General Roots

About

General Roots isn’t just playing dub; he’s dissecting it, rebuilding it, and injecting it with a future-shock aesthetic. Hailing from the UK, this producer/DJ isn't content to simply echo the genre's hallowed past. Instead, he crafts a sonic landscape where vintage reggae riddims collide head-on with cutting-edge electronic production. Think Augustus Pablo meets Burial, where echoing melodica lines dissolve into shimmering washes of reverb-drenched synths and earth-shaking bass. His career has been a steady climb, marked by a relentless pursuit of sonic perfection. Releases on respected labels, alongside consistently electrifying live performances at festivals and clubs across Europe, have solidified his reputation as a force to be reckoned with. He moves fluidly between the studio and the stage, delivering sets that are both deeply rooted in dub tradition and boldly forward-thinking. General Roots is a sonic alchemist, transforming the raw ingredients of reggae and dub into something new and vital. His impact lies not just in replicating a sound, but in pushing its boundaries, ensuring its continued relevance in an ever-evolving musical landscape. Recent projects hint at further experimentation, promising a future where the echoes of Jamaica reverberate through the digital age with even greater force.
