There aren’t enough superlatives to fully explain the year that Yam Who’s Midnight Riot is having in 2020. While the rest of the planet has slipped a gear Midnight Riot have been taking full advantage of the world wide lockdowns to continue to build on their impressive roster. November has been no exception to this rule with tight releases coming from Danny Kane, Lucien, Octavia Lambertis, Sean Scanlan & PAV, DJ Meme and Inaya Day with chart toppers coming from Platinum City courtesy of a sweet Dr Packer remix and volume four of the brilliant Disco Made Me Do It compilation series.

Leroy Burgess – One Plus One (Dave Lee Remix)
[Z Records]
Unearthed after 35 years of going missing, it’s all down to Dave Lee who came across a tape when searching through the Salsoul archive. Containing an unrecognised song called ‘One + One’, he contacted Mr Burgess to ask him if he knew why this had never been released. It turned out that it was recorded in the same sessions as the Leroy smash ‘Heartbreaker’ for an album that never came out but the tape had somehow been lost. Now with three brand new mixes, a full vocal, Dub and reprise, if you’re a Burgess fan this is an essential as it gets.
