Sunset Tsunami return with their second single ‘Trigger Warning’, a heavyweight dubwise tune featuring one of Aotearoa’s most respected roots/reggae vocalists Israel Starr.
Driving basslines, dubbed-out echoes, and live instrumentation collide with Sunset Tsunami’s sample-rich textures - a production built for both the sound system arena and forward-thinking club spaces.
‘Trigger Warning’ is a slice of electronic dub, built around a heavy leaning sub which evokes the weight of Scotland’s soundsystem pioneers Mungo’s Hi Fi. As Israel Starr recalls: “One beat caught my ear and I started freestyling. The first words that came were ‘Trigger Warning, from the top of the hill.’ Three takes later, it was done.”
The track sees Sunset Tsunami’s first release with a vocalist, roping in the legendary Israel Starr. His brand of authentic roots/reggae has seen him produce some of the most acclaimed and ambitious reggae music from Aotearoa, with his catalogue boasting multiple Platinum and Gold records. He brings his trademark flow to the Sunset beat, with the two artists blending their styles to create a dub-drenched sound.
‘Trigger Warning’ lands as Sunset Tsunami’s second single, following ‘Dub Till Dawn’, which introduced their blend of heavyweight dub rhythms, hypnotic textures and vocal-led atmospherics (complete with a D&B refix from Sydney producer MO2). With more singles on the horizon, this release marks another step toward Sunset Tsunami’s debut album, due December 2025.
