The Sound of Finnish Reggae

“The Sound of Finnish Reggae” brings together a diverse cross-section of Finland’s homegrown reggae and dub scene, blending laid-back grooves, conscious lyrics, and a northern twist on island rhythms. With tracks like Kapteeni Ä-ni’s “Kaffipäissään” and Puppa J’s “Lasitimanttei,” the playlist highlights the genre's early roots in Finland, while newer sounds from artists like Iida Sams & Juno or The Meänland keep things current with experimental edges and local color.

Smooth melodic cuts from Raappana, Jukka Poika, and Soul Captain Band sit alongside heavier dub explorations from Poorman Dub Sound, Kuhnafar-I, and Studiored. There’s also room for genre-blending with hip-hop, folk, and ska influences coming through tracks by acts like Profeetta ja Uusi Maailmanuskonto, JätkäJätkät, and Muuan mies. From mellow summer vibes to heavier political undertones, this playlist offers a snapshot of Finnish reggae’s variety and underground depth.
