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.

Also honor its famous custom API sound desk, based on a modular 2488 classic design. At its core sat 212 preamps, the API 2520 op-amp, 550A EQs, and auxiliary send matrices that were incredibly flexible for their time.

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.

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"

They need 30 trillion cars and 12 million motorcycles to transport that demented idiot around?
This is fucking lunacy.
You know how we go to the office, in NL?
By bike. The PM. Which is kinda normal.

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.

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.
