Digital-B was Bobby "Digital" Dixon's label and production house, a major late-1980s and 1990s bridge between digital dancehall, roots-conscious singers and the updated versions of classic rhythms that kept older Jamaican musical memory active in a new studio language.

Clement Dodd's studio and label, often called the "Motown of Jamaica" for its role across ska, rocksteady and reggae.

Channel One was a Kingston studio and label built in 1972 by the Hoo Kim brothers - Joseph "Jo Jo" (producer), Ernest (engineer) and Paul (who ran the studio's sound system) - reaching its peak influence around 1975-76 with a heavier, "rockers" drum sound that reshaped roots reggae production. Paul Hoo Kim's killing in 1977 disrupted the studio, but Channel One remained a working space into the 1980s, hosting productions by Sly and Robbie and Henry "Junjo" Lawes.

Joe Gibbs Music was producer Joe Gibbs's label, run with engineer Errol "ET" Thompson as "the Mighty Two." After Channel One's mid-1970s peak, Gibbs and Thompson's studio became one of the defining sounds of late-1970s roots reggae and dub production.

Madhouse Productions was Dave Kelly's production house, known for shaping some of 1990s dancehall's most influential riddims and for giving artists a sharply produced, sparse and percussive sound that travelled well from Jamaican dances to international clubs.

In.Digg.Nation Collective is a label and collective associated with artist Protoje, part of the 2010s "Reggae Revival" movement of younger Jamaican artists releasing roots-influenced music through independent, internationally-distributed channels rather than the older major-label/riddim-producer system.
