Vitality Overview

In 2016, reggae sound systems around the UK and Europe often played the dub cut of the Vitality Riddim. The track brought the classic spirit of roots reggae into modern times, with deep basslines and echoing effects that reminded listeners of reggae’s golden era. This dub style was shaped by the old tradition, where producers and engineers would strip back songs, letting the rhythm and bass take center stage.

The label has a strong reputation in the UK reggae scene for producing authentic roots and dub music. REALITY SHOCK’s productions have been streamed by reggae fans worldwide, helping to keep the roots sound alive for a new generation. The release features several respected artists.
