Jahtari

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jahtari is a Netlabel, founded in 2004 by Jan Gleichmar aka "disrupt"^[1] focusing on their own unique brand of electronic Dub/digital laptop reggae.

From their site:

"We are a small record label based in Leipzig/Germany and we produce a kind of music here which we call - for the lack of a better term - DIGITAL LAPTOP REGGAE (DLR).This means nothing else but that we produce first and above all REGGAE music (or DUB) in its classical sense, which in itself is nothing new, but since we're having a background of mostly electronic music we're doing this with the only tool that is obvious to use for that purpose - a COMPUTER, and a computer only."
