Ova Rave Riddim – Zj Dymond / Full Chaarge Records

ZJ Dymond’s Ova Rave Riddim lands in the 2013 dancehall lane with the kind of club-ready energy that made Full Chaarge Records a name to watch in the early 2010s. Dymond came up through radio before moving fully into production, and that background shows in the way this set is paced for quick impact and instant crowd response.

The riddim is less about heavy roots weight than motion: stripped-down drums, a bright, skittering groove, and a bounce designed for bashment selectors and fast rewinds. It carries that loud, turn-up feel without getting cluttered, which lets the voices cut clean through. Demarco’s “Back It Up Again” fits the project especially well, with his seasoned Portmore delivery adding swagger and command. Blak Ryno’s “Ova Rave” brings a sharper edge, while Voicemail’s “Touch Har” adds the group’s familiar melodic lift and party discipline. D’Koncep’s explicit and radio versions of “Fuck Weh Mi Waan / Touch Weh Mi Waan” give the riddim some extra club mileage, and Melloquence’s “Fullcharge And Ready” doubles as a neat label shout-out.

What makes the release work is the balance between established names and newer voices, all riding the same late-night pressure. It is a dancehall juggling built for sound system play, with each cut pushing the same frantic, celebratory mood from a different angle.
