Joe Ariwa, the eldest son of legendary reggae and dub pioneer Mad Professor, has been making waves in the music industry with his unique approach to dub production. Growing up surrounded by reggae legends and analog tape machines, Joe naturally absorbed the responsibilities of the music business from an early age. His contributions to the dub scene have been significant, from digitizing vintage multitrack tapes to producing and collaborating with other artists.
Joe’s production style blends traditional dub techniques with modern innovation, resulting in complex and detailed productions. His collaborations with artists like General Levy and Randy Valentine have been successful, showcasing his ability to bring out the best in others. With a strong network of artists and producers, Joe continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in dub music.
Some of Joe’s notable releases include the “Dubstep Dub series,” “Rewired for Dub series” with Mad Professor, and “Dub Ripe Fruits” with Elijah & Raging Fyah. His youthful ear and fresh take on dub have caught the attention of elite UK sound systems, and his mixing services have been sought out by veterans like Dennis Bovell and Blacker Dread.
