#008: GUEST MIX: ROOTS GINJAH: on Reggae, Sound System Culture & Naked Reggae?! | Naughty Parrot Radio

In this special guest edition of Naughty Parrot Radio, host RIJ sits down with Roots Ginjah – an artist fuelled by a deep passion for reggae, sound system culture, and storytelling. While reggae may not be the usual Naughty Parrot flavour, this conversation brings serious insight, energy, and plenty of laughs.Roots Ginjah shares how growing up with a record producer father shaped his love for music, his journey through reggae into techno and hard tech, and why sound system culture runs so deep. There’s even talk of “naked reggae” – though whether we ever get to the bottom of that is another story…And of course, this wouldn’t be a Naughty Parrot guest mix without a spotlight on fresh talent. For his pick, Roots shines a light on High Smile Hi Fi – a rising name in the reggae scene with big vibes and dancefloor energy.What to Expect:Origins of reggae and sound system cultureInfluence of family and cross-genre passionDancehall, house, and “naked reggae”Spotlight on High Smile Hi FiA guest mix full of Roots’ reggae flavourFeaturing:Guest: Roots GinjahHost: RIJ (Naughty Parrot)Vibes: Reggae, Dancehall, Sound System Culture, Hard Tech Influence, Fresh TalentFollow:Instagram: @rijmusic_Brand: @naughtyparrothqListen:Mixcloud | SoundCloud | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeNaughty Parrot Radio. Be Bold.
