A rare weekend off so tonight to Plan B to see the mighty Mad Professor
BIG in the game for time. I first got onto His Madness through the Massive Attack dubs he did. After that I did a bit of digging and got loads of his Ariwa records. The sleeves were always brilliant, a bit like Scientist.

Before Pato Banton went all bye buddy bye bye bye bye on us he made 2 albums with the Mad Prof . A UK toasting style a bit like Smiley Culture or Tippa Irie. Well good.

Amazingly in about 1994 he came and played at a venue in Whitstable near where I was living. You have to understand there was NOTHING going on in Whitstable for kids of 14 in those days. Anyways we managed to get in. He’d brought his own sound in and the room was a old gym with a sprung floor. It felt at moments like the whole place was going to collapse. Schoolboy stoner legend had it that John Peel was in attendance but I never saw him. A formative night though still.

Back in the studio cooking up the next EP next week.
Music for days and days.
