To kick off 2025 following a successful 2024 run, Dukes of Roots present ‘Money’, a single that filters the iconic Pink Floyd classic through a roots reggae rock lens, resulting in a sonic revival which spills soul by the smorgasbord, instantly transplanting the listener in a tonal utopia where the grooves come easy, and the high vibes come easier.
Released on the 24th of January, the rework, which translates as though it should have always spilt from Dukes of Roots’ cultivated hands, has already racked up almost 10k streams on Spotify alone as an attestation to the salvation that radiates from the reggae rhythms.
The release stands as a carefree protest against capitalistic greed that hits just as hard as it did in 2025 as it did in 1973. While it’s depressing that money has even more of a chokehold on us in the 21st century, there’s plenty of solace spilling through the organically rich and expansive production that makes the staccato guitar chops and the lead vox the centrefold of this ingenious reimagining.
Money is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
