Joyful pulse

Joyful pulse

Romeich, Slyda di Wizard aim to revive reggae’s youth with Love Echoes rhythm

Creative chemistry is not always planned, but when it clicks, it tends to echo.

For producers Slyda di Wizard and Romeich Major, that connection continues to deepen with the release of the Love Echoes rhythm, their second collaborative effort in as many years.

Building on an already proven musical understanding, the duo describe the project as a deliberate return to feel-good energy, crafted to reintroduce warmth, joy and balance to the current entertainment landscape.

In an interview with the Jamaica Observer, Slyda di Wizard explained that, rather than chasing urgency or excess, Love Echoes was intentionally shaped to evoke emotion and uplift.

According to him, the rhythm was born out of a shared belief that music still has the power to set a mood — one rooted in connection, positivity, and timeless appeal.

“Reggae music plays a very integral role in who we are as a people, yet it is produced less each year. Romeich and I felt it would be great to bring back that feel-good vibe and hear some of those melodies from artistes we’ve come to love based on their vocal abilities. So this year we decided to produce more reggae and feel-good music,” he said. “The rhythm features Dexta Daps, Ce’Cile, Chris Martin, Richie Spice, Jah Elise, Rally Banks, Lavisch, Denyque, Blakkman, Tanzie, and Konshens, and so far the response has been very positive. People are reposting, tagging their favourite artistes, and sharing videos to their favourite songs.”

Highlighting reggae’s ability to transcend time, Major added that he hopes the rhythm will encourage fellow producers to invest more intentionally in reggae-centred beats.

“Slyda and I have been producing music for some time now. We keep it simple — he makes the beats, and I listen to them, choosing which ones I like and which fit the artistes I intend to work with,” Major said. “Reggae transcends generations and is likely to outlast other Caribbean genres because it promotes good vibes, love, awareness, positivity, and current affairs. Nothing beats a solid reggae beat that brings all of that together, and hopefully we will see more producers following suit and releasing reggae projects this year.”

Looking ahead, the producers are quietly confident about the rhythm’s reach. Slyda di Wizard says he hopes Love Echoes will yield songs capable of travelling well beyond local borders, finding space on multiple reggae charts worldwide. For him, that level of global recognition would not only validate the sound and intention behind the project, but also reaffirm reggae’s continued relevance on the international stage.
