INDIE ROOTZ RECORDS  – SUMMER UPDATE  By Brian Kotler

One of the many things that my partner, producer and multi-talented musician Bobby Pottinger has taught me is “You can’t rush music”. While I tend to stay on the “business side”, I do often come up with musical concepts and ideas in which Bobby makes them into reality. I also manage to bring in a lot of the artists who have worked with us. It’s our differences that make us who we are and we also have become brothers.

For the last 6 months or so, we have been working on 3 awesome EP’s for Asher, Universal Impress and Zantelly. These artists are Montreal rising stars, we saw their talent and energy from the start. And soon enough, these artists will be headliners. By the fall of 2025 we expect all the EPs to be ready for release, but as Bobby likes to say “You can’t rush music”. Summer is always a busy time for both artists and musicians.

Indie Rootz Records is known for our top notch Reggae and Dancehall instrumentals (riddims) but we have also ventured into Blues, RnB, Rock (and even Pink Floyd). We love to think “Outside the box”, why be ordinary when you can be great. Not long ago, I met up with Pamputtae, international dancehall artist (and queen) out of Jamaica, when she was visiting Ontario. As everyone knows, Pamputtae can work it from ‘conscious’ to ‘slack’ and she sings and deejays like the best of them! She also is always looking new and different, as all professional artists do. So whether it was luck or fate, we both seized the opportunity. So this fall, you will be able to look out for Pamputtae’s next new hit song; her first time on a rock-pop instrumental (riddim). We are both very excited about this “out of the box” single and the equally exciting video to follow.
