Defected Presents Nick Curly In the House

The latest instalment in the Defected Presents series comes from German DJ/producer Nick Curly out this Sunday, the 26th January.

Two CDs of deep and dreamy house and techno, breaking down the walls of stress, lifting us out our shells and away from the grind of the everyday. With cuts from artists like Tripmastaz, Kerri Chandler and Gorge along with some album exclusives from Nick Curly himself, the mix highlights just how much the label values their Mannheim man. Loops revolve, beats dissolve and groove evolves throughout, giving the mix a natural, effortless flow and rhythm.

Here’s what the man himself says about the mix: “Being asked to do an In The House compilation and follow in the footsteps of my own DJ heroes throws up all kinds of challenges in terms of track selection. I really pushed myself to find records which are tuned to the dancefloor while also being something you might enjoy again and again in different circumstances.”

CD1 kicks off with a new and exclusive track from Curly, ‘No Requests’. Other highlights include Schatrax’s spooky ‘Mists’, the gentle rhythms of Johnny D’s ‘Scope of Mind’, Matthias Meyer’s hypnotic roller ‘Tout Va Bien’ and climaxing with Tolga Fidan’s ‘Drunk Rotations’.

CD2 “shifts through the gears more swiftly than its relatively laidback predecessor.” The Black 80’s’ ‘Give Me Something’ opens up  and makes way for Guillaume and The Coutu Dumonts’ ‘Indigo Shower’, cruising through with tracks like Matthew Styles’‘Dominion’and finishing off with ‘Distraction’ by Daschund and DJ W!ld’s ‘Last Summer (Kerry Chandler Remix)’.

Perhaps the best way to give you a feel of the mix is to show you the tracklist and below is a little taster of the some of the tracks to be featured. Look out for the ‘Deep In Jersey Mix of Harry Romero’s ‘Keep Pushing On’ which creeps in almost out of nowhere at the back end of CD1.
