The Riddim Breakdown Series
🔥 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 through the decades. Whether you're a lifelong selector, a budding producer, or a passionate listener, this series shines a light on the building blocks of the culture we love.

🔊 New Music: Rockin Dubs – Out Now!
As we pay tribute to the riddims that shaped the past, we're also pushing the culture forward.
Our latest single “Rockin Dubs” is a heavyweight dubwise excursion straight from the Reggae Roast camp. With deep basslines, echoing delays, and full-frequency vibes, it's a tune built for sound systems and guaranteed to shake any session to its core.
