Silent Addy & Disco Neil Are World Music View’s Dancehall Producers Of The Year — 2025

Silent Addy and Disco Neil stand unmistakably at the center of Dancehall’s global movement in 2025. The Miami-based producer duo — already respected across dancehall, Afrobeats, and diasporic club culture — unlocked a new level of worldwide impact in 2025 with Moliy’s breakout smash “Shake It To The Max (Fly)”, earning them the title of World Music View’s Dancehall Producers Of The Year.

A Global Record With Local Soul

Originally released under Gamma on January 24, 2025, Shake It To The Max (Fly) captured lightning in a bottle. Driven by Silent Addy and Disco Neil’s precision-built riddim — equal parts dancehall grit, Afropop shimmer, and club-ready bounce — the song surged from social-media dance challenges into full-blown chart dominance.

Momentum exploded further when the first remix featuring Skillibeng and Shenseea arrived in February 2025. The track detonated across TikTok thanks to viral choreography and unstoppable club rotation — firmly restoring dancehall’s presence in mainstream pop spaces.

By June 20, 2025, the single achieved a landmark milestone in the United Kingdom:

• Certified Silver by the BPI

• 200,000+ sales and streaming-equivalent units

On the charts, the record hit: No. 12 — UK Official Singles Chart and No. 44 — Billboard Hot 100 (week ending June 21, 2025) giving both Disco Neil, Silent Addy and Shenseea their first Billboard Hot 100 hits.

For a dancehall-driven collaboration led by Ghanaian star Moliy, this was more than a hit — it was a cultural moment.

The Remix Era — Dancehall Meets The World

More remixes followed, each extending the record’s global life:

• Kalash & Maureen (Martinique remix)

• Major Lazer remix

• Gladdest “Done With Ya Ex” remix — which itself sparked a viral dance movement before official release

• Sean Paul “Tuff” remix — adding a legendary stamp of approval and even Vybz Kartel and Stefflon Don had unreleased remixes.

This layered remix ecosystem reflected something bigger than a song — it became a worldwide riddim moment.

Moliy’s Moment — And The Producers Behind It

For Moliy, the track represents her second UK Silver certification and her highest-charting single to date in multiple territories. But central to the story is how Silent Addy (Adam Kevin Alexander) and Disco Neil (Neil Dyer) shaped the sonic vision.

Their production blends:

✔ authentic dancehall heritage
✔ Afro-fusion melody sensibility
✔ crisp engineering built for global airplay
✔ undeniable bass-driven movement

Behind the boards, they were supported by elite engineers including Dave Emery (Dolby Atmos mixing) and Mark “Exit” Goodchild (mastering & mixing) — helping the song translate across headphones, festivals, radio and dance floors.

Dominating Worldwide Charts

Across 2025, Shake It To The Max (Fly) became a fixture on global charts — landing Top 10 and Top 20 positions across Europe, Africa, North America, and the Caribbean, while also topping genre charts including:

• US Afrobeats Songs — No. 1

• UK Afrobeats — No. 1
