Four standout tracks plucked from the ISM vaults for this 12” Futurism sampler. On the A Ron Basejam gives a late-night twist to Alena – Changes, before Yam Who? teams up with the vocal talents of Natasha Watts for a modern-day interpretation of the Sha-Lor classic, ‘I’m In Love’.

On the flip side, PBR Streetgang aka Bonar Bradbury and Tom Thorpe go full funk with their stomper ‘J2ThaB’. Closing out the EP, Brothers Young let loose ‘Inferno’ featuring NY City's Brother of poetic license, D-Ham, whose narration takes listeners on a journey from back in the day when NYC’s underground scene consisted of merely a blue light, a basement and a feeling.

A1 - Bad Times - Yam Who? Remix
A2 - Bad Times
B1 - You Must Be The Girl
B2 - Bionic Lover

Back in February Risk Assessment hit the headlines via a high-profile outing on Glitterbox Recordings that proved the fast-rising artist's ability to create fresh and funky revivalist disco-boogie jams. This four-track missive on Midnight Riot showcases the producer's re-edit skills.

No messing around, "Bad Times" is an '80s wonder dripping with sleazed up synthwork. Yam Who? straps it to a rocket and fires it into the stratosphere with those punchy basslines and beefed up percussive hits that knock you straight for six.

On the B side "You Must Be The Girl" powers through, with Risk Assessment turning a colourful early '80s synth-disco jam into an attractive, tooled-up disco-house romp. "Bionic Lover" closes out proceedings with a house style revision of another low-slung, guitar-laden chunk of disco-rock funkiness.

After the shift of consciousness in 2012, generations collided as Charlie and Eli from Soul Clap made contact with another very special duo; Chuck “Da Fonk” Fishman and Sa’D “The Hourchild” Ali. Chuck and Sa’D are one tentacle of the cosmic octopus which is the world of George Clinton / Parliament-Funkadelic.
This vitally important limb touches down in the worlds of Funk, Rock and R&B but also into Disco, House and the electronic beyond. Together with a roster of collaborators including Grammy-nominated producer G Koop, original Funkadelic bass player Billy “Bass” Nelson, Talking Heads and Sting vocalist Dolette McDonald, Midnight Magic’s Morgan Wiley, Philadelphia’s One Era and Michael The Lion, Angeleno Oz “Ozgood” McGuire, Bostonian Chas Bronz, Jamacalian David Marston and more, a supergroup of producers was established representing Funk, Style and Quality better known as FSQ! Lead by the mind of Chuck Fishman the FSQ remixes and reworks have always gone above and beyond.
Soul Clap launched the group in 2014 with the FSQ debut EP, “Zulu Congo Call” which got 9/10 in Mixmag and DJ Mag. Their remix work for other artists can be found across a variety of labels?—?Midnight Riot Records, Jalapeno Records, Wolf + Lamb, Bastard Jazz and many other dance music indies. Their full length album will be released in the winter of 2019 on Soul Clap Records.
Sa’d “The Hourchild” Ali unfortunately passed away in the early summer of 2018. “The Remix Special” an album compilation of unreleased FSQ remixes of their Soul Clap Records label mates was released in Sa’d’s honor with all proceeds going to his family.
