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 ;)

The first release 'The music made me do it' is a deep and jackin' spoken word house jam with the mighty Javonntte providing the vocals, this is the dub, something you need to hear and play out loud.

This is a mix you want to play from the very beginning until the end. Not only is it filled with stellar tracks, it's also done with that special touch only Ralph knows. It is our big pleasure to have him on board. 

Make sure you check out the latest release from Ralph on Local Talk, Brooklyn Heavy Hitters and give him a follow at @ralphsession

Ghent's finest, Pascal Garnier aka Krewcial comes with his debut on Local Talk and it's not your average outing. Normally his productions land somewhere in the disco and soulful house, but this time around we're served a combo of live jazz (yes, with real musicians) and synchronized house rhythms.and it's the real deal!

Elaboritz is a deeper house affair with lush fender chords and vibraphones topped with some lush flute action.

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.

Keep On

Ralph Session - Keep On [Local Talk]

Subsonique is renowned German music producer Frank Lotz who began his career in the early 90s.

With a passion for electronic music and house, Frank started producing his own tracks and quickly gained recognition in the music scene. His talent and creative versatility afforded him the opportunity to work on numerous international productions.

Over the past two decades, Subsonique has primarily focused on producing hip-hop beats, collaborating with some of the most prominent artists in the scene. His innovative beats and unique style have left a lasting impact on the hip-hop landscape, making him a sought-after producer.

Despite his success in hip-hop, Subsonique recently returned to his roots in the house genre. Serving as the main producer on the esteemed house label Sense Music, he is once again in his right element, injecting fresh energy into the electronic music scene. His return to house underscores his artistic versatility and ongoing pursuit of musical innovation.

Keep Your Sound Raw EP is an EP that sounds like it was part of the first wave of Local Talk releases, it's touches on both vintage house and flirts with garage, there's layers of chords and melodies creating an uplifting and positive feel. Subsonique + Local Talk = HOUSE.

Chesus - You're So Special (Jacques Renault Edit)

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.
