MIDNIGHT ROCK RIDDIM produced by CAPRI MUSIC 1981

Midnight Rock Overview

The Midnight Rock Riddim stands out as a strong roots reggae instrumental that still appears in today’s reggae playlists. Its foundation was built by the skilled band Roots Radics, who are famous for their tight rhythms and deep basslines. Their track, Roots Radics — Rock With The Radics, is a classic that helped shape the sound of reggae in the early 1980s. The recording process for this riddim focused on live instruments and a warm, analog sound, which gives the music its rich, timeless feel. This approach keeps the riddim fresh for new listeners and respected by longtime fans. The producer behind this project is CAPRI MUSIC, known for supporting reggae and dancehall artists. CAPRI MUSIC has a history of working on projects that blend classic reggae with new influences, helping the genre reach wider audiences. The artists on this riddim each brought their own style. Jah Thomas, who is well known for his hit Jah Thomas — Feeding Of The 5000, adds his signature deejay flow. Roots Radics, with their legendary musicianship, provide the steady backbone. Tristron Palma, with his song Tristron Palma — Reggae Taking Over, brings a melodic and uplifting touch to the instrumental. Together, these artists and CAPRI MUSIC’s vision have made the roots instrumental a cornerstone for roots reggae today. The riddim’s strong foundation and lively energy keep it relevant and loved in reggae circles.
