Jah Grace Riddim – Dubophonic

Jah Grace Riddim arrived in 2022 from Dubophonic, the Cyprus-based roots and dub imprint led by UK reggae dub producer I-niverse. The label has spent years pairing modern spiritual reggae with sound system weight, and this one sits comfortably in that lane: warm bass, clean melodica-style melodies, roomy percussion, and a dubwise approach that lets the echoes breathe.

The riddim is voiced by just two singers, but both cuts carry their own character. Leo Tan opens with Jah Grace, a gospel-rooted praise tune that draws on his Christian background and gives the riddim its brightest, most devotional edge. His dub counterpart stretches that feeling into a deeper instrumental meditation. Amelia Harmony’s Thanks For Holding Me brings a more intimate tone, with a thankful, reflective lyric that works well against the same steady one-drop pulse. Her dub version keeps the same spiritual calm while giving the low end and delay trails more space to move.

What makes the release work is the balance between message and atmosphere. I-niverse keeps the arrangement uncluttered, letting the rhythm breathe rather than crowding it, and that restraint gives both vocalists room to land their lines. Leo Tan’s cut feels like the anchor, while Amelia Harmony adds a softer, more personal counterpoint. Together they make Jah Grace Riddim feel less like a simple two-song drop and more like a small but focused statement from a label that knows how to frame roots reggae in dub colors.
