Heat Wave Riddim – After Hours Records

London’s After Hours Records kept things tight on Heat Wave, a four-track 2011 dancehall set built around a bashment-forward instrumental that later turned up as the Heat Wave EP under Deejay Fingers’ name in early 2012. Don Andre’s “Mi Baby” leans into the hooky side of the riddim, while Andre Felix’s “Heaven Sent” and Horny Pastar’s “Everybody Horny” ride the same sharp, mischievous groove with a little more edge. The whole thing feels like a small but pointed snapshot of where the label was headed then: a producer-led outfit out of London, running a lean version cut, a few vocal pulls, and a catalogue that already favoured concise dancehall sets over crowded compilations.
