Over the past few weeks, we’ve been giving away free MP3s from our two new reggae releases via Facebook. We’re very excited to announce that those two new releases are now available for pre-order!
ROIR presents Digitaldubs first US release, “#1“, which drops a wicked selection featuring singers, deejays, and, of course, killer dubs. The duo enlist such legendary vocalists as Ranking Joe, Earl Sixteen, and Brinsley Forde of Aswad, as well as Brazilian contributers Jeru Banto and Dada Yute to set fire to some crucial riddims.
Digitaldubs #1 will be in all good record stores August 30th
Two years after releasing their critically acclaimed album “Bush Rock” and a year removed from dropping “10 Deadly Shots”, the ‘Plant is back stronger and with their deep in the pocket roots sound in full effect. The ‘Plant were thrilled to collaborate with reggae legends Prince Jazzbo & Sylford Walker, each dropping two vocal gems, while Meditations great Winston Watson kindly provided additional harmonies throughout. The sound is 70′s exquisite.
We will be releasing two new reggae/dub releases on August 30… a new record by one of our favorite American acts 10 Ft. Ganja Plant and the international debut by Brazilian dub sensations Digitaldubs.
As you may have heard, we’ve been giving away tracks from both albums on Facebook. Well, this week is your last chance to grab a free MP3 from both bands as we’ll be starting pre-orders next week!
Last week, 10 Ft. Ganja Plant gave away the track “My Roots” featuring reggae legend Sylford Walker from their upcoming album “Shake Up The Place”… well, this week’s track features yet another Jamaican reggae great, Prince Jazzbo.
ROIR is excited to announce that we will be releasing the international debut by Brazilian dub sensations Digitaldubs!
Digitaldubs were one of the first soundsystems in their native Rio de Janiero, Brazil. They’re now one of the country’s most respected acts, having revolutionized reggae culture in their homeland and brought the Brazilian reggae sound all over Latin America and Europe.

We’re stoked to announce that we’re once again working with one of our favorite bands, Dub Trio to release our fourth album with them, “IV”.
The album comes out on CD, MP3 & LP on October 25 and it’s the dub/metal band’s first studio album in three years since he boys have been keeping busy acting as the touring band for Mike Patton’s Peeping Tom and Matisyahu.
Bassist Stu Brooks says of the album:
“IV was recorded after touring for 2 and a half years with Mike Patton promoting our last album Another Sound Is Dying… It had been the longest duration of time in between releases. By the time we hit the studio, we were extremely hungry to put down the ideas. Most of the record was written while we were on the road. One of the most memorable and prolific sessions was in a small commune town in Brittany, France. One church, one bakery, and a cafe.”
Drummer Joe Tomino adds:
“When listening to IV you can hear that ‘dub’, as a concept and less as a genre synonymous to reggae, is at the core of the music, and while listening you’ll hear everything from metal to dubstep….there’s even a prepared piano track… As always, we aspire to create a visceral experience for the listener, and IV is no exception.”
Dub Trio will be touring in Europe and North America in October & November… stay tuned for tour dates!
We’re very happy announce that we’re once again working with Dub Trio and will be releasing their upcoming record “Dub Trio IV” in October!
