.
Douglas Wardrop began creating music using a 4-track recorded in 1989, before forming The Bush Chemists in 1993 with Paul Davey and Culture Freeman.

“The idea for it came from me getting a sampler and trying to sample a documentary where the guy in the document was djing/chanting “light up ya spliff light up ya chalice” but it couldn’t fit so I got Freeman to do it.”
The main track Light Up Your Spliff (also the LP name) has broken into the commercial world and has been used by many leading companies for their commercials, most recently by Supreme; who are worldwide known for skating and clothing. The rest of the LP consists of vocal tracks followed by instrumental tracks, these are the leading tracks which shaped the UK Dub scene into what it is today.
