After a huge feature in October which kept bubbling all month we are very pleased to invite Yam Who? back for his second Disco Juice round up of all that is good in the disco universe. Its been another classic month for Yam Who’s Midnight Riot and Black Riot labels with Carl Cox and Purple Disco Machine spinning label tracks on their streams and a rare socially distanced sold-out gig at Manchester’s Freight Island. Meanwhile Mark Brickman’s Rise hit the top spot on Traxsource and all this on the back of Yam Who’s Remixes And Productions album also getting Traxsource more than a little hot under the collar at the start of the month.

Kenny Lynch – Half The Day Is Gone & We Haven’t Earned A Penny (Ashley Beedle Remix)
[Satril]

What do The Brill Building, Cilla Black, Paul McCartney and the Caister Soul Weekender all have in common? Well it’s the dapper dan Kenny Lynch, the recently deceased UK actor, singer & songwriter. His obscure British boogie classic has been remade by Ashley Beedle who completely rearranges the song with a sparse funky guitar, tight disco beats and glorious piano throughout from wizard Darren Morris, The result is a piece of sunshine that would no doubt put a massive smile on Kenny’s face.
