Hey guys, I've really been getting in to way more mellow music now when I roll and have been listening to a lot of reggae. I'm very new to this genera and looking for new mellow reggae bands to listen to. I don't like the fast paced reggae but I dig the slow stuff with a good rythmn. So far I've only heard random artists that I searched on iTunes but am really enjoying the sounds of 70's Bob Marley and a band called mystic roots. I need to broaden my horizons guys! Any suggestions?

Toots & Maytals - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eATaV2umnEs
The Congo's is amazingly mellow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JhTM0Lar3Q
Over the summer at the Eddie seminar in Decatur we were rolling to sts9 (sound tribe sector 9). One of the other instructors (I think he was atleast) was playing it for open mat. Never would have thought but I was really flowing to it in rolling. Good stuff.
STS9 is great to roll to. (The guy playing that was Pat Underwood, by the way.)Quote:

I'm also liking STS 9 very much as well. Thanks guys!
this might be a reason that brazilians and islanders flow so well. the laid back tropical lifestyle.
SOJA is easily one of my favorites

You guys are listing some really old Reggae. Damian Marley, "Welcome to Jamrock" is the best album I've heard in years, and it came out this decade. Buju Banton, "Til Shiloh", is also amazing.
Ziggy Marley has some good sounds, just like his dad.
Die Antwoord, all day.
Very mellow Reggae.
Ziggy is cool, but he's represents the "Is This Love" and "Easy Skanking" side of Bob Marley.Quote:

From what I've heard (which isn't alot), the newer stuff is more fast pace & has alot more electronic beats in it. I'm not really into that kind of stuff. Just some slow, mellow, stuff with not alot of electronics.Quote:

Matisyahu is pretty badass bro but a little too hyper & fast for the kind of mood that I'm trying to capture.
you want to listen to the trojan box sets
its old school roots reggae!
skinhead reggae the only kind
the ska and rocksteady is good too!
here listen to thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o16YjS91HuI
