Independent by nature.

Built for the music.
Driven by the culture.

RUGIENT Records is a U.S.-based independent music company operated by Black Maple LLC. Founded by Craig Harriman, also known as Mr. Beachside, RUGIENT brings together recording artists, producers, and creative collaborators.

Rooted in reggae and sound-system culture, our work moves through dub, dancehall, hip-hop, and genre-defying fusion. Original records, collaborative sessions, and live experiences form part of the same creative journey.

From Maine to a wider network of artists and audiences, RUGIENT is building a home for music with a clear identity and room to evolve.
