about
Hotdrop was born in the winter of 2004, in dark rehearsal rooms of Madrid's suburbs, where the irresistible attraction for jamaican rhythms made these reggae lovers take the same direction. The band grew gradually, thanks to underground jamm sessions, summer recordings and amazing coincidences... Long inspired rehearsal nights did the rest. But the road is long and Hotdrop’s story suffered many encounters and farewells, until it reached the stable musical line up that currently creates its mystic reggae-dub sound. Their first record "Ready" (Lafamille 2007) was the completion of this first hectic period of Hotdrop’s life, 12 original cuts that will delight every reggae lover. Its unique sound is rooted in ruff 70s’ reggae producers like Derrick Harriott, Castro Brown or Dennis Bovell combined with funk and soulful beats, where rhythm and harmonies melt together in a surrounding dub atmosphere. Its original blend of classic and modern musical elements, refreshes spanish reggae scene. Their lyrics, far from stereotypes, are beetween poetry and protest, being a true reflection of the bands dual nature, power and melody, rhythm and softness, and are sung with personality and mellowness by their three main singers.
