We’re pumped to welcome Hodge to Local Action with a two-tracker of industrial strength UK Funky – just in time for Summer Anthem status.
We were actually first plotting a release back with Hodge back in 2021, but you can’t rush bangers, and these two turned out absolutely turbo-charged. A-side ‘Tom’s Tweaks’ puts the percussion first, drawing from mid-‘00s tribal house and the heavier side of instrumental Funky – drums please! B-side ‘Let You Know’ meanwhile slows the tempo and ups the slink, brushing ever so slightly up against broken beat and amapiano. When both sides of a record have sirens you know you’re in good hands.
