Doors 8:00pm to 12:00am. Standing\n\nA disciple of Lee “Scratch” Pe rry\, Mad Professor was one of the leading producers in dub reggae’s sec ond generation. His Dub Me Crazy albums helped dub make the transition int o the digital age\, when electronic productions started to take over mains tream reggae in the ’80s. His space-age tracks not only made use of new digital technology\, but often expanded dub’s sonic blueprint\, adding m ore elements and layers of sound than his forebears typically did. In the mid-’90s\, he returned to the basics\, debuting a more retro-sounding st yle on the Black Liberation Dub series. Additionally\, he ran his own stud io and label\, Ariwa\, which was home to a stable of vocalists (with an em phasis on lovers rock and conscious roots reggae) and some of the finest B ritish reggae productions of the era. As his reputation grew\, he became a remixer of choice for adventurous rock and techno acts\, most notably rev amping Massive Attack’s entire second album under the new title No Prote ction.\n\nSister Aisha began singing at the age of eight\, and through her live performances built a significant following in and around the Midland s. Demonstrating her individualism\, she followed in the direction of root s music as opposed to singing soulful cover versions of R&\;B hits\, th e latter being the most frequent route for reggae divas. In the late 80s A isha began recording with the Mad Professor and released ‘Prophecy’ on his Ariwa Sounds label. This success led to other recording sessions with female vocalists\, performing conscientious lyrics and culminating with t he Roots Daughters series\, in which Aisha featured alongside the revitali zed Fabian\, Kofi and Sandra Cross. In 1996 Aisha released ‘Hail H.I.M. ’\, which resulted in her appearance at the Essential Music Festival in that year. This salute to Haile Selassie was followed by ‘Don’t Tell M e No Lies’ and ‘Raise Your Voice’\, both of which achieved acceptabl e placings among the ragga hits that dominated the reggae chart. Aisha has been showered with accolades for her accomplished performances\, captivat ing audiences wherever she appears\, and she continues to pursue a career based on her assertion that ‘music comes from the root of love\n\n \ ; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lewesconclub.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2021/04/MadProf2021.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20230326T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
