History

Wardrop formed The Bush Chemists in 1993 as a side-project to his other band Centry.[1] He had run a record stall in Camden Market since 1988 and began creating his own dub tracks using a 4-track recorder in 1989, setting up his own Conscious Sounds label shortly afterwards.[2] His main collaborator is Paul Davey,[3] and they have worked regularly with singers including Kenny Knots and Culture Freeman.[4] The debut album Dubs from Zion Valley was a collaboration with Jonah Dan, released in 1994, and their first US release was Dub Outernational, recorded in Wardrop's attic studio,[5] and released in 1996 on ROIR.[6][7] The band mix traditional reggae with digital dub.[3][8] Albums followed regularly through the late 1990s and early 2000s, including 2005's Raw Raw Dub, also released on ROIR.[8]
