From wikipedia:
King Tubby was a Jamaican electronics and sound engineer, known primarily for his influence on the development of dub in the 1960s and 1970s. Tubby's innovative studio work, which saw him elevate the role of record producer to a creative height previously only reserved for composers and musicians, would prove to be highly influential across many genres of popular music. He is often cited as the inventor of the concept of the remix, and so may be seen as a direct antecedent of much dance and electronic music production.
King Tubby was also the name of my WCB Polish rooster who unfortunately got eaten by raccoons last year. His pic is my avatar. I used to hear him every morning outside my bedroom window. I still miss him. RIP.
