Founded in 2018 by drummer, producer and Riddim Maker David Attal, Stargate Productions was created with one clear ambition: to build a creative bridge between Europe and Jamaica through original one riddim productions, distinctive artistic direction and a strong visual identity. Today, Stargate Backing Band has evolved into an independent reggae and dancehall production platform where music, imagery and storytelling come together to create a unique artistic universe.

The journey began in 2019 with the B.U Riddim, bringing together 17 international reggae artists including Luciano “The Messenjah”, Jah Mason and Exco Levi. Pronounced "Be You", the title embodies authenticity, independence and artistic freedom. The release was supported by the official video for True To The Music, performed by Luciano and directed by Romain "Sherkhan" Chiffre. Featuring internationally renowned choreographer Orville "Xpressionz" Hall, artistic director of Xpressionz Theatre and judge on Dancin' Dynamites, the video attracted international attention and established Stargate's signature as an emerging European reggae production.

Building on this success, the Love Like That Riddim followed in 2021, bringing together artists including Pressure Busspipe, Turbulence and Luciano “The Messenjah”. Built around a warm one-drop groove and a distinctive guitar arpeggio, the riddim blends conscious reggae roots with contemporary production. The single Blaze by Pressure Busspipe became one of the project's defining moments and later appeared on the album Heights of Greatness. Another highlight, Prince Levy's Vows, is available both as an official music video and as an intimate acoustic piano-vocal session, further reinforcing Stargate's commitment to combining musical authenticity with visual storytelling.

More than a record label, Stargate has become a creative platform where reggae, dancehall and visual storytelling converge into one artistic vision, continuously connecting European creativity with Jamaican culture.

Friday, 13 November 2026 will mark the opening of a bold new chapter with the worldwide release of "Where Is The Love" by Nigy Boy, the first official single from the forthcoming VORTEX RIDDIM. Distributed worldwide by VPAL Music, this first release will introduce a more modern, powerful and dancehall-driven direction, marking the official opening of the Stargate portal. The VORTEX universe will then unfold progressively through exclusive artist reveals, cinematic visuals and carefully announced international collaborations, building momentum toward the release of the complete project.
