HOT AIR RIDDIM produced by ANCIENT RECORDS 2014
Hot Air Overview
When the Hot Air Riddim dropped in 2014, it brought a raw street energy that made it stand out from other bashment projects of its time. The riddim’s base was heavy and direct, giving dancehall sessions a tough, street anthem feel. This was different from some other riddims of the era, which sometimes leaned more toward pop or electronic sounds. Hot Air Riddim kept things gritty and real, which fans loved. Ancient Records, the producer behind the riddim, is well known in dancehall for shaping the sound of the 2010s. Ancient Records was started by Aidonia and has produced several big tracks that helped define modern dancehall. Their work on Hot Air Riddim shows their skill at building beats that DJs and fans keep returning to, even years later. The artists on this project each brought their own style. Aidonia’s “Don Deh Ya” is a strong example of his commanding delivery. Aidonia is known for hit songs like “Yeah Yeah” and for leading the 4th Genna movement in dancehall. Deablo appears twice, with “Gold Mine” and “Size Zero,” showing his versatility on the riddim. Jayds, with “Virgin Island,” adds a smooth but streetwise touch. Tanso’s “Unleash Hornyness” brings another layer of energy. The Hot Air Riddim is still played by DJs today, keeping the sound of 2014 alive. Its street anthem base and the work of Ancient Records helped it stand out, making it a favorite among dancehall fans and a key bashment project of its era.
