Clive Chin on Randy’s Records, Dub Music and Soundsystems | Red Bull Music Academy

Doubling as a New York restaurant manager, producer Clive Chin began his monumental label Impact! in the ‘70s - but this man, who recorded Augustus Pablo, Jackie Mittoo, Peter Tosh, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and The Wailers' first album, had already been raised on a steady diet of the island’s music due to his pops Vincent Gauntlet Chin. As we found out at the 2003 Red Bull Music Academy, young Clive was helping out on the controls from the age of 15, recording the soundtrack to Jamaica’s emerging independence from Britain and the birth of soundsystem culture.
