Artist History
For over 10 years now Rej Forte's Jah Works Label has produced Roots Music that is distinctive and unique, blending old school values with modern production techniques. The Jah Works Sound is Big, Atmospheric and full of 'old fashioned vibes'..The emphasis is on quality not quantity. Passion and creativity are the key elements reflected in a recording philosophy whereby computers and sequencers are not employed and all instruments (excepting Drum Machine) are played live. Over the years the Jah Works imprint has been active in promoting the careers of new quality names to the Reggae Scene and has been responsible for the first releases of many artists… Martin Campbell (Who can we run to) Sister Netifa (Woman determined) Donette Forte (Rhythm of resistance) Mene Man (Who are you) UK Players (Further) Jah Works productions and especialy Jah Rej’s blistering dub mixes have long been favorites amongst the top UK sound systems, particularly the legendary Jah Shaka. Recently Jah Works has developed its own studio – Seventh Sense, and has moved to another level of creativity, resulting in a plethora of new and exciting material |
