Review: Label co-founder Mad Mats is at the wheel of this handy 'introduction to the soulful side of Local Talk', as the collection's subtitle puts it. While much of the label's catalogue is imbued with some level of soulfulness, the tracks showcased here are particularly righteous, emotive and life-affirming. It oozes soul from start to finish, with the many highlights including (but in no way limited to), the sun-soaked, Latin-fired soulful house shuffle of Coflo and Lee Wilson's 'Fool For You', the early Mood II Swing style warmth of 'Daydreaming' by Claes Rosen, the gospel-fired drowsiness of Art of Tones ('The Same Thing'), the energy-packed piano house motifs of Emvee's 'Gotta Work' and a fine New Jersey garage-goes-deep house revision of Soul Renegades' 'Speak To Me' courtesy of OPOLOPO.

Review: As the title suggests, Local Talk's latest compilation showcases some of the best remixes and alternate versions nestling in the Swedish label's bulging archives. A quick glance at the track listing confirms the presence of some serious studio talent, with Atjazz, Kai Alice and Kaytronik amongst those supplying superb re-rubs in their own distinct styles. Highlights include, but are not limited to, Alexader Lay-Far's bustling and fuzzy rework of his own collaboration with Ashley Beedle and Darren Morris ("Slope"), Glenn Underground's wonderfully positive and musically expansive deep house rub of Kiko Navarro's "Nea Kemeni" and Basic Soul Unit's thrillingly stab-heavy "Basement remix" of Kyodai's "Moving" - a prime slice of early morning sleaze that's been a little overlooked since it appeared a few years back.

Review: Swedish DJ/producer Claes Rosen is no newcomer to Local Talk, having first appeared on Mad Mats and Tooli's label back in 2013. This belated second outing is arguably the most summery deep house track you'll hear all winter. Full of dreamy vocal samples, sun-kissed chord progressions, tumbling electronics and Midday-bright synth flourishes, "Kvasten I Hoernet" feels like the audio equivalent of being gently massaged while sunbathing. It doesn't feel like it particularly needs remixing, but the accompanying Needs Remix - deeper, dreamier, a little more soulful, and shot through with the bass-heavy warmth of Landslide style 'future garage' - is equally as impressive as Rosen's original. For those who need intro drums to mix with, Rosen has also included an 'Extended DJ Edit'.

Review: Johan Cederberg, or otherwise known as HNNY (and strictly pronounced "honey"!), is Sweden's new house don and he's been at the forefront of Local Talk's impressive run of form as of late. For this latest release, Local Talk has put together nine edits by the man himself, all loosely based around the old-school Chicago house sound. You got slick, modernised edits of none other than Dj Steak, DJ Duke, Purple Velvet and Lee Webster, among others. In a nutshell, this is simply a bundle of great dance floor tracks, effective as either DJ tools or as stand-alone songs. Large up!

Review: It's a sign of the ludicrously prolific nature of Mad Mats and Tooli's Local Talk imprint that this is their third compilation of label highlights this year. That the quality threshold remains impressively high is credit to their A&R skills. Encompassing revivalist US garage, twinkle-eyed deep house and enveloping groovery, Talking House Volume 3 is packed full of distinctive dancefloor highlights. Check, for example, the fearsome acid tweakery of Anaxander's breathless "My Aniseed Lollipop", the wide-eyed, piano-laden rush of Deep Space Orchestra's brilliant remix of The True Rebels' "Bitter Love", and the baggy, organ-heavy samba-house warmth of Tommy Rawson's "Don't Lose It". And that's just for starters. In a word: essential.

Review: Cheeky little two tracker here, courtesy of Swedish nu-house label Local Talk. "Daydreaming" is your classic mid-90s smooth house: sleek and silvery with a warm organ riff and slick female vocal (not a million miles away from Closer Than Close). Meanwhile "Wonderful" is a perkier affair; all fizzy bleeps, speed garage beats and watery synth pads. Guaranteed to pack a floor.
