Records
Sun Drop Records is a community-driven record label based out of Jacksonville, FL with a heavy focus on foundation and feeling in all aspects of the music they create and promote. From the writing and recording process, to their flagship interactive social event “The Sun Drop Social,” Sun Drop Records holds these themes true every step of the way.
The Sun Drop Social
The Sun Drop Social is an interactive percussion-based event specializing in Roots Reggae and Dub music.The percussion section and dub station are open to attendees, and guided by the experienced members of the Apricators - Sun Drop Records' Studio Band.Playing in the percussion section of a reggae ensemble is very much like having a conversation with your instrument. Each instrument gets its own space within the musical phrase to exist harmoniously with the others.The Apricators
The Apricators are the house band for Sun Drop Records. Inspired by early 70s-80s Roots Reggae, The Apricators strive to revive these classic sounds and feelings through their live performances and recordings.
Sun Drop Soundsystem
Reminiscent of the traditional Jamaican soundsystems used by record labels and DJ's in the 60's and 70's, the Sun Drop Soundsystem is more than just a stack of speakers. We specially designed and built this array of long throw speaker boxes and horns from the era, to not only let people hear music, but feel it too.
