With an estimated 200,000 recordings over their career, it’d be an impossible task to encapsulate the decades-long career of Sly & Robbie and the impact they had not only on reggae but on music overall. Their drum & bass lines transformed, revolutionized, and influenced fans and musicians across the globe.
Sly Dunbar (drummer) and Robbie Shakespeare (bass) — affectionately known as The Riddim Twins — are widely recognized as the most influential rhythm section and production duo in Jamaican music history. Their sound has powered countless hits from the golden age of roots reggae through to digital dancehall and international pop.
Together, they helped modernize reggae, created one of Jamaica’s most iconic record labels (Taxi Records), and redefined what it meant to be a producer and musician in a global music industry.
