Influences: Mainly reggae: Ariwa, Black Ark, Channel One, Firehouse, Jammy's, Linval Thompson, King Tubby's, Mad House, On-U, Steely & Clevie, Taxi, Xterminator etc.
And besides reggae just any type of style with rhythm and bass, like dirty south, dubstep, miami bass etc. And last but not least any great singers and songwriters. Like Bob Marley, Toots, Frankie Paul, Johnny Clarke, Horace Andy, Dillinger, George Clinton, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Fela Kuti, Ray Charles, Curtis Mayfield and D'Angelo to name just a few.
Mad scientists like Lee 'Scratch' Perry , Alfred Korzybski , Robert Anton Wilson , R. Buckminster Fuller , Victor Frankenstein , Dr. Bunsen Honeydew , Nyle Steiner , David Katz etc. are also influential in various ways. Western culture has been dominated by materialism for so long that nowadays most people think "science" means reverse engineering our world into real objective logical truth and absolute certainty by measuring empirical data. However in dub the meaning of "science" is exactly the opposite. In the lab i work strictly on a basis of uncertainty, relativity, randomness, probability and intuition. But of course the most crucial element is accurate and reliable metering.
