Gorgan Overview

The Gorgan Riddim is a reggae project that stands out at today’s roots events. It brings together strong voices and classic styles, all built on a solid foundation rhythm. The production comes from JUSTICE RECORDS, a label known for supporting authentic reggae sounds. JUSTICE RECORDS has been active since the 1980s, with a reputation for releasing both new and classic reggae tracks. A key part of this release is the dub engineer, whose mixing gives each track a rich, deep feel. The recording process used live instruments and traditional studio techniques, which help the riddim sound warm and powerful. These choices keep the original roots spirit alive. The artists on this set each bring their unique style to the foundation rhythm. Cornel Campbell’s “Gorgan” is a highlight, showing why he is famous for songs like “Queen of the Minstrels.” Frankie Paul? delivers “You Came Running Back,” adding his smooth voice, well-known from hits like “Worries in the Dance.” Horace’s “Andy Better Collie” and Kofi’s “Holy Mount Zion” both offer strong roots messages. Luciano, known for “Messenger” and his many awards, sings “Kingdom Of Jah,” bringing spiritual energy. Other tracks include Luckie D’s “Hold On Me,” Michael Rose’s “Sweet Sensimelia,” Tony Curtis’s “There Goes My Wife,” Tubbys’s “Collie Dub,” and U Roy’s “Gorgan Wise.” Together, these songs keep reggae’s roots strong for today’s listeners.
