Our new single, ‘Carry On’ featuring Earl 16, is out now.

‘Carry On’ is a celebration of soundsystem culture, community and the joy of coming together. It’s an uplifting slice of roots reggae with a simple message: the dance must go on.

About the tune

The tune is built on a heavyweight roots rhythm. Over the top, Earl 16’s sweet, soulful voice celebrates the soundsystem’s place at the heart of a community. It’s about reconnecting with friends, standing shoulder to shoulder in front of the speakers and sharing the feeling that only music can bring.

‘Carry On’ combines laid-back warmth with a firm soundsystem punch. There’s a sense of gratitude running through it, for the music, the people and the spaces that bring them together.
