Garage and Breaks 2

My track from @torrexvi 's Attack/Decay/Sustain Vol 1 (out now), probably my favourite breakbeat rave tune I have done! A winding, shifting take on '93 darkside. The rest of the compilation is incredible so do please check it out!

"Then it split and both halves lost something as a result. The more the tentacles extended and branched out, the more each limb solidified. Once vital and hungry, formula ate away at risk and intuition.
But that never happened.
Cynicism was never allowed to form. The tendrils kept growing, each extension Weaving in and out of itself. Individual in shape yet sharing the same function.
It was as if the seeds that were first planted were allowed to take hold and in turn, we were given voice."

Weighing in with more of the deadly payloads that make systems weep, Alan Johnson return to Sneaker Social Club to finish what they started on 2022's The Stillness EP.

Gareth and Tom's sharp instinct for the fundamentals of crushing half-step pressure remain undiminished on this latest EP. Their sound palette reaches across contrasting strands of music culture, and every bar is teeming with micro details of sound design which give the tracks a living, breathing quality.

GTEP04 excitingly welcomes german producer Kid Kun to Ghosttown Records. These three productions beautifully display Kid Kun´s personal take on modern, UK schooled techno hybridity. “Creep” introduces the listener to an industrial soundscape, spiced by eerie vocal chops. It’s undeniably dark, but powerfully driving energy continues to evolve with “Recharge” whose grimy claps fuse with thundering basslines. “Saturn”, finally, takes Kid Kuns sound to the faster paced realms where it hypnotically nods at DnB infused steppers. To round off the EP in style, Berlin based Cocktail Party Effect takes on “Creep” and transforms it into the ultimate uptempo roller. All through, a powerful display of high-end dancefloor-tools. GTEP04 is out 24th of May via Ghosttown Records.

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.

Something a bit more modern with this track im a big lover of UKG if you couldn't tell already.. It kind of has an almost Jump Up feel to it in how it switches between the intro and the drop, love how this one sounds hope you do too!

L-Side continues his recent run of form linking up with old friend of the label, and legendary UK MC, MC Fats. They struck gold with their first collaboration 'High Times' taken from L-Side's debut LP Carnal Minds, and they've done it again with this new cut 'Steppa Dub'. A proper dubwise selection with vibes for miles, this track is the perfect lockdown antidote, and is guaranteed to be bubbling all summer long!
