most important dub figures on one track. Dark and heavy roots music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Robotics appear twice — Hong Kong Flew! and Miss Mood. They are Ariwa's house band and have backed U-Roy, Lee Perry, Big Youth and more over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAisha closes things out with Can You Feel It. A track that crosses reggae, soul and boogie funk. Collectors have been after original pressings for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarky Banton, Ragga Doll, Professor Doppler and Earl Lawrence complete the compilation. Exactly the kind of thing that reminds you how wide the Ariwa net was cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve design is by Trevor Jackson. One of the UK's most respected graphic designers. His work has defined the visual language of British music for thirty years. His involvement here signals exactly the kind of release this is. A serious serious catalogue and compilation of music, treated with the respect it deserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAriwa sits alongside Greensleeves as the most important reggae imprint this country has produced. This compilation shows why.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Test Pressing Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47271233323164,"sku":"TPRLP001","price":37.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/rel_6f9f040e-fe23-4bd2-941d-09349b27ff85.jpg?v=1785156850","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/mad-professor-cuts-dubs-volume-one","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
