Local Talk

Fueled by a shared passion for house music, Local Talk emerged onto the scene in early 2011. The driving force behind the label is the powerhouse duo of Mad Mats (renowned DJ and club promoter of Raw Fusion/GAMM) and Tooli (celebrated DJ from Stockholm's nightlife, known for his acclaimed 24:HRS parties and blog). Local Talk serves as their platform to champion their deep love for the genre.

No Tears - (4:33) 119 BPM
Review: Johan Cederberg has enjoyed a productive year under his HNNY alias, dropping a trio of hush-hush 12" singles on Puss, as well as further acclaimed singles for Let's Play House and Local Talk. Here he returns to the latter with "Tears", arguably his strongest release of the year. The title track is deep, evocative and emotion-rich, offering up a sublime mixture of heart-aching vocal samples, unfussy, US garage-influenced beats and tactile electric pianos. It's subdued but rush inducing, prone to bringing grown men to tears (fittingly, we suppose). There's a woozier, deeper dub in the shape of "No Tears", while "Gymnastics" sees him impressively trotting off towards arms-raised disco territory. Not disco house, mind, just good, honest, string-laden disco.

Yearning EP
Yearning - (5:37) 120 BPM
For The Very First Time (Dirtytwo's Midas Touch version) - (7:56) 118 BPM Hot
For The Very First Time (Dirtytwo's Midas Beatless version) - (6:30) 118 BPM
Review: Rising Swedish house producer HNNY scored one of last year's most ubiquitous cuts in the shape of "For The Very First Time" which appeared on his debut EP of the same name for Mad Mats' unstoppable Local Talk label. Yearning marks HNNY's long overdue Local Talk return and features yet another immediately infectious production from the Stockholm-based producer's armoury along with a superlative remix of his aforementioned hit. As soon as those warm keys wrap around the loose rhythms of "Yearning" you get an sense that HNNY knows how to craft a house production and the subtle vocal hook that comes swooping in will undoubtedly cause requisite chaos. On the remix tip, Local Talk's secret weapon Dirtytwo gets his 80s electro funk on for a blinding rendition of "For The Very First Time". Tiger & Woods would be proud of this one.

For The Very First Time EP
For The Very First Time - (6:45) 119 BPM Hot
Apricots - (4:34) 119 BPM
Trummor - (10:22) 119 BPM
Review: Having come to the fore via some rather divisive edits of Dorian Concept, Steve Reich and Mariah Carey, the Stockholm based producer HNNY serves notice of his capacity for original productions with this rather fine release on the Local Talk label. This fifteenth release for Mad Mats' resolutely deep house operation maintains the standards set by previous emissions, and it's easy to see why opening track "For The Very First Time" has already been embraced by HNNY's former overseers Studio Barnhus. That all too authentic take on the early 90s NYC house sound is a good primer for what to expect from hereon in, with the similar equation of pitched vocal snatches craftily twisted around infectious yet simplistic melodic motifs and thick bass lines also characterising "Apricots". Do check the percussive 10 minute long behemoth that is "Trummor" for an example of what else HNNY can do - an expert DJ tool in the mould of how they used to be done, back in those days.
