Legendary melodica producer Addis Pablo
Legendary melodica player and producer Addis Pablo has joined forces with roots music creator Ulo Gyata for the release of “Simple,” issued through AHSISS Music Ltd and Rockers International. The new single delivers a fresh, roots-forward sound, blending classic dub sensibilities with a modern, stripped-back production style that highlights melody, rhythm, and deep bass.
“Simple” finds Addis Pablo’s signature melodica lines floating effortlessly over a spacious, groove-driven arrangement. The production channels the timeless Rockers sound while allowing the musicianship to remain front and center. The result is a track that feels both nostalgic and contemporary - appealing to longtime dub purists and new listeners seeking soulful, thoughtful reggae.
“Working with Ulo Gyata on this piece felt like getting back to the core of what reggae and dub are about - heart, rhythm and the room between the notes,” said Addis Pablo. “We kept everything lean so each sound could breathe. That simplicity is where the emotion lives.”
The collaboration marks another strong statement from AHSISS Music Ltd and Rockers International, labels committed to honoring Jamaica’s musical foundation while embracing modern expression.

I read your article about how Addis Pablo and Ulo Gyata teamed up to make the soulful dub single “Simple,” which mixes old school reggae vibes with fresh, stripped-back sound that feels calm and deep. I once felt really stressed about a hard test and ended up using I need someone to take my exam because I just could not focus, so I get how we sometimes look for help when things feel heavy. This music made me think about how good sounds and support can lift our mood.
