Welcome to Rootfire. We are a music industry cartel focused on a lifestyle that revolves around the one drop. Rootfire began as a music management company and morphed into a record label, vinyl shop, clothing brand, and curated mixtape series. We still manage some of the biggest bands in the modern reggae world, but have reinvented Rootfire to be a lifestyle hub focused on modern reggae and progressive roots music. You can read more about our story here.
Rootfire.net is home to a shop and series of articles that is updated approximately three times per week. The website began in January 2013, and as common threads developed we linked articles into collections.
