In the early 80's I decided to dedicate some tracks to Nelson Mandela, back then a big figure in my life and probably all of my friends. He was in jail (for 27 years) for opposing the apartheid government in South Africa.
The cassette album 'Release Mandela' was made with very basic equipment in my living room studio in Leamington Spa.
This re-issue celebrates 100 years since he was born.

General Theory of Dub started making dub music in 1979. The thing is he didn't really tell anyone for ages…the first selection wasn't released till 1993. 'Bass is the Most Important Instrument' was a full length album on C90 cassette brought to us through Chicken Shack. This music was a compilation of music spanning 10 years of GToD from 1983 to 1993. It received air play from Nick Manasseh on Kiss Fm and Jah Shaka is quoted as saying 'this ain't no white guy from Warwick'...

This could be because Ellis was making music reminiscent of the early Jamaican studios - it was haphazard, playful, phased with lots of spring and tape…then he got a day job.

Returning in 2014 with a brand new cassette release 'Clean Your Head' This is a 'clear out' of the old tunes that he considers are worth a listen...next the intention is to start making new music.

GToD will take the analogue studio into the venue and mix the music live in front of you using multi track tape recorders, analogue mixer, spring reverb and tape delays and more. 
That's original - watch this space.
