Shockout is a Tigerbeat6 sublabel focused on crossbreeding dance and electronic music with raw, influential elements of ragga, jungle, dub and soundsystem culture. Inspired by the leftfield dancehall of Ward 21, Vybez Kartel, Lenky, Remarc, Congo Natty and Bad Company’s best releases, the excitement of DJ Rupture’s early ragga / IDM / breakcore mashups, and Razor X (the seminal pairing of Kevin Martin’s Bug project and the Rootsman’s Third Eye label), Shockout specializes in strictly original music and exclusive vocals, hot, vital electronic producers and maverick MCs.
