Main men at Swedish House outlet Local Talk, Mad Mats and Tooli, continue with their super solid run of consistently high-grade offerings. Rolling since 2011, and more than 200 release deep, these guys continue to reliably deliver the goods from some of the hottest talent on the scene.
This collection delivers many treats from the diverse production wizard that is Opolopo. With a career that spans a double decade, and a musical voyage like no other, he is one of Scandinavia’s most prized exports. Infected with the funk virus in his early years, his sets span from funk, boogie, and soul to various shades of house, from sweaty, stripped down and dirty, to uplifting and lush, all unified by his worship of the groove. His releases have been on Local Talk, JVC Japan, Z Records, Om Records, Warner Brothers, Tru Thoughts, Sony/BMG, Defected, Tokyo Dawn Records and Especial Records, he has collaborated with Gregory Porter, Omar, Shaun Escoffery, Azymuth, Dazz Band, Mr. V, Leroy Burgess and many more.
After a series of singles and his 2020 album ‘Sickla’, Opolopo returns to Local Talk with a rework collection where he was given free reign, to 'tweak' his personal faves from the Local Talk vaults. Over these 10 tracks, Opolopo tweaks cuts from Jamie 3:26 & Masalo, the late great Soulphiction, Kiko Navarro, DirtyTwo and Soul Renegades. As always, the soul is ever-present. Musically you'll find it all, from deep house, to disco, to jazzy beats and electronica. Opolopo lays down his trademark sound and infectious grooves, with additional production tweaks and arrangements to deliver this monster package.
