An apprentice of Mad Professor in Ariwa Studios, hence the name Joe Ariwa!!! Joe Ariwa is a young sound engineer / producer brining a youthful, fresh & exciting style to dub music! Growing up in the South East of London Joe was heavily influenced by various styles of music such as reggae, hip hop, soul, garage & electronica, all of which can be highlighted in his work, from the heavy reggae driven bass lines he may use to the fattest, sharpest most defined snare you would usually identify in a hip hop track. Not to mention the sweetest love making melodies & chord structure one would only hear in a soul ballad. Joe Ariwa’s production mainly consists of these three elements, dubbed up using mind-blowing effects from phasers, flangers, reverbs & delays in a funky house style. Examples of his work feature on “Funky House Dub” a collaboration with Karmelody as The Trixsters & “Dub Tech Dub” which is in a dub step style. Joe Ariwa also has a joint dub series with Mad Professor Entitled “Rewired For Dub” all of which are released on Ariwa Sounds. from his myspace page
