Island.Wav brings back ‘riddim’ tradition with debut juggling release Sacred

Island.Wav, the fresh production duo comprised of Keron “KaleX” Alexander and Aundre “RiddimBoss” Edwards, is making waves with their first juggling release entitled Sacred — a rich, roots-reggae compilation that blends the smooth soul of crooners with the edge of emerging voices in the genre.

In an era when reggae and dancehall have somewhat evolved from the juggling culture,
Sacred boldly revives the art of one rhythm, multiple voices.

Featuring a mix of both rising stars and respected talents, the project boasts powerful tracks from Ras-I, Chris Malachi, Akina Eman, Imeru Tafari & Haile Celestial, Zhayna, King Izem, Royal Blu, and Indie Allen — each bringing their own sacred message and melody to the rhythm.

“This project is about preserving the roots while creating something that sounds like now,” said Island.Wav. “We grew up on jugglings — whether it was Diwali, Seasons, or Show Time — where every song created a different vibe yet it was the same riddim…and we really got to see how creative artistes could get with lyrics and melodies when they all got the same sound to work with. We oftentimes wonder and talk about why our generation hasn’t done more of that. Sacred is our answer to that question. It’s modern, soulful, and most importantly, our take on reggae.”

All songs on the Sacred rhythm were recorded, mixed, and mastered at the iconic Harry J Recording Studio, the legendary home for reggae’s golden era, which has been reawakened with new creative energy.

The juggling is distributed by the New York-based DubShot Records, ensuring international partnerships for a project that blends nostalgia with forward movement.

From prayerful meditations, testaments of love, and self-curing healing; Sacred offers something for every reggae lover — whether you’re a vinyl collector or a digital enthusiast. Island.Wav’s Sacred has been officially available on all platforms since Friday, May 9, 2025.

Hailing from the vibrant heart of Jamaica, RiddimBoss and KaleX (Island.Wav) are two visionary music producers on a mission to elevate Jamaican sound and culture to unprecedented heights. Rooted in the rich legacy of dancehall and reggae, their production fuses authentic island vibes with cutting-edge global sounds — crafting a powerful blend that resonates far beyond the Caribbean. Their work is more than just production — it’s a cultural movement aimed at redefining the sound of the future while honouring the roots that shaped them.
