Clive Chin (born on 14 May 1954 in Kingston, Jamaica) is a Chinese Jamaican record producer whose work includes recordings by The Wailers, Dennis Brown, Lee Perry and Black Uhuru, among others. Chin was a pioneer in the establishment of dub as a standalone musical form.
Hier een interview van hem

Natturlijk de beroemde producer Leslie Kong
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Kong
Leslie and his two older brothers Cecil and Lloyd ran a restaurant, ice cream parlour and record shop called Beverley's in Orange Street, Kingston. In 1961, he encountered a young Jimmy Cliff outside of his shop singing a song he had written called "Dearest Beverly," in the hopes that the mention of the establishment would convince Kong to record him. This encounter led Kong to launch his own record label, "Beverley's", and to record Cliff's song, launching Cliff's career in the process.
In 1962, he recorded Bob Marley's first single: "One Cup of Coffee" and "Judge Not", and Jimmy Cliff's first hit, "Miss Jamaica". Kong, known in Jamaican music circles as "the Chinaman," quickly established himself as the island's leading producer of local popular music. Throughout the 1960s Kong kept recorded many leading Jamaican artists from ska to reggae through rocksteady including Joe Higgs, Desmond Dekker, Toots & the Maytals, Derrick Morgan, John Holt and Stranger Cole.
During the early reggae period, he worked with Bob Marley The Wailers (The Best of the Wailers) and enjoyed several successful hits with The Pioneers' "Long Shot Kick The Bucket" or The Melodians' "Rivers of Babylon" and "Sweet Sensation". His works with The Maytals also led to many hits including "54-46 That's My Number" and the UK charting single "Monkey Man".
Maar ook Byron Lee
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Lee
In late 1959 or 1960 Byron Lee is known to have introduced the electric bass to Jamaica. However, the reason Lee began to use the electric bass as opposed to its stand-up counterpart had nothing to do with sound. Rather, it was a way for Lee to avoid carrying the large and heavy stand-up bass to the truck to move from gig to gig. The bass guitar soon gained popularity throughout the country and soon became the standard. The electric bass' louder, clearer, and more in your face sound soon changed the entire sound of Jamaican music entirely, especially after Skatalites bassist Lloyd Brevett took a liking to it.
en Herman Chin Loy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Chin_Loy
After working at his cousin Leslie Kong's Beverley's record shop, Chin Loy opened up his own Aquarius Record Store in 1969 in Half Way Tree, Kingston, and began working as a producer.[2] His earliest productions were quirky, innovative instrumentals, using musicians such as Lloyd Charmers and The Hippy Boys on tracks such as "African Zulu", "Shang I",[2] "Reggae In The Fields", "Invasion", and "Inner Space".[3] He was the first producer to use the Now Generation band and the first to record Horace Swaby, whose recordings, like those of other keyboard players who recorded for Chin Loy, were released under the name Augustus Pablo, the success of Swaby's releases causing the name to stick.
In the early 1970s, Chin Loy also produced Dennis Brown, Alton Ellis, and Bruce Ruffin, whose "Rain" reached #19 in the UK singles chart.[2] Chin Loy was responsible for one of the first dub albums, Aquarius Dub, released in 1973, and mixed at Dynamic studio by Chin Loy himself.[2] A follow up, Aquarius Dub part 2 was released the following year.
Chin Loy built the first 24-track recording studio in Jamaica in the mid-1970s, and moved away from reggae to other genres. He returned to reggae productions in 1979, scoring several hits in the early dancehall style with artists such as Little Roy, and Ernest Wilson.[2]
