🔥 Celebrating Sound System Culture, One Riddim at a Time 🔥 At Reggae Roast, we live and breathe Sound System Culture—and there's no better way to celebrate it than by diving deep into the heartbeat of Reggae music: the RIDDIM. That's why we're proud to introduce our ongoing blog series, Riddim Breakdown – a celebration of the classic and foundational instrumentals that shaped Reggae, Dancehall, and all the genres that evolved from them. From Stalag to Real Rock, from Sleng Teng to Heavenless, each riddim has its own unique story—where it came from, who voiced it, and how it evolved...

'Stalag 17' by Ansel Collins & Winston Riley has been used for over 300 versions of Reggae and Dancehall tunes and has been sampled in hundreds more songs in other genres.  Find out the story of one of the most well-known and reused riddims in the history of Reggae music.
