Scientist

𝘼 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙙𝙪𝙗 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙝 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 1980, Big Showdown captures Scientist at the height of his creative powers, mixing heavyweight rhythms with razor-sharp effects and fearless studio innovation.

Originally released on Greensleeves, the album sets Scientist against Prince Jammy in a mythical “sound clash” scenario, each track a dub weapon built on the rock-solid foundations of Roots Radics. Thunderous bass, cavernous echoes and wild mixing tricks turn these versions into some of the most explosive dubs of the era.

Big Showdown remains a landmark in dub history, a vivid example of Scientist’s genius and the energy of Jamaica’s early 80s studio culture, still shaking sound systems worldwide.
