Mad Professor (UK)





With a singular command of the mixing desk and an unshakeable curiosity for the outer edges of sound, Mad Professor has shaped dub music as we know it today. We are honoured to present the legendary, visionary Guyanese-British producer as he invites the audience into his cosmos of deep, hypnotic, and timeless dub at ALICE this February.
For more than four decades, the Guyana-born British producer Neil Joseph Stephen Fraser – better known as Mad Professor – has been a relentless driving force in the world of dub. His iconic Ariwa Studio in London has hosted some of the genre’s most defining productions and remixes, and he stands as a central figure in dub’s second generation. Here, he has worked with icons such as Lee “Scratch” Perry, Jah Shaka, Pato Banto, and Horace Andy, while also leaving his mark on artists far beyond the reggae sphere. Names like Massive Attack, Sade, Grace Jones, and Perry Farrell have all entrusted their music to his transformative touch.
