London-based Midnight Riot was founded in 2012 by DJ and producer Yam Who?. With sparkling releases from the likes of Soul Clap, Rayko, Alan Dixon, Dr Packer, Chewy Rubs, AMP Fiddler, 80s Child and Joutro Mundo, Midnight Riot have an extensive collection of album compilations and EPs centred around starlight nu-boogie, disco and house. ISM Records is Midnight Riot’s parent label, together with sub-labels Black Riot and Riot Records.
Review: Italian producer Da Lukas has released music on some significant and/or well-known labels in the past - think Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi, Strictly Rhythm and Re-Loved. He received plenty of praise too for his first appearance on Midnight Riot earlier in the year, and here returns to Yam Who's imprint with two more tooled-up peak-time workouts. Opener "Groove On" sees him successfully add bouncy but beefy beats, filter effects and various disco-house production techniques to Reuben Wilson funk classic "Got To Get Your Own". Meanwhile, "In A Disco" is little less than a celebratory disco-house romp built around the variously throbbing, life-affirming and over-the-top elements of a stone-cold disco classic.
