The Last Great Producer

[underated]

I was just wondering,
Who was the last great reggae producer ?

Who was a true game changer ?
In the past there seemed to be several , the music kept evolving & was interesting to listen to.
Now of course now i don't expect Producers to reinvent the wheel, too much has already been done,
Then again who knows ?

Perhaps a new young producer could appear on the scene & their take on reggae could be stunning, that can never be counted out.
So who was the last great producer ?

Just now I'm thinking that sound came somewhere in the 90's.
I know that can't be right.

Surely pioneers were still being creative later than that ?

Is the link related to topic ?
A bit wary to hit on it , as you have a history of going off topic .
If you have something to share , don't be shy ,
Express yourself brother express yourself .

Say what you mean & mean what you say

Nice,

Still plenty of Kelly productions i still have to check out, those were creative times indeed.
Just thinking about the likes of Steelie & Cleavie & how they could make something old sound new.

Fatis. RIP.

From the Jamaican scene, my vote would have to go to Fatis Burrell / Xterminator

At the time - an original, exciting new sound with a top core team of musicians / engineers...

Caused a resurgence in 'conscious' Jamaican music

Found & developed a number of highly talented new artists but also did great works with veterans...

I think we will never see people again like this producing & rapidly building extensive catalogues - due to current music business conditions !

[guillaumebougard]

Sly & Robbie are still alive, kicking, and continue to produce great music for their TAXI label or for other record companies.

Adrian Sherwood or Gussie P, and more to come as soon as they come.

I would agree with Adrian Sherwood whole-heartedly, Fatis Burrell too. and I would also add Ryan Moore to the list!

[Johan L]

Fatis, Gussie Clarke, Mickey Bennett.

Among active producers still are Donovan Germain and Bobby Digital great and also Jammy.
