Astley Dixon - Romping In My Room

Review by Philip Walter

Album Review: Romping In My Room by Astley Dixon Alright, let’s talk about Romping In My Room—a little gem from Astley Dixon that feels like a warm breeze on a Jamaican afternoon. It’s one of those albums you didn’t know you needed until it sneaks up on ya and refuses to leave your head. With its roots planted firmly in reggae soil but branches stretching out into folk, world, and country vibes, this record is kinda like an old friend who tells great stories but also knows how to throw down at a party. The album bounces between genres effortlessly, but it’s the roots reggae heartbeat that keeps everything grounded. Produced by The Stage Lion (who clearly knows their stuff), these tracks have that raw, unpolished charm that makes you feel like you’re sitting right there in the studio with Dixon himself. And speaking of Dixon, he wrote all the tunes—a guy with vision, no doubt. Let’s zoom in on two tracks that stuck with me like gum on a hot sidewalk. First up, “Romping In My Room.” This tune hits different. There’s something hypnotic about the groove—it’s not too flashy, not trying too hard, just smooth as butter melting on toast. You can almost picture Dixon chillin’ in his room, probably barefoot, letting the rhythm take over. The lyrics are simple yet oddly relatable; it’s less about what he says and more about how he says it. That bassline? Pure magic. I swear, every time I hear it, I wanna grab my headphones and disappear for a while. Then there’s “Romping Version,” which flips the vibe entirely. If “Romping In My Room” is the cozy introvert jam, this one’s the life-of-the-party cousin. It’s got that dub twist—echoey, trippy, and dripping with atmosphere. It reminded me of late-night drives through empty streets, windows down, wind messing up my hair. For some reason, it made me think of Saturn (yeah, the planet). Maybe it’s the spacey vibe or maybe I’m just weird, but either way, it works. What’s wild is how this album manages to be both laid-back and full of energy. Like, you could clean your house to it, sure, but you could also zone out completely and forget you even own a broom. The fact that it came out under labels like Cobra Record and Not On Label gives it this underground, DIY edge that feels refreshingly real. So here’s the thing: listening to Romping In My Room felt like finding a hidden treasure chest in the sand. It’s not perfect, and honestly, I don’t think it wants to be. But isn’t that the beauty of music like this? It doesn’t try to impress—it just exists, doing its thing, and somehow ends up meaning something to you anyway. Final thought: If Astley Dixon ever decides to tour, I hope they serve jerk chicken at the merch table. Just saying.
