Yam Who?
Browse the latest digital releases by Yam Who?
Review: An in-house three-way here as Midnight Riot boss Yam Who? teams up with his partner-in-crime Phil Rose AKA Jaegerossa (who runs the Black Riot sub-label) and regular collaborator Rebecca Scales, whose tonsils have graced several previous Midnight Riot releases. The resulting track is exactly the kind of uplifting Saturday night disco-houser you'd expect and is served in three mixes: DJ Mark Brickman's will pack the most punch on commercial floors but these ears are drawn to the slightly smoother, sultrier Original Mix, which comes with a matching instrumental and which will be the better bet in the more soulful spots.

Review: UK disco don Yam Who? once more teams up Lincolnshire-based vocalist Suki Soul and He Who Shall Not Be Googled (Mr Smith) on this cover of Krystol's 1984 boogie classic 'After The Dance Is Through'. Their rendering wisely leaves the song structure intact, simply upping the tempo a notch or two and giving the track a light topcoat of shimmering nu-disco polish, while Suki turns in an impressive vocal performance - especially when you consider that she's having to try and compete with an original sung by a trio. A cert on soulful and nu-disco floors for the summer, with simple vocal and instrumental rubs to choose from.

Review: A heavy-hitting collab here as UK disco stalwart Yam Who? joins forces once more with San Francisco-based soul vocalist Brian Lucas. There's a distinctly Sly Stone-esque quality to Lucas's performance on 'Gettin To Know You', an uplifting and peaktime-oriented but still very musical affair with infectious pianos, a soaring sax line and gospel-style BVs. It has to be said that the Extended, Main and Radio mixes really differ only in length - a little more variety wouldn't have gone amiss but then again, you know what they say to do when it ain't broke...

Review: The boogie vibes are strong in this three-way team-up between disco stalwart Yam Who?, northern UK vocalist Suki Soul and the mysterious Mr Smith, about whom we can't tell you much except that he once made a record called 'Santa's Techno Sled' so he can't be all bad! Atop a background that's long on squelchy analogue synths, fat funk bass (both organic and synthesized) and gloriously 80s-sounding drum machine beats, Ms Soul promises her lover that while she'll "be a good girl for the world", it really is the quiet ones you've got to watch...

Review: Second time around for the ninth volume in Papa Records' reliable Messages compilation strand, which first hit stores back in 2014. This edition has been expanded via the inclusion of two fresh exclusives from compiler Richard Earnshaw: his picturesque, sun-splashed, life-affirming 2022 revision of Jon Cutler's 'I'll Take You' and a pleasingly rich, soulful and piano-powered revision of he and Sebb Junior's 'Got Yo Lovin'. The rest of the collection remains as essential as it was eight years ago, with highlights of the deep and soulful house treats on offer including the chunky late-night wooziness of Earnshaw's hook-up with Eli Escobar, 'Sunday Morning', the jazzy and spiritual flex of Jimpster and Rich Medina's 'This Thing' and the low-slung, early morning bounce of 'Nina' by Eric Erickson.

Review: Here's an EP that's almost a fully-fledged supergroup in its own right, as three very well-respected producers from the contemporary disco scene - Andy Williams AKA Yam Who?and UK duo Jaegerossa - join forces, and draft in accomplished vocalist Brian Lucas on tonsil duties. What they've come up with between them is an uplifting peaktime soulful/disco houser that'll go down a storm at the likes of 51st State and Vocal Booth Weekender, while for a more authentically 70s sounding pass you can head for the Live From Philly Mix. Radio and instrumental rubs complete the package.

Review: This two-tracker from Midnight Riot has all the makings of a future disco-house anthem. It comes courtesy of label regular Natasha Kitty Katt, imprint big cheese Yam Who and vocalist Jacqui George. In its EP-opening "Gospeldelic Mix" form, "Into Your Life" is a rushing fusion of rolling house grooves, spacey synth solos, jangling gospel house pianos and a stunning lead vocal from George that should get the hairs on the back of your next leaping heavenwards. Danny Kane handles remix duties, offering a slicker and smoother interpretation that sits somewhere between nu-disco (check the squidgy new synth parts), soulful house and bouncy disco-house. Like the version that preceded it, Kane's mix is a genuine winter warmer.

Review: Notching up a decade in the business is big news for any label, so congratulations must go to Yam Who's ISM label. He's decided to mark the imprint's first decade in some style via a series of compilations that highlight some of the killer nu-disco, boogie, disco, house and Balearic jams nestling in ISM's bulging back catalogue. Highlights are plentiful throughout, from the Imagination-inspired electrofunk flex of Ron Basejam's killer rework of Alena's "Changes" and the synth-heavy rush of Balearic disco maestro Pete Herbert's revision of M Roberto & Nikolay Denev's "Be Yourself", to the breezy, soul-fired dancefloor warmth of Jonathan Ryno's "Don't Know Love" and Mark E's terrifically loved-up deep house tweak of Robot 84's "Lookin' For Love".

Review: Spain's Rare Wiri label bring us their second retrospective label comp, which follows on the heels of last year's Vol 1, and just a quick glance at the artists involved - who include Ilya Santana, Rayko, The Beat Broker, Yam Who? and Ziggy Phunk - will give the initiated a pretty good idea of the quality on offer! Gazeebo's 'Soul Dance' is rooted in the deep funk of the early 70s, Phunk's 'Let It Move You' is a brass-spangled disco-house groover, Rayko's 'B-Nano' has an 80s Italo vibe, 'Whishbone' by Parissior channels late 70s Euro-disco, and so it goes on for six more very playable nu-disco bullets.

Review: This latest collaboration between Yam Who? and Jaegerossa comes in three mixes, and between them should find its way onto a range of floors. The lead Yam Who? & Jaegerossa Remix is the one for the soulful/disco house floors, with a top-drawer vocal from Ms Wallace, lavish strings and a Joey Negro-esque exuberance. The Boogie Remix, unsurprisingly, takes us into boogie territory and sports a fat, squidgy bottom end to match, but perhaps more impressive is the Retro Soul Mix, an altogether more organic-sounding pass that could easily hold its own alongside the likes of the Dap Kings et al.

Review: Midnight Riot's first celebration of gospel-fired disco and boogie, "Take It To Church", was rather special, so hopes are naturally high for this follow-up. Happily, we can confirm that Yam Who and company have once again nailed the brief. As with its predecessor, the 23-track set offers up a scintillating, soulful mixture of bumpin' gospel house (see Redsoul's superb "Born Again" and DJ Spen's bass-heavy tweak of Boorman's "God's Got It"), righteous disco-house (the Showfa, Alan Dixon, the piano-heavy stomp of Yam Who's "Tomorrow"), synth-laden gospel boogie (Dr Packer, Yam Who's tidy revision of Andre Esput's "Call Me"), breezy sing-alongs (Lux Experience) and plenty of dusty disco, electrofunk soul rearrangements (Divine Situation, Sweet Jubilees, Phil Jaimes). In other words, it's another essential collection.

Review: Following a fine retrospective of "original productions and reworks" earlier in the month, the Rare Wiri label has prepped another killer compilation to help mark the imprint's 10th birthday. This time round, boss man Rayko has gathered together some of the label's most potent re-edits. The quality threshold remains impressively high throughout, with highlights including James Rod's chugging and cheery disco-boogie shuffler "So Easy", the dreamy deep house throb of In Flagranti's loopy version of "Walking In The Rain", the sparkling saccharine soul/jazz-funk flex of Yam Who's revision of "In Your Eyes" and the pulsating Italo-disco/disco-funk fusion of Ziggy Phunk's take on "One Evening". Throw in a clutch of top-notch Rayko re-edits and the result is an essential collection of floor-focused reworks.

Review: Given the success of their previous joint single on Z Records, "Grateful", we know that Yam Who, Jacqui George and Jaegerossa are natural collaborators. Predictably, they've hit the mark again with this heavy, peak-time ready cover of Francine McGhee disco classic "Delirium". They've replicated many of the original's most potent features - think jammed-out electric piano riffs, heady vocals and wild synth solos - whilst updating it a little for house-centric contemporary dancefloors. The accompanying remixes are rather good, too. First, '80s Child and Ruff Diamond offer up a warmer, looser and breezier disco revision that adds a little more synth-heavy electrofunk flabvour, before Danny Russell and Ronald Christoph brilliantly strip the track back and emphasize the killer bassline on a superb disco-house take.

Review: Re-edit veterans Yam Who? team up with Preston soulful/disco-house duo Jaegerossa for this EP on Dave Lee's Z Records label, with two mixes of 'Grateful' on offer. The Original is quite a happy-clappy affair, sporting a gospel chorus and a lead vocal from Jacqui George while brass and strings help to keep the energy up. The accompanying Tweaked Mix isn't hugely different, truth be told, but does strip the sound palette back a little to let the percussion shine through. Expect to be hearing this a lot in the specialist soulful house clubs for the next little while...
