Riot Vinyl & CDs

Review: House music's roots are in the church and this new a celebratory various artist collection pays homage to that. The grooves are laced with soulful vocals, churchy chords and big strings that make for grand architecture and grander feelings of joy. Mark Brickman & Yam Who? open with a vocal gem that cannot help but bring a smile, while Wayfaring Strangers pump it up a little more with some funky disco house before Platinum City get you locked in a nice loose, long legged groove that is resplendent with lush keys and big vocal turns. 'Yah Mo B There' has an irresistible 80s vibe and big sing along choruses that will get hairs standing on end.

Review: Yam Who? steps up to the Riot label with a series of remixes of recent tunes from Sean Scanlan & Co. 'Down To Love Town' (feat Brian Lucas) is first up for a Starlight Disco mix that taps into old school disco bliss with glorious vocals and lavish synths and instrumentals. 'Wha' Cha Gonna Do' (feat Alexis Victoria Hall) is next up with some heart-swelling vocal delights over funky basslines and exuberant horns, then 'Get Out Of My Own' (feat Octavia Lambertis) becomes a deeper disco gem and 'Daydreaming' (feat Elysha West) is a soulful flourish to finish.
