I'm looking for reggae suggestions.....

[el dub]

Hey, folks. I listen to a lot of old-school reggae like Burning Spear, Israel Vibration, Culture, Augustus Pablo, etc.

But I'm looking for some ideas on who is putting down the roots rock reggae today in order to expand my horizons a bit.

Dub is OK in my book. Maybe some dance hall. But no lovers reggae, please.

Thanks in advance.

Hey there, this is my second post here on icmag.

I'm not really into modern reggae myself, more like old school roots like yourself, but you should really check out :
Fantan Mojah
Turbulence
Soldiers Of Jah Army
Richie Spice

Lets settle with those until the thread gets going
