The Sound of Nederreggae

“The Sound of Nederreggae” is a laid-back, rhythm-soaked dive into how reggae has been reimagined in the Dutch music scene. This playlist blends classic Nederpop like Doe Maar's "Sinds 1 Dag Of 2 (32 Jaar)" with newer reggae-influenced sounds from artists like Ziggi Recado, Chef’Special, and Diggy Dex. It showcases how reggae grooves and vibes have been adapted into a wide range of Dutch-language and Netherlands-based tracks, fusing ska, hip-hop, soul, and Caribbean influences.

Featuring chilled beats from Beef and Ziggi Recado, upbeat ska-tinged tracks by Splendid and The Roosterz, as well as genre-crossing collaborations like Luie Hond with De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig, the playlist spans a few decades of evolution. Whether it's the dub undertones of The Dubbeez or the rootsy, live energy of Rootsriders’ take on “Redemption Song,” this collection fits both head-nodding afternoons and mellow nighttime sessions.
