![]() After Scientist had left King Tubby’s studio, he became the principal engineer for the Hoo Kim brothers’ Channel One Studio. ![]() Overton Brown, the mixing engineer who became known as Scientist while mastering his craft at King Tubby’s Dromilly Avenue studio, initially created dubs of reworked Studio One riddims for Don Mais’ Roots Tradition label, but was given his chance at King Tubby’s when Prince Jammy cut short a mixing session for Don Mais because he was too tired to continue.
