Kamikazi Dub (1979)

Lloyd James, widely known as Prince Jammy, steps forward from King Tubby's tutelage with this ferocious demonstration of analogue board wizardry. Mixing rhythms cut by Sly and Robbie at Channel One, Jammy hurls explosive snare echoes across the stereo spectrum while locking down an unrelenting low-end foundation. His acrobatic hand adjustments on the faders create heart-stopping dynamic drops that set new benchmarks for sound-system dub.
