HIROKI TSUKUDA – LIMINAL SPACE

Posted on 2025-08-11

In Liminal Space, Tsukuda explores the elusive space between reality and fiction. His works emerge from states of transition – between places, times, and modes of perception. The motifs appear both familiar and detached, like memories of experiences that were never actually lived. Inspired by the aesthetics of so-called “liminal spaces” – deserted corridors, stripped shopping malls, surreal threshold zones – Tsukuda creates imagery that defies clear localization. They hover between presence and absence, memory and imagination. This perspective is shaped by his childhood in rural Japan, where the urban landscape was characterised by architectural remnants such as stairs leading nowhere or doors opening into emptiness, known as Hyperart Thomassons.

HODGE – TOM’S TWEAKS

Posted on 2025-08-11

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.

JIALING – ME THINKS

Posted on 2025-08-11

Baltimore-born, Brooklyn-based, BIG J herself, JIALING joins forces with Sorry Records for a floorshaking 4-track exploration of everything from big room latin hard house to queer vocal slammers, and plenty of breaks and bass in between.

I met Jialing on New Years Eve Eve 2021 at Bossa here in Brooklyn. It was like 2am on a Thursday night, mid-way through “Breaks in America” – our first ever dedicated breaks night with our friend SWAP MEET! and Kindergarten Records/Sorry favorite Drummy b2b myself. I’ve got a distinct memory of Jialing introducing herself and saying “I came because you said breaks! I love breaks!” I remember being struck by her unpretentious enthusiasm (especially considering she was still based in Baltimore back then and was routinely making the trek to NYC for local club nights like ours).

SARA FLORES – BAKISH MAI

Posted on 2025-08-11

‘Bakish Mai’ presents the recent work of Peruvian artist and activist Sara Flores: a new film and a series of patterned, abstract paintings. Through these works, Flores offers conceptual representations of Shipibo-Konibo ancestral knowledge – mappings of the Amazonian cosmos and histories made visible on the painted surface.

The exhibition’s title, which is also the name of the school co-founded by Flores in the Peruvian Amazon, translates loosely to ‘Land of Yesterday and Tomorrow’. The phrase speaks to a circular idea of time in which ancestral pasts shape the future, as well as the continued resonance of Indigenous epistemologies within a politics of land, life and futurity.’

LOUIS STETTNER – ACROSS TWO WORLDS

Posted on 2025-08-11

Drawing from his time in New York and Paris, this special exhibition brings together photographs that capture the quiet poetry of everyday life, moments of human connection, resilience, and grace, seen through Stettner’s empathetic and unwavering eye. Whether documenting the bustling streets of Manhattan or the contemplative cafés of Paris, Stettner’s work transcends geography to reveal a universal, deeply human experience.

Across Two Worlds reflects Stettner’s rare ability to merge the candid energy of American street photography with the lyrical sensitivity of the French humanist tradition. These works, spanning decades and geographies, celebrate photography’s power to find beauty and meaning in the ordinary.

Opposite – On the Dutch Ferry, 1959
