From hand-wired mixing consoles in his London home to shaping the sonic blueprint of an entire genre, Mad Professor stands as a singular force in electronic dub. A visionary producer, remixer, and the mind behind the iconic Ariwa label, his fingerprints are all over the evolution of reggae, lovers rock, and dub—not just in the UK, but globally.
Since the late ’70s, Neil Fraser aka Mad Professor has been bending voltage and frequency into deep, space-bound soundscapes. With a resume that stretches from Sandra Cross and U Roy to Massive Attack and Lee “Scratch” Perry, he has forever blurred the lines between analog craft and electronic innovation. His legendary Live Dub Show is no nostalgia act—it’s a livewire transmission from a future built on tape delays, spring reverbs, and low-end theory.
Presented in collaboration with Malmö’s own dub warriors Deng Deng HiFi, who will also set the tone before and after with heavyweight selections.
Expect seismic bass. Expect live-dubbed visions. Expect to get transported.
