The Bush Chemists

The Bush Chemists are a UK-based dub and reggae production duo formed in the early 1990s. Centered around founding member Dougie Wardrop—also known as Dougie Conscious—the outfit has been closely associated with the Conscious Sounds label, which has played a key role in the revival of roots and dub reggae in the UK. The Bush Chemists are known for their deep, bass-heavy rhythms, digital production style, and a strong connection to the UK sound system culture.

Over the years, they've collaborated with a wide range of vocalists and reggae artists, blending traditional roots dub with more modern, electronic elements. Their prolific output includes numerous albums, singles, and vinyl-only releases, making them a staple in the global dub scene. Whether performing live or dropping heavyweight studio recordings, The Bush Chemists continue to be respected torchbearers of authentic and progressive dub music.
