Hopeton Brown, known as The Scientist Dubmaster, is a pioneering Jamaican recording engineer and dub music producer from Kingston, Jamaica. Born in 1960, he rose to prominence in the late 1970s as a protégé of the legendary King Tubby, where he transformed the art of mixing and developed his signature sound of deep basslines, spatial echoes, and hypnotic reverb. He became a leading dub artist of the 1980s, engineering at Channel One and Tuff Gong studios, and working with reggae legends including Barrington Levy, Bob Marley, Roots Radics, Sly and Robbie, and Augustus Pablo. Notable albums include Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires, Scientist Wins the World Cup, and Heavyweight Dub Champion.
