SCIENTIST 'Rids the world of the evil curse of Vampires'

A live performance by the Jamaican producer Scientist, recreating the 1981 dub reggae album Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires at Village Underground in London.

Scientist, a Jamaican producer, helped pioneer dub in the late 1970s as a protégé of King Tubby, gaining a reputation at Studio One for a distinctive mixing style. Moving to Channel One as principal engineer, Scientist issued a run of early 1980s albums, including Scientist Meets the Space Invaders, Scientific Dub and Scientist Encounters Pac-Man.

The show recreates the 1981 dub reggae album Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires in full, performed live. Five songs from that record were used as playlist tracks on the K-Jah radio station in the 2001 video game Grand Theft Auto 3.

Village Underground, at 54 Holywell Lane in London, mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on electronic music. The evening is presented by AGMP Concerts.
