With “Strong Island,” IRIEspect is actively seeking partnerships with:

The goal is simple. Make “Strong Island” the soundtrack of the summer, a unifying anthem that represents the pride, diversity, and energy of the region.
IRIEspect, originally from Long Island, has been steadily building a reputation as one of the most exciting reggae acts in the Northeast.
The band recently released their latest album, Lost In Time, through Dubshot Records, a respected global reggae, dancehall, and dub label whose roster includes icons like Inner Circle, Sly & Robbie, Baby Cham, Dre Island, Addis Pablo, Kymani Marley and Richie Stephens.
Notably, IRIEspect stands as the only Long Island-based act currently signed to a label of this caliber within the reggae space.
IRIEspect’s deep roots across Long Island, from Montauk to Patchogue to Merrick to Huntington to Oyster Bay to Long Beach, combined with their growing national presence, position them uniquely to bridge local culture with global reggae influence.
The band performs regularly throughout the Hamptons and Montauk, including appearances at the Montauk Music Festival and venues such as The Montauket, Salt Shack, Dublin Deck, 89 North, The Paramount and Spotlight at The Paramount, Stephen Talkhouse, Amityville Music Hall, Mulcahy’s, and The Inn in Long Beach.
They also maintain a strong presence in New York City at venues like Brooklyn Bowl, Mercury Lounge, Bowery Electric, Chelsea Music Hall, and Garcia’s at The Capitol Theatre.
The group has been making waves touring year-round, sharing stages with some of the genre’s biggest names and performing at premier venues and festivals across the East Coast. Recent highlights include performances alongside The Original Wailers, Collie Buddz, Steel Pulse (sold out), Pepper, Barrington Levy, and Inner Circle, as well as festival appearances including the Great South Bay Music Festival.
Known for their high-energy live show, IRIEspect seamlessly blends reggae, dub, dancehall, jam, Latin, rock, and hip hop into a dynamic, dance-driven experience. Their versatility makes them a perfect fit for both Caribbean-rooted lineups and mainstream festival stages alike.
Beyond their performance resume, IRIEspect offers unique collaboration opportunities for partners and promoters.
Through their relationship with Dubshot Records, the band can coordinate special guest appearances from internationally recognized Jamaican artists for live events, adding major value and cross-market appeal. Past collaborations include bringing viral reggae artist Skygrass to a sold-out Brooklyn Bowl performance supporting Steel Pulse on New Year’s Eve. With a new album out now and another release slated for late 2026, IRIEspect shows no signs of slowing down.
