ANCIEN SPIRIT RIDDIM produced by SOUND BOX / MAFIA and FLUXY 1999
Ancien Spirit Overview
When the Ancien Spirit Riddim dropped in 1999, it brought a fresh yard beat that everyone in the dancehall loved. This riddim was not just another sound—it mixed the classic dancehall vibe with other music styles, like reggae and even a bit of soul. The beat was heavy and catchy, but it also had sweet melodies that made people want to move. Two artists really made this riddim shine. Earl Sixteen put his voice on the track “Freedom Train.” Earl Sixteen is known for his roots reggae style, and he’s been in the music business for years. One of his best-known songs is “Freedom Train,” which has become a classic in reggae circles. His smooth singing on the riddim gave it a deeper feeling, connecting the new dancehall sound with the roots of reggae. Levi Roots also brought energy with his song “Rasta Jubilee.” Many people know Levi Roots not only for his music but also for his famous Reggae Reggae Sauce and his appearance on the TV show Dragon’s Den. But in the music world, “Rasta Jubilee” shows his true dancehall spirit, adding fun and celebration to the riddim. Behind the scenes, the producers SOUND BOX / MAFIA and FLUXY played a big part. Mafia & Fluxy are a well-known UK production duo with a long history in reggae and dancehall. They have worked with big names and are known for their tight rhythms and high-quality sound. Looking back, the Ancien Spirit Riddim helped keep dancehall strong in 1999.
