"Hopeton Overton Brown (born 18 April 1960) is a recording engineer and producer who rose to fame mixing dub music in the 1980s. A protégé of King Tubby, his contemporaries include several figures who had helped pioneer the genre in the 1970s: Ruddock, Bunny Lee, Philip Smart, Pat Kelly, and Prince Jammy. He was introduced to electronics by his father, who worked as a television and radio repair technician. He began building his own amplifiers, purchasing transformers for them manufactured at King Tubby's studio. He was eventually taken on as Tubby's assistant, first winding coils for transformers, then as a mixer. His name originates from a comment by Tubby on Hopeton's technical proficiency: 'Damn, this little boy must be a scientist.'"
