Soon Campbell started producing records, mostly in a rub-a-dub style with zany sound effects and his signature chatting style sampled all over them. \u003cem\u003eDread At The Control Dubwise\u003c\/em\u003e was recorded at the legendary \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Channel+One+reggae\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eChannel One\u003c\/a\u003e studios, ground zero for some of the heaviest rhythms coming out of Jamaica in the late 70s and early 80s, and absolutely bangs with an all-star rhythm section including \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bzyg3q5hI6J\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSly \u0026amp; Robbie\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Augustus+Pablo\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAugustus Pablo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Earl+%E2%80%98Chinna%E2%80%99+Smith\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEarl ‘Chinna’ Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Ansel+Collins\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnsel Collins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and Campbell’s masterful hands on the boards, with characteristically head-scratching song titles to boot, some of which seem to be aimed at his colleagues and bosses at the JBC (“Assistant Director,” “Props-Man Style,” “Floor Manager’s Theme”). Dub heads will recognize these as alternate mixes of the same riddims laid down for Mikey’s \u003cem\u003eAfrican Anthem\u003c\/em\u003e LP, but they take on all new forms here, featuring some of the most imaginative mixing ever cut to tape, often with only the bass and drums surviving from the original versions. Check out Campbell space-echoing the hell out of- well I don’t know what it is, exactly- on “Floor Manager’s Theme.” “Kasha Herb Rock,” “International Field Marshall,” “Fast Forward Dub” and “Props-Man Style” are other standouts.
