Anthropologists, musicologists, and reggae-heads alike would have one hell of a field day with Clive Chin. Seriously. Born in Kingston, Jamaica with a sizeable helping of Chinese xuetong (bloodline), Chin made a name for himself as the producer behind seminal reggae and dub works from Lee “Scratch” Perry, Black Uhuru, The Wailers and many more.
In 1968, Chin’s folks founded Randy’s Records on the corner of Kingston’s East & Towers – a record store that later evolved into the jewel of Kingston’s reggae recording scene: Randy’s Studio 17. After recording artists like the Toots & Maytals, Peter Tosh, Bob Marley & The Wailers (the list goes on…), Randy’s relocated to New York City, where the foundations were laid for Clive and his family’s next musical installment: VP Record Distributors. Operating out of Brooklyn, VP has generated wide acclaim for its work recording artists such as Beenie Man, Shaggy, and Sean Paul.
Split Works is excited at the opportunity to be within the blast radius when Clive gets on the decks and the mic and unleashes his historical arsenal of reggae, dancehall, and dub jams at Bed Bar. Come one, come all for what is sure to be a boombastic event.

Clive Chin不仅仅是作为一个雷鬼乐的创始人呈现于世，他给世界带来了丰富的雷鬼乐精神。Clive Chin出生在牙买加的首都金斯顿，有中国的血统，从小就像跟Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, and Bob Marley一样的人长大。在1968年，Chin的家庭在金斯顿创立了第一家唱片行，叫做Randy，后来又发展成牙买加唱片业最耀眼的唱片公司“Randy’s Studio 17”。在为一些知名艺术家如Toots & Maytals, Peter Tosh, Marley & The Wailers录音后，Clive和他的家庭来到了纽约，开始了他们新的雷鬼乐之路：VP Record Distributors。这个在布鲁克林的音乐厂牌孕育了很多新的雷鬼之星，如Beenie Man, Shaggy, and Sean Paul。Split Works很高兴能够在这个初冬的夜晚让倾心雷鬼乐的人们可以听到这位大师的声音，它原汁原味，它会让你想起在世界远方，却又在你心中的律动。
