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: For the latest release on his prolific Midnight Riot label, Yam Who has parachuted in special scalpel agents Disco Troopers. The all-action All Night Long EP is a perfect showcase of their style, which blends big disco samples and even larger beats with original electronic elements inspired by acid house and Italo-disco. The EP's headline attraction is undoubtedly opener "All Night Long", which underpins surging orchestral disco samples with heavy analogue bass and crunchy house beats. The strangely familiar "Eleven" sees them expertly blended druggy TB-303 motifs with spacey chords and Italo-disco style arpeggio lines, while "Howlin" is a fuzzy, cosmic disco vocal cut for dancefloors that like their grooves wavy and psychedelic.
