Based out of San Francisco, Extra Classic is a unique live band formed with a keen appreciation of vintage reggae & vintage sounds. The aesthetic, and certainly the skilled method of their production, is an ode to the art of that classic style as referenced to the term coined by the Cool Ruler himself. Recording in their own studio, Nopal Recording, the band employs a taster’s choice of analog equipment and is devotedly tracked, spliced and mixed in-house direct to tape. However, as the group’s name itself implies, there is a dose of something extra and new in this swirling mixture of space echo, heavy phase, and emotive, psychedelic California-soul. 

Built upon the rock of an early-era dancehall swing, their first single in conjunction with Brooklyn-based imprint Names You Can Trust entitled In This Life, is a perfect slice of lover’s rock gone sideways, a decidedly left-coast piece of roots and bliss driven by Adrianne’s lovely lead vocals and the steady, dusty echoes of the locked in players. Presented in the traditional format with a B-side version as per NYCT fashion, the dub mix incorporates a soothing dose of synare beams and underwater instrumental dreams.

Extra Classic - In This Life (Version)

Tarot started her official musical journey in February 2024. With a love of all genres, she started in her early 20s in events promotion and performing but never took to the decks herself. As we fast forward she is now heavily involved in the Soundsystem culture and events scene and is a regular at events and festival's across the uk, 'Tarot' was born with a love and curiosity to 'hear that track on the rig!'. So here we are establishing herself and her identity, bringing some ambient melodic vocals but floor stomping techno, the most tuneful of electronic breaks all with a naughty little twist of the Psy vibe we love to loose ourselfs to but dont be fooled shes not afraid of a challenge and will try any genre she fancied bouncing to. Tarot believes in feeling the music just like we do with our Soundsystems -  'you want to feel that bass wrap itself around your legs and make you stomp'.

appreciating talent and courage of fellow humans

Making beats from hip-hop, techno, jungle to reggae and dubstep.  Enjoy!
