Electronic Roots Rock Reggae/Dancehall. Top British Reggae Producer and top Scottish soundsystem duet remix each other’s songs, featuring lots of their regular vocalists. It’s a good thing Great Britain is carrying the Roots banner, because Jamaica’s in a musical slump these days… No FCCs detected,,,
