In Your Hands (demo)

Lets Boogie

Another recording from my Friday night residency in Shortts Bar's The Terrace. Usual Friday night party vibes, loads of oldies with a few new bits through out!

Groove @ The Terrace w/Jay Ru 15.9.2017

Another Night

Lovin U

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.

Say You Love Me, Girl!

Can't remember exactly when this was recorded but it was the last purely vinyl mix i recorded for many many years, so basically i was recorded the sometime the same year Serato Scratch Live was release! Hip Hop vibe all the thru with the slightest bit of r&b and soul sprinkled in! One particular "touring" Irish dj like the mix so much he brought it around with time and used it as his warm up set!!!! :)

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!

PLAY LOUD!
