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

Brisbane collective Apparatus teams up with Wales producer Aloka for a two-track EP born from a few drizzly days in the city. Not exactly what you’d expect when swapping Wales for palm trees, but the rain kept the crew indoors and turned downtime into a writing session. The result is a snapshot of international collaboration in a city that’s been quietly exporting talent, while building its own stubbornly DIY identity at home.
