Ticklah

Victor Axelrod, better known by his stage name Ticklah, is an established figure in the modern reggae and dub music scene, as well as a multifaceted musician and producer whose work spans across various genres. With his roots deeply embedded in the musical soil of Brooklyn, New York, he has an impressive background that includes involvement with acts such as Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, and Easy Star All-Stars. Ticklah's solo pseudonym allows him to explore his personal artistic vision, particularly his passion for reggae and dub music.

Over the years, Ticklah has carved out a niche for himself with his vintage-heavy production style, incorporating analog equipment and intricate soundscapes that hark back to the genre's golden age while infusing modern sensibilities. His body of work, animated by recent releases such as "A travers la nuit" and "Ya Llegó," underscores his commitment to exploring and expanding upon the traditional sounds of Caribbean music. The powerful "Nah Bow Down," groove-rich "Land of Confusion," spiritually charged "Praise His Name," and the critically-acclaimed "Ticklah vs. Axelrod" album illustrate his versatility and deep understanding of the reggae sound, earning him a revered spot among contemporary producers and musicians within the genre.
