Telegram Overview

In 2001, GURR PRODUCTIONS released the Telegram Riddim, a roots reggae project that still stands out for its strong dub foundation. The producer behind GURR PRODUCTIONS is well-known for keeping the classic sound system style alive in modern reggae. Their focus on deep bass and crisp drums helped shape the Telegram Riddim into a timeless release, and their label has earned respect among reggae fans for high-quality roots productions. The recording process for Telegram Riddim focused on live instruments and careful mixing. This approach gave the riddim a warm, organic feel that works well on both big sound systems and home speakers. The dub cut from this release is especially celebrated for its heavy echoes and stripped-back arrangement, letting the rhythm shine. Three respected artists brought their own touch to the riddim. George Nooks, known for his hit "Face Of An Angel," delivered smooth vocals that fit the roots vibe perfectly. Glen Washington, who found success with songs like "Feelings," added his soulful style and steady delivery. Jah Mason contributed with "Plan Out," giving the riddim a conscious edge. Each artist helped shape the dub cut by bringing their unique voice and energy, making the riddim feel fresh and powerful. Telegram Riddim is still played at roots sessions and by selectors worldwide. Its dub version remains a strong example of reggae’s staying power in 2001, showing how skilled production and talented artists can create music that lasts.
