Seasoned roots artist Christos DC has finally released his highly anticipated new album. Kung Fu Action Theatre is a wholly instrumental/dub project that fuses traditional Chinese instrumentation with roots reggae musical arrangements, a first for the genre.

Kung Fu Action Theatre was released via Christos’s own label Honest Music on February 28, 2024. The album is a groundbreaking merging of roots reggae riddims across an entirely instrumental album that also employs the use of traditional Chinese instruments.

“I chose to do an instrumental album as I was always a big fan of instrumental reggae and would collect these releases over the years for inspiration,” says Christos. “The choice to create a fully instrumental release was made to showcase the music as that has always been an integral part of my writing process. I began creating riddims long before making the decision to pursue the path of becoming a vocal artist.”

Kung Fu Action Theatre is a bold, innovative, and beautifully crafted album that takes the listener on a journey through soundscapes that are as intricate as they are expansive. This project is a testament to the vision and artistry of Christos DC, and a must-listen for anyone interested in the fusion of musical genres and the exploration of new sonic territories.

The project reunites Christos with the immensely talented Laurent “Tippy I” Alfred of Zion I Kings and I Grade Records. Interestingly, Christos and Laurent had worked together before on several Honest Music projects, but never in person. This project was the first one done together on the island of St Croix. The final mastering was performed by Justin Weis of Trakworx Mastering and Recording in San Francisco.

Kung Fu Action Theatre is Honest Music’s first full instrumental release.
