Local Action – the independent record label run by FACT Mag’s chief editor Tom Lea – is finally set to release DJ Q‘s debut album ‘Ineffable’ next week after more than a decade of club singles spanning bassline house, garage, grime and more. Although he’s been releasing club tuna since the start of the ‘00s, he had his breakthrough moment in 2008 with ‘U Wot’, one of the biggest tracks to come out of the UK’s bassline house / niche explosion. The years since have seen him hold down residencies on BBC Radio 1xtra and Ministry of Sound Radio, while releasing on Butterz, Unknown to the Unknown and Local Action. He’s picked up some impressive admirers along the way too – DJ EZ, Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy and Skrillex have all shown their admiration for Q in recent years. The album features frequent collaborator Louise Williams, vocalist Kassandra, grime talent MC Discarda and more, and you can stream ‘Ineffable’ via Pitchfork Advance now. This is a pop record – no doubt about it – but in the way pop should sound: at times devoted and at times desolate, sexually charged and made for the night.
