Stargate Backing Band is an independent European reggae & dancehall production platform founded by drummer, producer and riddim maker David Attal. Since 2018, Stargate Productions has developed original one riddim projects, international collaborations and a distinctive visual identity connecting Europe with Jamaica.

2019, the " B.U Riddim " united 17 international reggae artists, including Luciano “The Messenjah”, Jah Mason, and Exco Levi, establishing a structured and contemporary new roots signature with international reach. Pronounced “Be You,” the title stands as a manifesto of authenticity and artistic independence. The release of this first "one riddim album" was accompanied by the official music video for "True To The Music" by Luciano “The Messenjah”. Directed by Romain “Sherkhan” Chiffre and featuring renowned choreographer Orville “Xpressionz” Hall (artistic director of Xpressionz Theatre and judge on Dancin' Dynamites), the video made a strong international impact and positioned Stargate as a rising European reggae production force.

In 2021, the "Love Like That Riddim" solidified this international momentum, featuring artists such as Pressure Busspipe, Turbulence, and Luciano The Messenjah. Built on a warm one-drop beat, driven by a signature guitar arpeggio, this riddim blends depth with modern energy. "Blaze" by Pressure Busspipe echoes the global resonance of the "Black Lives Matter" movement and appears on the album "Heights of Greatness" (August 2021). Prince Levy's “Vows” stands out as a powerful anthem to love, showcasing the range of his voice. The single is available as an official music video as well as an intimate acoustic piano-vocal version.

Scheduled for release in September 2026, "VORTEX RIDDIM" will mark the beginning of a bold new chapter for Stargate. Blending a sharper modern sound with a stronger dancehall identity, the project will introduce a new generation of international collaborations and an original visual production by Stargate Productions. As the label's most ambitious release to date, VORTEX RIDDIM will be unveiled progressively through exclusive announcements, official visuals and new artist reveals in the months leading up to its release.
