DUB SKANK RIDDIMS (REGGAE DUB) – 2019 – DISTRO PUNKS
Dub Skank Overview
In 2021, a special reggae rhythm project brought together music and message in a fresh way. Mixing roots reggae style with modern sounds, the recording stood out among other releases of its time. While many reggae projects in 2021 followed digital trends, this collection kept a strong connection to classic island rhythms and conscious lyrics. The project featured artists like Johnnypluse, Johhnypluse, Distro Punks, Jpstol, and Mo Matic. Johnnypluse, known for his energetic track "Loud People," led the way with several tunes, including "Never Get Old Skank" and "Back To The Future." Johhnypluse added the lively "The Incredible Riddim." Distro Punks brought their unique style to songs like "Never Get Old Riddim" and "Blast N Bounce Riddim." Jpstol joined in with tracks such as "135 Rinka," "Storm Troopin For Life," and "Ape Panic Riddim." The collaboration "Spread Out" by Johnnypluse & Mo Matic showed how artists could blend their voices over the same riddim. Compared to other recordings from 2021, this project stood out for its cultural depth. Many releases that year focused on dance or pop influences, but this one kept roots reggae at its heart. The roots selector played a key role in keeping the music true to reggae’s foundation, choosing rhythms and tracks that matched the conscious message. The producer behind the project, Johnnypluse, is also known for his work outside reggae, blending breakbeat and dub styles in his career. This recording remains a cultural highlight of 2021, showing how reggae can mix tradition and new ideas.
