Remembering Channel One following the recent demolition of the building at 29 Maxfield Avenue, that housed the mythical studio.
A hit factory, it served as the ultimate engine for technical and rhythmic innovation across roots reggae, dub, and the birth of dancehall in the '70s & '80s.

But back in 1973, Channel One was already shaking up the Jamaican sound with heavier bass and drums. Led by Earl 'Chinna' Smith, The Soul Syndicate cut numerous riddims there, fueling later dub mixes by King Tubby.

Yet, the 16 tracks wouldn't have been pushed to their limits without the studio's legendary house band: The Revolutionaries. Driven by the rhythmic power and precision of Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare.

Tracking instruments separately gave engineers way better clarity and EQ control. By isolating and mixing on separate channels, they made a much heavier, cleaner, danceable groove.

"Scientist Meets The Space Invaders" is part of a legendary series of concept albums that Scientist dropped.

Tracks like this great "Red Shift" backed by the Roots Radics, 1981.

As a genre benchmark, "Heavyweight Dub Champion" (1980) further showcases the sound's evolution.

Again recorded at Channel One, mixed by Scientist at King Tubby’s.
Produced by Henry "Junjo" Lawes, and powered by the Roots Radics rhythm section.

Marking one of dub’s most memorable album openings, this "Scientist–Round 1" deconstructs the Roots Radics rhythm section into a masterclass of echoes and reverbs.

From the 1980 classic: "Scientist vs. Prince Jammy – Big Showdown"

Don't confuse it with "Roof Top Dub" on the legendary "Vital Dub - Well Charged" LP (mixed by Hookim and Ossie Hibbert) in 76. Most of it consists of dub and instrumental versions of the 'Right Time' album.

Junior Byles' 1975 track 'Fade Away', another stellar Channel One and King Tubby combo, was huge commercial boost for the label.
The 7" single sold thousands of copies across Kingston, the UK, and beyond.

At the '79 peak of classic studio sound, before its next evolution, two Ch One/King Tubby combo: this P. Jammy-mixed "Kamikazi Dub" & "C. Bunny VS P. Jammy", fueled largely by Ch One riddims.

Directly foreshadowed 1980’s "Big Showdown", repeating the Ch One/King Tubby & VS formula.

Another standout 12" discomix was this The Revolutionaries "Disco Dub" (1978).
A masterpiece and a key link between the Rockers reggae sound, the extended mixes of the late '70s, paving the way for the later development of Dancehall.
