. Subatomic, a collective of musicians combining roots and dub reggae with electronic music and hip-hop, began touring with Scratch in 2010; in 2017 they reimagined Scratch's 1976 classic dub album, adding in a rendition of Max Romeo's"Chase The Devil," which Scratch produced and co-wrote with Romeo as an imaginative take on good triumphing over evil.
One of Perry's earliest hits as a vocalist was"People Funny Boy," from 1968, which took aim at another producer he worked with, Joe Gibbs."People Funny Boy" is one of the first songs to utilize a reggae tempo, as Jamaican music transitioned out of its brief rocksteady period, and is also noteworthy for Scratch's prescient use of a sample of a crying baby.
Scratch released several influential roots reggae albums throughout the 1970s including Max Romeo's acclaimed, the latter considered Scratch's masterpiece of the Black Ark era. There were many milestone singles, including"Police and Thieves" by Junior Murvin , The Heptones'"Party Time" and Perry's"Dreadlocks In Moonlight," which he originally wrote for Marley, but Island Records founder Chris Blackwell told him to keep for himself.
Other than the late Jamaican engineer/dub principal King Tubby, no one did more to advance that art form than Scratch. His production on The Upsetters' 1973'swere essential in establishing dub as an international phenomenon, particularly in Europe where numerous festivals are devoted to the Jamaican genre.
