Local Groove Ireland Vinyl & CDs

Review: Pressed to a short run of 300, this first 12” from Local Groove pulls four edits targeted for late-night selectors. Among them, ‘Sit Yourself Down’ leans into loose-limbed funk and warm disco bounce, locking a dusty groove under clipped vocals and snappy percussion. It’s one of the first tastes of what the Liverpool-based label has billed a no-frills approach, rooted in time-eased cratebugging sensibilities. Each record is hand-numbered and stamped with Disco Stu Metal Man, the label’s lo-fi mascot, evidencing a DIY ethos that cuts through the polish. No digital fluff, just straight-up edits pressure.
