DA favorit, Ken@Work, makes a triumphant return to this blog with a laid back, yet rather crunchy track out on Ben Banjo Field’s The Discography Lessons, a label with a firm hold on disco and re-edits, but also on Mental Health challenges, to which it donates 10 % of it’s profits. How cool is that?
Everybody (Hold On) is Ken@Work in his purest form — no detours, no indulgence, just that unflinching sense of purpose that understands exactly what a room needs before it knows it itself. Built for that early-evening turning point, when glasses are still half full and conversations louder than the speakers, it moves with quiet authority.
There’s no grandstanding here. Just a steady, persuasive pulse that sidles up to the bar crowd — the chitty-chatty, the casually committed — and gently, almost mischievously, pulls them away from their perches. Before they’ve quite realised it, they’re no longer talking about dancing. They’re doing it.
