Episode 40 – Local Talk

The 40th Episode of Lava Lava saw Barrientos rock the studio solo while DVRS was out sunning, drinking and dancing at The Garden Festival.  In this episode we take a look into the Swedish powerhouse that is Local Talk.  Only 3 years old, the label owners Mad Mats & Tooli set out to share their love of house music by creating a platform for local and global talent to showcase their material while re-releasing gems of house music on their sub-label 1nce Again.

Barrientos set the tone for the Residents Mix by kicking it all of with the brand new track from Isis Salam on Exploited.  From there the Glasgow producer took it all on a journey through some rich and deep techy vibes with some standout cuts from Phil Weeks, Redshape & Joyce Muniz.  We also just cannot get enough of the new Hot Since 82 and Leftwing & Kody remixes so it’s no surprise they were spun in the mix.

Our Top 5 is always a tough choice, with new tracks from Matthais Tanzmann & Hauswerks sounding oh so hot and remixes from Mark Knight & George Fitzgerald hitting the spot they were all in contention for our number 1 spot.  Stealing the show however was the brand new release for Madhouse; Behling & Simpson reworking Kerri Chandlers classic track ‘Heaven‘.
