Local Action

Local Action

Launched by Tom Lea in 2010, Local Action is a London-based independent label that specialises in high-energy, high-emotion electronic music - but with a scope that goes way beyond that, having some of its greatest successes with leftfield international artists like Dawn Richard and Lena Raine.
A decade into operation, it's built an enviable catalogue of classic records, from T. Williams' 'Heartbeat' and DJ Q's 'Brandy & Coke' to recent hits like Finn's 'Sometimes The Going Gets a Little Tough' and India Jordan's 'For You' - and also launched its club-focused sister label 2 B REAL, operated out of Manchester by Finn.

We Better Make A Move - (4:34) 135 BPM
Review: Local Action regular Finn frequently delivers inspired EPs that sit somewhere between dancefloor melancholia and rush-inducing euphoria. This trademark blend of bittersweet bliss once again comes to the fore on his latest release. For proof, check 'A Good Place', where a yearning female vocal sample is contrasted by New Jersey garage organs, sparkling piano riffs and a sparse but impactful house beat. He's at his melancholic, floor-friendly best on 'Getting Off (It's So Good)', where emotive chords and lo-fi lead lines tussle for attention with deep sub-bass and skittish drum machine beats, while 'R U Still Well' is an organ-sporting deep house number that sounds like it needs a hug. To round things off, he ups the tempo on 'We Better Make a Move', which boasts some heady, minor-key chords.

Lifey - (4:09) 125 BPM Hot
Movers - (5:17) 135 BPM
Review: The thing we have come to absolutely love about the Local Action movement is the fact they are never scared to enter in the unknown and explore the more experimental side of dance music. This latest drop is a perfect example of that as the wonderful Shanique Marie links up with the ever-ready Finn for two party starting originals, with the breaks-infused drumlines and shimmering electronic melodies of 'Lifey' catching our ears immediately with its unique makeup! On the flipside we are given 'Movers', another catchy yet extremely original sounding creation in 'Movers', with Finn's shuffling drum work and fluttering pad textures allowing Shanique's vocal to dance above, jumping between patois flows and singalong vocals with relative ease! A truly enjoyable two tracker!

Review: Finn McCorry presents his longest and most complete release yet, a collection 'of six house jams for trying times.' Part of the team behind NTS Manchester, each of the tracks on Sometimes The Going Gets A Little Tough have been thoroughly tested on his monthly show and his B2B series - which has recently seen him play alongside UNiiQU3, Teki Latex and Eclair Fifi and at Manchester's Soup Kitchen club. Finn has crafted his own take on house music, taking aspects from speed garage, grime and hardcore in the UK, to regional club music from the USA. From the feel good, neon-lit, disco inflected house of "Who Is This (It's P)", the French Touch influenced "Give Us A Hand" and the melancholic bounce of "Trying Your Best", its a fabulous EP.

Review: UK pseudo garage hotspot Local Action returns to action with a follow-up EP from the busy bass bee that is Finn. In line with the imprint's general mood, Finn delivers the goods in the form of five diverse club knockers, for all shapes and sizes. Our picks from the bunch gotta be the slithering, stop-start house piece that is "Coming 2 U" - some serious sampling chopping going on there - and the "Finn Theme", a gliding bass anthem in all senses of the word. This is for the UK heads.
