Overview

Dancehall Reggae Australia (DRA) is an Australian online music platform and media brand focused on reggae, dancehall, soca and drum & bass. According to its official website, it was founded in 2008 with the aim of providing a hub and forum for the latest music, news and events across Australia. The site serves as a national guide for fans, aggregating tour dates, venue information and ticket alerts, and it states that it sends over 200,000 users instant alerts about tours, venues and tickets. It also works with ticketing agents to offer ticket purchasing, and it covers new music releases and music news from Australia and around the world. The platform's content spans multiple Caribbean and bass-music genres. Its homepage highlights releases such as Collie Buddz's "Light It Up (Ricky Blaze Remix)" featuring Snoop Dogg, Stonebwoy's "Bhim Nation," and Jah Sun's "I Know How It Feels," alongside news items about Australian and global reggae. It also features artists such as Dizzy Dee, whose style blends roots reggae, dancehall, afrobeat and hip hop, and videos such as Vybz Kartel's "Hold It." Upcoming events listed include "Shake the Townie" – Jungle Riddims with Skeng Teng HiFi at Foreigndub in Sydney. The site invites artists to submit their music and offers an "I Love Reggae" playlist. DRA positions itself as a central destination for Australian fans of reggae and related genres, combining editorial coverage, event listings and ticketing information. It operates primarily as a digital media and event-information brand rather than a record label, although its taxonomy hint places it near record-label imprints. Its audience is Australian, with a focus on national tours and local events. The brand has been active since 2008 and continues to publish music news and event alerts.
