Music industry dubplate maestron Pantason, known in music circles as the ‘Dubplate Legend, has been dabbling heavily in music production putting his handprints on some of the best rhythm-driven projects powered by dancehall heavyweights like Skillibeng and Skeng, released in the past year.
“After most dub sessions, artistes do a song recording session, and that is how I got most of these songs done, is a natural progression, so most of my riddims were voiced after a dub session,” Pantason, whose real name is Taj-vaughn Johnson, said.
He is the son of legendary sound system selector “Di General” Pink Panther, known for his contributions to sound clash culture and his victories in World Clash competitions.
Now, Pantason is expanding his influence and he has unleashed a fresh wave of high-powered releases shaking up the dancehall and reggae scenes locally and worldwide.
Some of the standout projects include the Demand Riddim which features gritty street anthems from heavyweight dancehall acts such as Skillibeng, Squash, Skeng, 10Tik, IWaata, Najeeriii, and Pablo YG.
Another standout project is the popular Weed and Grabba rhythm project which features stoner soundtracks that sing the praises of marijuana with dazzling cuts from Eddy G Bomba, Rajahwild, Skillibeng, and Najeeriii.
“High energy meets high grade. This Weed and Grabba project has great yardman energy and vibes,”a proud Pantason said.
PantaSon also showed off his versatility as he dabbled in the roots revival genre with the Wild Fire Riddim project with tracks from music icons like Yellowman leading out the project with well-produced gems by Delly Ranx, Warrior King, Norris Man, and Exco Levi.
Pantason is pleased that the projects are streaming well and spreading his legend across the world.
Pantason’s father, Pink Panther, also produced reggae tracks decades ago so he appreciates a producer’s key role in artistry.
“Whether the mood is melancholy, joyous, or downright reckless, producers are the song’s engine, as it’s the riddim which is the first thing that grabs our attention,” Pantason said.
All riddims are available now for instant download, along with customizable DJ drops, exclusive dubplates, and limited edition PantaSon Clothing merchandise through his website.
Known in music circles as “The Dubplate Legend,” PantaSon has cemented his reputation with elite links to Jamaica’s most in-demand artistes, and now he’s back with a blockbuster rollout of exclusive riddim compilations featuring a lethal mix of dancehall titans, reggae royalty, and soca firebrands.
According to PantaSon, the goal is to make it easier and safer for DJs, producers, and music lovers to access authentic, high-quality Jamaican recordings—without the middleman.
“Mi link with every big artiste direct, so mi can deliver fast, exclusive and clean dubplates, jingles, or riddim tracks straight from yard,” said PantaSon.
“Every song on di website is handpicked to represent di real culture.”
