Mad Professor  As dubstep continues to pervade modern electronic
music, famed producer, engineer, and remix master Mad Professor
is using his dub expertise to highlight where everything
started. The latest addition to his massive, 20-plus-year
discography, The Roots of Dubstep, is an audio treatise and
music history lesson by the man who helped bridge first-
generation dub into the electronic era. "It was a dark,
emotionless, cold music at first. What made dubstep more
interesting is when it started to draw more from the dub
scene... the effects, the melody, now you're talking!" said Mad
Professor in a 2011 interview. In an era when it's hard to tell
whether DJs really do much behind the boards, seeing the live
mix pioneer at work will be an edifying experience. With
Minneapolis Dub Ensemble and Jermaican Jake. 18+. Mon., Nov. 4,
