Welcome to RastaRespect, an independent corner of the internet dedicated to reggae, roots, dub, dancehall and everything that makes the speakers shake.
Dig through classic records, fresh releases, riddims, albums, singles, playlists, official music videos and artists from across the reggae world. From the foundations of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff and Toots Hibbert to artists like Protoje, Chronixx, Kabaka Pyramid, Mortimer and Samory I. If it sounds good, there’s a good chance I’ll find an excuse to put it here.
RastaRespect is updated regularly with new music, videos and discoveries. No mysterious algorithm deciding what you should listen to, just a slightly unreasonable amount of reggae and one person trying to keep up with all of it.
I’m Óscar Serrano, a frontend developer and designer from Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona, and the person behind RastaRespect.
I started the site more than 15 years ago because I love reggae and apparently thought maintaining a music website forever sounded like a sensible hobby. The idea was simple: create a place to discover new music without losing sight of the artists, sounds and culture that built it.
Since then, RastaRespect has gone through more redesigns, servers, broken APIs, late-night fixes and questionable coding decisions than I’d like to admit. I still design it, develop it, maintain it and add the music myself.
Found a great release I missed? Have an idea for the site? Spotted something broken? Send me a message. Bug reports are welcome. Good reggae recommendations are even more welcome.
The serious bit:
All music, artwork and related media featured on RastaRespect remain the property of their respective copyright owners. I don’t claim ownership of third-party content, I’m just here to help people discover the music.
