DOUBLE TIGER XSLY & ROBBIE“WALK AWAY”NEW SINGLE OUT NOW |
|
| | | |
DOUBLE TIGER is BACK! This is the third new single from the celebrated reggae iconoclast and former member of John Brown’s Body in the last year, and the second collaboration with the legendary rhythm section of Sly & Robbie. The first, last summer’s “Yearning,” was a bomb blast of classic rub a dub energy, and “Walk Away” follows in those footsteps, with a heavy riddim, blaring horns, and Jay Spaker’s plaintive, sorrowful vocals over top. The release obviously has added poignancy with the recent death of Sly Dunbar, meaning that any collaborations like this will become fewer and farther between. The track – and its corresponding dub - was mixed by Craig Welsch, a.k.a. Dub Fader, of 10 Ft. Ganja Plant. |

RUNKUSSUPERNOVAPRE-ORDER THE NEW ALBUM |
|
| |
A unique voice in modern reggae, RUNKUS has established an avant-garde reputation, fearlessly breaking down borders, weaving together both modern and ancient into one sound. He’s worked as an artist, producer, songwriter, and scorer for the past decade, winning a MOBO (for his work on Bashy’s Being Poor Is Expensive), as well as being nominated for GRAMMY, Juno, and Ivor Novello Awards, along the way.
Recently, Runkus felt a deeper calling towards the world of visual art, which has lead to working with Bahamian artist Tavares Strachan, whose multi-disciplinary output has earned him a MacArthur Genius Prize. With the new album, SUPERNOVA, which includes guest appearances by Sean Paul and Peter Tosh, they have reignited a seamless collaboration of music and art, following in the footsteps of pairings like The Velvet Underground & Andy Warhol, Kanye West & Virgil Abloh, and (closer to Runkus’s home country of Jamaica) Bob Marley & Neville Garrick. Roots reggae, thumping bass, dancehall energy, and deep lyricism merge together to tell a story of life and death, the sheep and the wolf, the version of you that has to die for the next one to be born, all elements of SUPERNOVA.
You can now pre-order SUPERNOVA on vinyl (or pre-save the digital) at our official store, bandcamp, and other DSPs. In our pre-orders, you’ll get the four previously released singles as instant grat downloads. |

SUNDUB WITH MIKE LOVE & EARL “CHINNA” SMITH“SENT US AWAY”NEW SINGLE OUT NOW |
|
| | | |
“Sent Us Away,” the new single from SunDub’s upcoming third studio album, came together through a collaboration with two groundbreaking artists - Mike Love and the legendary guitarist Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith. The track, along with the rest of the record, was recorded initially at sessions at Tuff Gong in Jamaica, where Chinna joined to add his guitar magic. “Sent Us Away” follows the release in 2025 of the single “Love & Humanity,” which also had a very successful run as part of the Brooklyn Riddim release, featuring more than a dozen different vocalists recording tracks using the song’s riddim. With Mike Love’s distinctive vocal style playing against Joanna Teters’ powerhouse voice, “Sent Us Away” brings a serious roots vibe to the US reggae scene to start 2026.
Joanna says about the song, “The initial idea for this song came through our drummer, Ben, who brought the lyric ‘sent us away/sent us with a prayer to go on our way’ as well as the concept for the riddim. Through the years, as this song has taken shape, we’ve grappled with what the ‘true meaning’ of the lyrics are, but always coming back to the truth that it can be interpreted in different ways - politically, personally, historically, musically. At this moment in time, it is impossible to sing the verses and chorus without recognizing the abusive immigration policies that continue to destroy the lives of so many.” |

2026 is shaping up to be a big year for Runkus. Last year’s two singles ("3310" and "SURE AS THE SUN" featuring Sean Paul) have been building strong buzz for what's to come. "A BELIEVER" is the next single - a reggae forward tune with powerful sentiments about the life-saving powers of music. It drops just at the start of International Reggae Month (and just prior to Bob Marley's birthday) so it's sure to be the perfect February soundtrack and get folks fired up for everything else en route from this visionary artiste.
Runkus says: “'A true the music sound so nice make you nuh see my pain.' For as long as I've known myself, my faith in Rastafari has always sustained me, but there's another force that has kept me from sure peril all my life: music. There's a kind of salvation you get when you seek within, and as certain music helped me to my salvation, so I wish this song will help others on their own.” |
