Local Action

Local Action is a London-based record label formed in 2010 by Tom Lea. The label’s identity is rooted in club music, with a roster that points to a broad but dancefloor-focused outlook rather than a single narrow genre.

Across its releases, Local Action has been associated with artists whose work spans UK club styles and adjacent electronic music. Producers and DJs such as DJ Q and Julio Bashmore reflect the label’s interest in contemporary dance music with strong rhythmic and DJ-oriented priorities, while names like Om Unit and Hodge indicate a willingness to move between different tempos and textures within electronic music. The label has also released music by James Bangura, Ariel Zetina, Jennifer Walton, and Metrist, artists often linked to forward-leaning club sounds and hybrid approaches that sit comfortably in DJ sets.

Local Action’s catalogue and artist associations suggest a label built around practical club utility and a taste for modern electronic production, with releases that can move between bass-heavy tracks, house-leaning material, and more experimental club forms. Its base in London places it in close proximity to a long-running network of UK dance music scenes, and its artist list reflects connections that extend beyond a single locality.

Separate from the label, the name “Wolfpack” is also used by a Belgian DJ and production duo from Willebroek, formed in 2011. This refers to a different entity and is not part of Local Action’s label history.
