BUS DEM DOWN (MORE) – REGGAE VIBES
Bus Dem Down (more) – Reggae Vibes Overview
The “Bus Dem Down (more)” release brought new energy to the roots reggae sound, connecting today’s artists with classic reggae traditions. The music is built on a riddim first made popular in 2001, but here it gets a fresh touch from Reggae Vibes, a sound system and production team known for bringing together strong vocalists and lively rhythms. The recording process for this set focused on capturing the live feeling of sound system culture. Reggae Vibes used real instruments and studio techniques that highlight the deep bass and steady drums that roots reggae is famous for. This approach keeps the music close to the style loved by reggae fans, while still sounding modern. Each artist adds their own flavor to the riddim. Al Campbell, a veteran singer known for hits like “Gee Baby,” brings his smooth voice to “Root Dem Out.” His experience and soulful delivery help carry the roots message forward. Cane Juice performs “What Time,” adding a fresh energy and conscious lyrics over the classic beat. Johnny Osbourne, famous for songs like “Buddy Bye” and his work with Studio One, delivers “Militancy.” His strong vocals and clear message fit perfectly with the roots vibe. Nico rounds out the set with “Allelujah,” bringing a heartfelt, uplifting spirit to the riddim. Together, these artists shape the sound of the release, echoing the roots reggae spirit of 2021. With Reggae Vibes guiding the production, the set stands out as a modern roots reggae collection that respects its foundation while reaching new listeners.
