Local Action is very proud to present Rushing 1621, the first EP from a transatlantic meeting of minds and styles from two of our favourite artists: Om Unit and James Bangura. 

Based in Bristol, Om Unit is a titan of UK soundsystem music, pulling footwork, hip-hop, jungle, bass, techno, breaks and more into wild new shapes across an illustrious 15-year plus career.

DC’s James Bangura meanwhile has emerged as one of the most exciting artists on America’s east coast, releasing solo heat on labels like Incienso and !K7 and regularly touring the world as part of the Black Rave Culture collective, drawing from regional club styles across the States. 

The EP’s title Rushing 1621 is a reference to both artists’ area codes, so UK-meets-US synergy is the name of the game here (and if you know Local Action, you probably already know that this sort of thing is our catnip). Garage, house, breaks and even moments that recall early ‘00s proto-dubstep and dub-techno are all present, but really, it’s both artists’ immaculate drums and flawless production that drives this thing. Some records just feel unimpeachable, and this is one.

Label founder Phasmid returns to Taipan with 'Immersions' - a collaborative project that sees him work with a lethal cohort of producers from throughout his international tour.

Four moody, menacing club tracks that fuse mind-warping sound design with standout bass weight.

Porog presents VA – Portal. The debut release brings together Siberian artists from the liminal space known as Tyumen, spanning a wide spectrum of genres — from ambient and drone to IDM and breakbeat.

Set between the cliffs of the Urals and the blizzards of Siberia, between a promised future and a fading past, between the silence of the pine forest and the noise of city life, the album absorbs these extremes and merges them into a singular form.

Porog is a threshold — a state of superposition where every possibility is valid. The first step across it leads into the Portal — the first phase of initiation and transformation.
