Reggae Republic #11

About

Stoking the Earth-strong reggae fire in Aotearoa! Come together, bredren & sistren! Reggae Republic is here to build a steady rhythm for reggae culture in Tāmaki, Auckland. This is a reggae renaissance, celebrating roots, revival, and the irie essence of the music we love. Featuring Dive Deep AKA Dave Guest (UK). The focus is on bringing you the finest selectors in Aotearoa keeping the music on point and the vibe high as always. Born and bred in Leeds, UK, Dave Guest aka Dive Deep has called Aotearoa home for almost nine years. A skanka’ and a selecta’, he shares his love of soundsystem culture and reggae with whoever is open to listen. His ever-growing collection and connection to the rebel sound have brought him to a special moment in any DJ’s journey: a full session to tell his story, from the first tune to the last. Gather your crew and come settle into the bass. From the sweet heavy basslines of dub, reggae in Aotearoa has always been a powerful force of connection, community, and resistance. With deep roots in Jamaican culture and a thriving presence in New Zealand, reggae reminds us of the strength of oneness – “Out of many, one people.” We’re committed to the continuation and distribution of reggae music, culture, and spirit. It’s a space where all are welcome to skank, chant, and feel the good vibrations, every single month. Love, Unity, and Positive Vibrations!
