This week we're putting The Tonearm's needle on noted reggae author David Katz.

His new book, Dub Revolution: Jamaica's Sonic Innovators and the Birth of Remix Culture, traces Jamaican music from its earliest sound systems to the 21st century.

We talk about the 1982 San Francisco night that blew David’s mind and opened his ears, the job that paid his way to London, and even the technology and tools the dub greats used.

(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are Lee “Scratch” Perry - \"Dub Revolutions,\" King Tubby - \"King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown,\" and Scientist - \"Scientific\" )
