Roots & Culture Riddim produced by Silly Walks Discotheque 2024

Roots & Culture Overview

The one drop base is a classic reggae rhythm that has shaped the sound of roots music for decades. It features a heavy emphasis on the third beat of each bar, giving reggae its distinctive, laid-back groove. Even in 2024, the one drop remains a strong foundation for new reggae releases, connecting modern artists with the genre’s deep roots. A recent example of this tradition is the "Roots And Culture Riddim," produced by Gregory Morris & Silly Walks Discotheque. Silly Walks Discotheque, a production team from Germany, has been active since the 1990s and is known for their dedication to authentic reggae sounds. Their work has gathered millions of streams worldwide and helped introduce European audiences to roots reggae. On this riddim, several artists add their own style to the one drop base. Jah — Lil delivers the uplifting track "Lift Me," while Reemah, a respected voice from the Virgin Islands, brings her message-driven song "As Far As I Can See." Inezi contributes "Jah Jah See," keeping the spiritual themes of roots reggae alive. Jesse Royal, known for his album "Lily of da Valley" which reached the top of the Billboard Reggae Albums chart in 2017, adds his voice with "Roots And Culture." Looking back, roots fans often point to the one drop base of 2024 as a highlight in the ongoing story of reggae music. With artists like these and producers such as Silly Walks Discotheque, the tradition of roots reggae continues to thrive.
