Style Scott is the legendary drummer from the infamous "RootsRadics" the No.1 Jamaican backing band. Style's credits include classics such as Gregory Isaacs' "Nightnurse", Barrington Levy's "Under me sensi" and countless other hits by the Israel Vibration, Bunny Wailer & Dub Syndicate.



The undisputed heavyweight champion of the Reggae/Dub genre whose grooves influenced the birth of the dancehall beats of the 80's. Instantly recognizable, Style has a reputation for loud, tight and fearsome fills. His delivery is second to none, whether in the studio with Capleton or Luciano, or on tour with Israel Vibration. Style is still very much in demand; from New York to London, Jamaica to Tokyo.



Dub has profoundly influenced the way producers, musicians, DJ's, engineers record and play popular music. Today, there techniques can be heard across all musical genres, from Ragga and Hip-Hop to Dance and Punk/Rock. Artists such as Capleton, Wu-Tang Clan, The Fugees, Massive Attack, Portishead, The Clash, The Police, Bad Brains, No Doubt just to mention a few. As a young musician hanging out at sound system dances, aspiring drummer Style Scott absorbed their far out heavy dub sound that was popular at the time.



By the end of the 1970s the Roots Radics had superseded the Revolutionaries, for all the same reasons as the Hot Session Band of the Day has been superseded since the days of the Skatalites.



The sound the Roots Radics created was much sparser than that achieved by the Revolutionaries, allowing more scope for a variety of one off mixes and flip side dubs.



They had changed the beat by slowing it down and injecting a far more syncopated, almost metronomic feel into it. Their trademark was a slower, sparser rhythm, precisely clipped guitar chops and mesmerizing bass, all sounding as if they'd been looped, the Roots Radics had respect for the past but looked to the future and in so doing they laid the foundations for roots reggae in the "Digital" age.



From their first #1 smash "Hard Time Pressure" (Sugar Minott), Roots Radics became the reggae studio band of the '80s. The Iyahbinghi rockers n'dub grooves they recorded at Channel One made them and the singers/Mcs (Gregory Issacs, Bunny Wailer, Israel Vibration, Frankie Paul, Eek-A-Mouse, Barrington Levy and Johnny Osbourne) they backed the undisputed kings of dancehall.
