At long last the return of Waterfords own Jay Ru, an elusive producer of much acclaim. This EP has been over two years in the making but it’s well worth the wait mixing slow-mo soul gems into clattering hip hop-esque house beats, Such A Long Long Time kicks things off with some classic low slung sampling and deep bass for early doors. Notching things up we have Flippin’ The Bird, some mid tempo funky nu-disco with razor sharp beats and drops before we take it down a tap with Movin’ On, a cowbell clattering blues-house hybrid thats a sure-fire set starter. Finally Sweet Hum brings us to a close with a peak time rubber b-lined collaboration with Hot Digits honcho Fingerman before we head into a monster remix section of the EP. Paul Bryan of Waterford takes Movin’ On into deeper territory with his stunning remix before Fingerman & Chewy Rubs take on Flippin’ The Bird. The guys flip the rolling groove on its head, teasing that latin drop for maximum effect later in the track. Finally another big Waterford producer Stephen Richards of Disco Daze fame delivers a slamming remix of Sweet Hum that makes full use of that awesome bassline!

Lovin U EP

Yam Who's Midnight Riot series continues to impress, delivering tracks that sit somewhere between cheeky re-edits, illicit remixes and original productions. There's much to enjoy on this latest label missive, a four-tracker from Waterford-based disco/electrofunk enthusiast Jay Roche (aka Jay-Ru). "It's Not Over" is a deliciously wide-eyed version of '80s soul fave "It's Over Now" with some neat additional nu-disco and deep house touches, while "Say You Love Me Girl" is a brilliant cut-up edit of a soaring '80s disco jam. "Brown Baby" employs similar MPC-jamming techniques, as well as a killer breakdown and build-up slap bang in the middle. Finally, "It's Tooo Late" [sic] alternates between subdued groovery and grandiose flourishes on a delightful slo-mo disco gem.
