Review: Next up, we have a seriously cool collection of treats as the legendary Local Action pull together some of their biggest creations over the last decade to celebrate '10 Years Of Local Action'. Right from the jump, this is a collection littered with top quality artists, including the likes of Finn, Mosca, Terri Walker, T.Williams, DJQ, Slack & many many more. Actually having the opportunity to dive into the Local Action catalogue with all of its many years condensed into one release really does highlight just how creative they have been able to be over the years. We would definitely recommend checking out I. JORDAN 's 'For You' as part of your own personal dive, alongside the gorgeous summer pulses of LOFT's 'Wish It Would Rain' and the outstanding soundscaping work of E.M.M.A's 'Into Indigo' whilst you're at it!
Review: Yamaneko's debut album - 2014's Pixel Wave Embrace became a cult classic - quietly but notably influential on the artists around him and further afield. For his third full length effort on hometown imprint Local Action, the London based producer Joe Moynihan (who has released under the names Talbot Fade and Yaroze Dream Suite with Miles Mitchell) has been combining electronic music with ambient by way of grime, new age cassette music, video game soundtracks and techno. This album follows up last year's colder, less inviting Project Nautilus (Keygen Loops) but is a complete change of perspective. Story has it that earlier in 2017, he was commissioned to create music for a spa in Europe. These commissions eventually developed into a mass of material which formed the basis of this entire album. Here he has created his most blissful, beatless record to date.
Review: Yamaneko's fierce and cavernous bass experimentations for Local Action are given a new, much broader meaning thanks to this new album, the magnificent voyage called Project Nautilus. There's little that the producer doesn't touch upon with this new piece of work, from the quirky bleeps and funky tribalism of "Gala Helipop", to the distorted bass shots of "Accela Crash", and the hollow, spectral grime of "Pink 3", among many others on here, Yamaneko truly stands out from the rest of his contemporary bass peers.
