Bait’s second VEP (Various EP) is a 4-track dive into a rather modern phenomenon: 150 dubstep, as DJs and crowds seem to be enjoying the faster bass sounds, yet broken rhythms and heavy halftime pulses. For this release, we’ve got L.A.’s rising bass-music talent Carré, who specialised in racing wobblers, and recently released her debut solo EP on her label FAW (Fast at Work). Track 2 is by UK-born Berlin-based Formella. This is the Femme Bass Mafia member’s first-ever release. The Third track is by Fast Castle label captain Gent1le $oul, also Berlin-based and pushing hybrid dubstep in the German capital with hot vinyl releases and parties. Last but not least, SPLT’s mental banger “Grill Party” that Beatrice M. happened to discover in Laksa’s Truant podcast and reached out after dropping an “ID?” comment on SoundCloud. The Lyon-based producer never misses, his tracks have been played out multiple times by Garçon and Agonis, in the continuity of merging bass and techno.

PREMIERE: Formella - dripstep (Bait)

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.

Ruffneck

Yas Reven takes charge of the next release on Nerve Collect with her Sudden Mist EP. It features five tracks of avant-garde club music and comes with a 3Phaz remix.

Italian-born innovator Yas Reven is based in Milan and has a love of architecture that inspires how she structures her sophisticated sounds. As a dynamic DJ, she traverses a full spectrum from techno and bass music to breakbeat and has recently put out her first productions on Bristol-based label Hardline. After that EP turned plenty of heads, she now backs it up with more thrilling and hard-to-define club cuts.

The EP opens up with 'Sudden Mist', Reven's knack for expert percussive designs shines through as tin pot hits, splintered wood and metal throngs all pepper a loopy techno rhythm. It's intense yet serene, physical yet meditative. 'Etoy' keeps the pressure on with more intriguing sound designs, thumping bass and lurching techno loops that never stop evolving and keep you utterly locked in. 'Mad Drop' is a futuristic blend of whirring loops and twanging synth sounds over hammering broken beats that lead to dance floor takeoff.

'Trapped' is another collision of unusual percussion layered over tightly stacked beats with a ritualistic and tribal edge...  more

After a long break from the solitude, I went out partying with friends in Dubai. In the middle of our jam session, inspiration struck and I drifted away into my own zone. This track was born and completed in just one hour.

Dreaming

Origin One is my debut album – a journey through hypnotic melodic techno and driving tech house. Deep kicks, heavy rolling basslines, and atmospheric layers merge with robotic vocal textures to create a soundscape built for both underground clubs and big Ibiza stages. From emotional, dreamy buildups to harder, peak-time drops, each track captures a unique moment on the dancefloor and invites you to lose yourself in the flow.
