JUNA-VILL lines up Di Regulator rhythm for global May 22 release

Jamaican producer Collin “JUNA-VILL” Clarke is pressing on with work he sees as reggae with real weight. Through his JUNAVILL Records imprint, he will put out the Di Regulator rhythm—a culture-led compilation aimed at listeners worldwide from May 22.

The set turns on themes of structure, alertness, discipline, and responsibility to culture. Clarke frames it as part of a wider effort to keep reggae’s core intact while stretching its footprint abroad.

“The title represents order, awareness, discipline, and cultural responsibility. Di Regulator rhythm is centred around substance, consciousness, authenticity, and worldwide appeal — continuing the vision of reggae music built on both rhythm and meaning,” the producer explained.

The track list brings together Lutan Fyah, Turbulence, Ginjah, Utan Green, Ganggoolie, Sativa D Black 1, Emanuel Stain, Excel Black, Sequence Di Boss, Sprain Brain, INoah, Soul Rebel, Trish-Indi and Little Hero. Clarke said each name was chosen with care for how they speak to social conditions and reach audiences through music that carries intent.

“These artistes were selected because of their awareness of social issues, their willingness to challenge existing norms, and their ability to unite people through shared experiences and meaningful music. I align with voices that carry purpose, substance, and responsibility,” he continued.

With reggae still shifting on international platforms, Clarke wants Di Regulator to find ears far from Jamaica without drifting from what he calls authentic ground. “My hope for Di Regulator Riddim is for the project to connect with people across worldwide audiences through both its rhythm and its message,” Clarke shared. “I want the music to inspire thought, unity, resilience, and cultural upliftment while continuing to reinforce reggae music as a global force shaped by consciousness and authenticity.”

For Clarke, the launch is another stage in JUNAVILLRecords’ push into roots reggae marked by depth and cultural backbone. Looking across the rest of 2026, he said the label’s priority is to widen respect for the brand on the global circuit.

“My focus for the remainder of 2026 is to continue strengthening JUNAVILL Records as a globally respected reggae brand while building a catalogue driven by rhythm, meaning, and cultural value. With the music already reaching worldwide audiences through radio, television, streaming platforms, and international media coverage, the objective now is to deepen cultural influence, expand the catalogue strategically, and continue creating timeless reggae music that can stand the test of time,” he continued.

As an independent producer in a changing industry, Clarke also spoke to newcomers trying to build their own space. “Listen to your silent inner voice and create from a place of truth rather than imitation. Trends fade quickly, but timeless music guided by authenticity and purpose will always endure. It is equally important to understand the business behind the music, protect your ownership, and build with long-term vision rather than temporary attention,” he said.

He thanked fans who back what he calls genuine reggae. “To all supporters worldwide, I extend sincere gratitude for believing in authentic reggae music and supporting the vision of JUNAVILLRecords,” he said. “Don’t support the phony: support the real. I remain committed to delivering music built on integrity, consciousness, and cultural substance.”
