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.

Tracklist:
01. Ruffneck
02. The Page
03. Sapporo Drums
04. Angles

INTHEPLACE

For this week’s Friday Techno Drop, I created something a little more introspective.
"DUALITY" is an emotional ride—carried by lush synths, cosmic textures, and a warm, reflective tone that unfolds across two distinct halves.

The first half leans into a dreamy break beat groove, spacious and atmospheric, with acid-laced touches weaving through the mix. As the track progresses, it morphs into a powerful 4/4 techno pulse—grounded, hypnotic, and deeply expressive.

I hope everybody enjoys it on their way to the weekend, big hug from _DR_REIN🪐🖤

DUALITY

my next record is out now on hessle audio, buy link above :) i'm too hype i can't even come up with a normal caption so i'm just gonna copy the blurb:

Anz makes her Hessle Audio debut with a club-ready three track EP, following releases on the label by Pearson Sound and Pangaea in July. Lead track 'Loos In Twos (NRG)' goes turbo, with a ruffneck bassline, clattering breakbeats and dramatic rave stab breakdowns all combining to memorable, killer effect. On the B side, 'Gary Mission' gets loose with disorientating flanged FX and a wriggling low end, with the minimal beat track 'Stepper' using sharp vocal snippets and chest-rattling sub to light up the dance. Anz is a DJ and Producer based in Manchester (via London, Liverpool and Madrid). Renowned for her genre-spanning productions and mixes, she unearths the links between Electro, UK Garage, Jungle and more, underpinning a versatile take on contemporary UK club music that is as bright as it is unpredictable....
