From Studio One to King Tubby's, Channel One to Tuff Gong, he worked at Kingston's premier studios, pioneering recording techniques and elevating the dub mix into an art form in his own right. Known as the "Dub Chemist" for both his technical expertise and forward-thinking ideas, Scientist's Night Dreamer session brings together musicians from across the reggae scene, including members of Instigators and Creation Rebel. The group cut six tracks that were subsequently dubbed direct-to-lacquer by Scientist, allowing his creativity to come to the fore.
