Hi all,
I've got a basic question,
Is Michael "Reuben" Campbell (notably producer of Aswad) and Michael "DATC" Campbell the same person?
thx for your help

No, they are not.

thanks for your reply ilie.

Yes, they are.

no they are not.two separate, discrete, different people.

Definitly two different persons.

Michael "Reuben" Campbell was the owner of Grove Muzic label and producer of some Aswad stuffs.

Michael "DATC" Campbell was the Jamaican famous radio show operator and producer.

I believe he is also known also known as Mikey Dread.

Dread at the controls....

Is he the third person???

As Wareika says, there were definitely two Michael Campbells. I think that the UK based one also produced a band call Restriction as well. My question is are their 3 Michael Campbells because the UK press reported the death of a Reggae DJ & producer called Michael Campbell in Swindon, England about 2 or 3 years ago. It definitely wasn't the Jamaican based Mikey Dread but was it the Grove Music owner/producer that Wareika mentioned or is there a third one? At the time I think I posted the article on the Blood & Fire message board.

Also which of the Mikey Dreads mixed some of the Clash material?

Yes, there are those 3 different individuals, Michael 'Reuben' Campbell of Grove Music fame, Michael Campbell aka the original Mikey Dread radio dj, toaster and producer, and also Mikey Dread who passed away some time ago, a sound system guy from the UK

Mikey Dread the radio dj, toaster and producer mixed the Clash, Bank Robber and all that stuff

so who is the man that does all the voice overs on those reggae documentarys?
