Protégé to King Tubby beginning in the late 60’s, Overton “Scientist” Brown is a prolific engineer and one of the founding fathers of dub music. Brown cut his teeth working at Tubby’s studio until 1983. He left and continued working at Channel One where he began two years prior, often with Junjo Lawes and The Roots Radics.

He is particularly known for his run of dub albums on Greensleeves Records in the 80’s including Heavyweight Dub Champion, Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires and Scientist Wins the World Cup.

Scientist’s skills were responsible for many LPs, including The Wailing Souls' Fire House Rock, Michael Prophet’s eponymously titled album, several dubs of Black Uhuru’s Brutal and many others.
