Main Stage - Live at Bass Berlin Festival

Mad Professor

Ariwa, London

Having met the man in his purpose built south London studio, Red Bull Music Academy Radio can assure you that Neill Fraser aka the Mad Professor is one of the sanest record producers we have ever met! In fact, the name Mad Professor was first given to him by friends at school, who were amazed by the electronic experiments he carried out as a youth. Having built a radio and telephone system by the age of 10, it was no surprise then that his interest in electronics along with a love of Motown, Philadelphia International, Treasure Isle and music of all types led Neil into the world of Music. Famed for his collaborative album with Massive Attack, the Mad Professor has had a long and varied career in production. Whether he is working with Reggae legends such as Lee Perry and U Roy, producing for punk bands like The Ruts or pushing his own 'Dub-Me Crazy collections, the Mad Professor brings a fresh angle to whatever music he is making.
