Dojo Rise get all loved up on coastal reggae dub track, 'Run Baby Run' - continue East Coast Tour
Rising South Australian reggae/rock-fusion act Dojo Rise is back with a fiery new single, ‘Run Baby Run’ — a high-energy, emotionally charged track inspired by classic outlaw love stories and the kind of connection that makes you throw caution to the wind.
Rooted in that timeless ride-or-die romance, ‘Run Baby Run' captures the feeling of being so wrapped up in someone that you’d follow them anywhere, no questions asked. It’s defiant, passionate, and full of heart — a groove-heavy soundtrack for two lovers on the run, willing to risk it all for each other.
Dojo Rise keep things breezy and causally infectious with ‘Run Baby Run’, a sun-soaked roots-reggae burner that’s all palm trees and porch hangs. The rhythm feels effortless—smooth and vibrant—with riffs sliding into reggae’s warm embrace. Add in those soaring horn lifts and you’ve got a track that takes flight, softens with dub delay, and lands you gently but firmly in the groove.
Call it Aussie reggae done right: loved-up, optimistic, and entirely danceable. “Run Baby Run” melts away winter blues and leaves you imagining sunshine, no matter the weather.
Musically, ‘Run Baby Run’ fuses the band’s signature reggae/rock foundation with hints of soul, hip hop, and funk. Adding serious fire to the track is the horn section of Tom Fisher, Will Endicott, and David Reglar — known for their work with Sub-Tribe and the Andrew Gurruwiwi Band. Their bold, expressive brass lines turn up the tension and release, like sirens echoing across a moonlit highway.
Dojo Rise have been steadily building momentum with their signature blend of conscious lyrics, infectious melodies, and groove-laden production. This release marks a new chapter—more expansive, more collaborative, and more defiant.
‘Run Baby Run’ is unmistakably Dojo Rise: heartfelt, rhythmically driven, and built for thrills — whether that’s a dance floor, a cross-country road trip, or a leap of faith with someone you love. It’s a love letter to loyalty. To escape. A metaphor for true love against all odds in this world of chaos and disconnection.
‘Run Baby Run’ is out now on all streaming platforms.
