Local Action is proud to announce a new sibling label, Clasico, curated and operated by ELEANOR.

Clasico will be focused on cutting edge global club music, and was inspired by a series of label trips to North America in 2022 and the energy, community and friendships that we built there. The inaugural release on the label comes from Coffintexts, an ascendent Miami-based artist who has quickly become a key figure in the city’s current hotbed of club music talent.

A steady stream of releases across the last few years, both solo and collaborating with the likes of INVT and Jonny from Space, have seen Peruvian-American artist Coffintexts emerge as one of the most exciting new names in contemporary club music, with DJ support coming from Pearson Sound, Dixon, Charlotte de Witte, Volvox, Eclair Fifi, Nick Leon, Florentino and more.

As well as contributing to compilations from the likes of Femme Culture, Coffintexts was behind one of the stand-out tracks on Danny Daze’s scene-setting Homecore! Miami All Stars compilation last October, and recently performed her first Boiler Room and Keep Hush streams, on top of recent festival appearances at Okeechobee, III Points and more. Press-wise, she’s had glowing write-ups in Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, Mixmag, Crack, Untitled 909 and more.

Driven by flawless percussion throughout and punctuated by her own vocal hooks that stay with you from the first listen, Touch is a perfect summation of what makes Coffintexts so special. Opening track ‘Ur Body So Smooth’ feels like the perfect intersection between contemporary Miami, classic UK Funky and mid-2000s US house, with vocals from collaborator Gaby G. Title track ‘Touch’ takes things harder with big 909 hats over a warehouse bassline, while ‘Toxic’ hones in on the hypnotic combination of voice and percussion which has felt like a trademark of previous Coffintexts releases. Finally, ‘Activo’ slows things down for a Latin percussion workout, heavy on atmosphere and automation.
