Review: Local Action make a shimmering return on this one alongside the emotive melodies and sound design of Orlando's debut self titled album. As a showcase of the artist it's fantastic, exploring deep into the producer's musical ideals and thought process. One of the standout tracks has the be the beautiful collaboration with Buscabulla named 'Friends Or Lovers' which is an embrace of breathy vocal melodies and glistening arpeggiators. Other highlights include the smoothly designed horizons of 'Cityscape' alongside Octa Octa and of course the high profile dancehall infused team up with Mr Mitch and Yayoyano entitled 'Nasty'. This one really has something for everyone.

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: This year, there has been no one more fundamental to the development of Local Action than the prodigious, and extremely talented Erskine Lynas. Lynas is based in Aberdeen, and was only recently churning out future-grime frameworks across the scene; this new step into the vast, bottomless pit of Balearic electronica is both a refreshing surprise, and utterly impressive given just how damn good he is at crafting the stuff. This new LP, Lease Of Youth, is his third outing for the label, and it offers listeners a chance to cop some pure synth vibes of all shapes and sizes. "Feather Fall" and "Craiger Caught The Sleeper" open with sweet, poopy vibes backed by subtle house rhythms, but the album soon precipitates into much looser, abstract notions of electronic dance. Form the bouncy waves of "New Concrete" to the gentle ambience of "Forever Rain", the one consistent factor is Lynas' own voice, riding majestically along a river of endless euphoria.

Review: Deadboy will release his debut album Earth Body. Eight years into a varied career, the UK born, Montreal-based producer has made everything from R&B-sampling club tracks to ambient music since his debut in 2009. According to Local Action his first LP is a pop record inspired by Scott Walker, Sade, Drake and the Beach Boys, "filled with bold choruses and multi-tracked harmonies." The album was written and recorded during a Montreal winter, using his own vocals for a change, rather than using sampled ones on this brazenly pop inflected outing that is a noticeable departure from his previous work.

Review: DJ Jayhood is one of the most important producers from the second generation of Jersey Club. A regional form of dance music that evolved from Baltimore Club after artists like DJ Tameil started putting their own twists on 'B-more' drum breaks and kick patterns, it is is one of the most influential and imitated dance styles in the world today. Although he's not received the same international DJ bookings as some of his peers, DJ Jayhood is one of the most respected and popular artists in and outside of the state. He's also built a successful sideline as a rapper and hip-hop/r&b producer through his production work for Sharaya J and Missy Elliott, and coined his own sub-genre of Jersey Club called Booty Bounce Music.

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. Tip!

Review: Brooklyn darksmith Lil Jabba returns with his second full-lengther and the title says it all... Grotto. Not the type where Santa sits around and orders elves to do his dirty work, but the type where the walls drip with sonic slime and it's so dark there are no shadows. Some say you can hear the crunch of bones underfoot on the title track, some say you can hear the echoes of your unfulfilled dreams in the breakbeat ricochets on "Cave Painting", some say the chimes on "Hazy Ox" are made rattling chains, some say the deep background gurgling textures on "Solem" are made from Jabba's empty stomach as he continuously lurks in his grotto penning incredibly soundscapes and never stops to eat. Some say the whole album is haunted. We say the whole album is incredible.

Review: Local Action is surely up there now with the cream of the crop in terms of UK labels, and what makes them stand out the most is their penchant for finding and pushing new talent. TAM is up on here this week, bursting through the place with four delightful slices of wonky deep house and synthy bass rhythms. "Esther" is a wonderful little melodic experiment, while "Fifth Of Lust" is a bonkers house sketch work with plenty a hint of garage at its core. "September's Silk" is more of a classic house joint in Chicago style, and "16.30 Sweat" pounces its boomy kick drum over sublime electro-disco chops and hard-hitting snares. Big.

Review: Brooklyn producer Lil Jabba has already popped up on Local Action once before, and it makes sense seeing as his limber sound tips its hat to Night Slugs futurism while also being rooted firmly in the US footwork style of rhythmic delivery. It's playful stuff, from the cheeky keyboard breakdown section of "Stalka" to the madcap jazz and funk samples flitting around razor sharp construction "Dusty". "Skates" shows off Jabba's diversity with a slower, more atmospheric piece, and "Tea" takes things even further into introspection, but there's also space for faster material such as the rigid junglisms of the beat programming on "Silencer". All the way through though the EP is made consistent thanks to the glassy, beautifully realised synth lines and keen deployment of melodies.

Review: This debut album from London-based producer Yamaneko represents something of an adventurous move for Local Action, as he offers up some alternative stances upon which grime influences can be posited. The likes of "Slew Wave" may swagger with the appropriate level of attitude, but even in these moments a mystical energy floats behind the rude percussion. Elsewhere the beats are eschewed altogether in favour of floatation tank ambience, or at the very least pushed to the back of the pecking order to let the wistful synth styles drift to the fore. It's a diverse album held together by its plush digital sound palette, with enough facets to appeal to a whole host of different sonic explorers.

Review: There has been no shortage of bright and bold crossover styles from Slackk over the past four years, with impressive bouts for Numbers, Unknown To The Unknown and Diskotopia marking his work out in that jagged, synth-rich space alongside Rustie, Hudson Mohawke and the Night Slugs posse. Now, having spent some time getting cosy with Local Action, he offers the label his debut album and takes the chance to drop no less than sixteen new takes on his grime-infused musicality with barely a filler or interlude in sight. While the tempos and rhythms may shift, the atmosphere remains consistently in that alien space somewhere out ahead of us, part video game fantasy and part urban uncertainty.
