Local Talk now get their mits on 'Let It Go' - a delightfull four tracker of beatdown house, dizzy broken beats and lashings of boogie-soul.

Cover of Sum Luv / Styrax - Inc. Zed Bias Remixes by Envee.

Sum Luv / Styrax - Inc. Zed Bias Remixes

Local Talk

Hot action from the ever-present Local Talk label, there 136th release for those counting!

Bit of a coup this one as it comes backed with two remixes from MCR garage pioneer Zed Bias, which we'll cover shortly.

"Sum Luv" is a dreamy downtempo soul number; with rising keyboard lines, bumpety (upright?) bass, tastefully Rhodes chords and boom-bap live drums. Jazzy, languid, soulful - all the characteristics for a mid-afternoon jam. Zed is on hand to inject energy and urgency, utilizing the keyboard and Rhodes parts beautifully as he deploys a trademark two-step beat, gliding bass tones and gets busy on the filters. Still retaining the highly soulful edge but guaranteeing plenty of hip n butt action in the process. Mega jam.

"Styrax" on the flip is a more broken beats flavoured number; with the drummer givin it some across multicoloured arrays of dazlzing synthesizer; before another winning vocal part soars in. This one didn't need much energizing, but Zed playfully electrfies those broken beat elements, giving the funky syncopation between the elements but making the whole thing bite harder across the speaker stacks; with that all important weighty bottom end.

Tasteful summer soul with a garage twist? Check!





STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Came for the street soul and broken beats indebted originals? Then stay for the flexin' Zed Bias remixes! A highly functional EP that carers for varying energy levels and moods whilst shining a light on the allusive Envee.

Cover of Love's Gonna Get You by Timothee Milton Feat. Angela Johnson.

Timothee Milton Feat. Angela Johnson

Love's Gonna Get You

Local Talk

French producer Timothee Milton debuts on Local Talk with a killer EP that fuses electronic rhythms and soulful vocals in a way that's typical of the long standing label. Written by Angela Johnson, "Love's Gonna Get you" is a deep but big room, vocal house jam that's got some hints of the 90s Jersey sound about it as well as subtly being a bit of a voguing anthem on the sly.

To give the package an extra edge, deep house connoisseur Hugo LX and boogie-house maestro Art Of Tones are enlisted for remixes. The former strips things back to a more delicate groove; aquaplaning syths and pads all combining with the gently shaking perx to create a more sublime and serene version of the OG. The Art Of Tones remix is equally strong but goes for a more uplifting approach and puts the funk, boogie and soul front & center, with live sounding disco drums and a much more organic palette guiding proceedings. Top stuff as always from the Local Talk mob! 


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Soulful, sun-flecked house music from the unstoppable Local Talk camp. Three different takes on this catchy track ranging from disco, voguey house and a skitty, deep house twist.

Local Talk - 13 Years Later Album Sampler

Local Talk

"We've now been at this since 2010 and over the years we've really tried to deliver the kind of house music (and beyond) that we would play, listen and dance to ourselves. We really tried to avoid the dangerous traps of following trends which in the long run can water down labels to just a music portal instead of a music brand with character.
Basically, we aim to deliver our own musical personality via artists and producers that we love and respect. To sum things up, we are proud to present ‘Local Talk - 13 Years Later’.

Hard to believe 13 years of soulful grooves, jazzy house and funky broken beats have passed through the pressing plants of Local Talk. Proudly long serving and independent with a justifiable loyal following. Ahead of a full compilation we get four exclusive tracks that’ll you’ll only find on this 12” sampler. From the tumbling beats and bright pianos of “Real Change” by Soul Renegades to the moody organs and squelchy bass of Nico Lahs “Happenstance” via the swirling deep house of “Light Years Away” (Wipe The Needle) and frenetic high speed jazz of The James L'Estraunge Orchestra’s “Broken Spells” - it’s a thoroughly Local Talk flavoured affair throughout. Recommended. 


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Local Talk celebrate thirteen years in the business with a various artists EP showcasing their current, highly skilled roster. It's jazzy house fusion all the way as the team deploy the LT patented blends of spacey keys, swung drums and live instrumentation. A winning formula that's kept the label at the front of the more tasteful disc jocks across the world for well over a decade.

Cover of Live @ BIX by Soulphiction With Netzer.

Soulphiction With Netzer

Live @ BIX

Local Talk

Local Talk present a live recording with Soulphiction & Netzer from 2018, recorded live just a month before the official release of "Bizzness" the first of several releases Soulphiction and Local Talk released together.

"Bizzness" is by many considered a classic and had all the trade marks of a Soulphiction tune with its dusty soul and funk-infused house ingredients.
This live version really shows the vision and forward thinking of Michel Baumann using his Soulphiction moniker.

Also included on this release is a - as far as we know it - unreleased track called "Dileila Emergency Dub".

A track built around a heady deep house theme that captures the sweaty, back-in-the-day feel we all love to hear in a track.

Cover of Short Circuit / Bird's Eye View by Shaka.

Shaka

Short Circuit / Bird's Eye View

Local Talk

Shaka is back on Local Talk with a follow-up to "The Riverwalk EP" released back in 2020. "The Bird's Eye View" continues on the same deep, soulful and uplifting house tip with waves fluttery elation and positivity flooding these fresh tracks.

There's a genuine swing to the opening track "Short Circuit" that is infectious and Shaka really gets to work on those keys - a proper Local Talk jam - no one does it better! It brings back memories of those golden years of house music when every track Strictly Rhythm classic was a classic...

"The Birds Eye View" offers a deeper and jazzier spin on the lush and spiritual house music Shaka flirts with. Again, there's an air of elevation; thoughtfully curated instrumentation and a rich musicality to this offering; the true roots of house music as an evolution from disco. If delightfully playful music is your secret crush then look no further!


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Housey vibes on Stockholm's Local Talk. Shaka has worked with Mad Mats and Tooli's label previous to this; but I think "Short Circuit" pips "Theme From The Riverwalk" just slightly - a rich and technicoloured canter that should ignite any warm up session.
