Making a strong debut on Local Talk, here comes Don Kamares (known for his amazing Legacy track on Yoruba) and the notorious MC Stan Smith out of Atlanta, USA. Together they serve up a killer spoken word house jam entitled UNWU (U Not With Us) which lyrically is all about those fake peeps trying to be something they’re not. It’s basically a classic (house) diss jam ;)

Rawson and Jackson are back on Local Talk with a release that offers a perfect interlude to the summer. With warm melodic chords and thumping house rhythms, it's a great soundtrack for early night sessions. People Pleaser got a slight boogie feel that got a direct appeal (hence the title).

Sohan Wilson debuts with a full EP after the amazing track "Come Back To Me" with Alex Attias that was part of our Local Talk 13 Years. Before that we've enjoyed his music as part of Keys Of Lynx and also his album 'Love Is The Key on Visions Recordings.

His love for jazz and soul has always played a key part in his productions and his ability to take things a bit further and make the tracks feel like jam sessions make his track special.

It really feels like we (aka Mad Mats & Tooli) been around way longer than 5 ½ years with Local Talk but its really true what they say, time flies when you’re having fun! From what started as a somewhat simple and almost primitive urge to create a small house imprint has now grown into a much bigger affair. We really tried hard to keep the label from getting stuck in any genre (remember 90s house?) and to always keep the Local Talk relevant, curious, diverse and with a healthy dose of underground mentality.

From our very first release with Bassfort’s excellent “Moon Shadow” in the summer of 2011 we had a crystal clear vision of what Local Talk should represent…house music in any way, shape or form! Over the years we released soulful, disco, jack, afro, vocal, deep, jazz, tech, latin, old school, acid, UK, Berlin, New Jersey, Detroit and of course Chicago inspired house music. If it made us bump…we put it out!

This brings us up to today and about +80 releases later. We thought about how we best could sum up these first 5 ½ years and immediately the image of Blaze classic album “25 Years Later” popped up. Besides the fact that its an amazing album cover it also a good representation when different musical genres fuse together. Its not strictly a house album but just as well a r&b, reggae and soul album. This fusion and variation of house sounds is something that we’ve tried to capture on our “5 ½ Years Later” compilation, split into two parts.

On part 1 you’ll find a dark bass-line driven house jam from Art Of Tones (check the mad sax!), a proper deep journey jam from NYCs DJ Spinna, a Blaze homage with that classic New Jersey sound from Sean McCabe, a bumpy world/jazz inspired cut straight outta Brescia from wonder kid Corrado Bucci.
