Spanish Harlem Overview

In 2017, the Spanish Harlem Riddim brought a fresh wave of roots reggae to sound system culture. This project stands out for its deep bass, classic drum patterns, and rich instrumental layers that echo the golden era of reggae. The riddim was designed for big speakers and open-air dances, where selectors and DJs could let the music roll and the crowd feel every note. At the heart of this release is the producer known as PECKINGS. The Peckings label has a long history in reggae music, originally founded in London by George "Peckings" Price, a pioneer who helped bring Jamaican sounds to the UK. Over the years, Peckings has released many influential records and is respected for keeping traditional reggae alive, while also reaching new listeners through digital platforms and streaming services. The Spanish Harlem Riddim features strong performances from a select group of artists. Ras Sherby’s “Seven Spanish Angels” brings a soulful voice and heartfelt delivery, adding emotion to the riddim’s steady groove. Nereus Joseph, a well-known figure in UK reggae, delivers “Getting Out Of Trouble” with uplifting lyrics and a smooth flow that fits perfectly with the roots style. Iyahman Pablo’s “Jah Rastafari” stands out with spiritual themes and a powerful message, honoring reggae’s connection to Rastafari culture. King Dilly’s “Dubbing In Harlem” takes the riddim into dub territory, adding effects and echoes that highlight the producer’s skill. Spanish Harlem Riddim remains a vital recording in reggae history, linking classic sound system traditions with today’s reggae artists and fans.
