Full of guesswork. Please take this seriously, PG Music - get musicians who know what they are doing, who play in that style! Not musicians mimicking who don't have a clue. For example, the Island Reggae styles "with organ", they are just a joke. The organ in these styles should have a certain rhythmic way of playing - and it's not playing long chords over the whole bar, pad style like you do! it's on the 8-note off beats and 2 and 4. And the drums play one drop or 4 on the floor, mostly. Please make some REAL reggae, ska and soca styles, with correct drumming, like one drop drums drums and four on the floor drums (Is This Love) and such and the proper organ rhythm and real reggae bass players and guitar players, etc!

Meaning, they are assembled from different RTs of artists that recorded tracks at different time. They could be years apart There are a few very nice reggae items, but you are right, there are very small number of these, so Big +1 for Reggae/Ska RTs Especially guitars, bases, organs and winds. Drums could be programmed "close enough", but those four should be as real as they can be. Thank you for considering.
