Nick Curly returns to Cécille this February with his new ‘We Luv’ EP, comprising three originals from the German artist.

For over two decades, Nick Curly has been a leading figure in the contemporary house music scene, consistently maintaining a packed global touring schedule and releasing tracks on renowned labels like Defected and Mood Child in Sound. In addition, he has made a significant mark as the co-founder of the acclaimed 8-Bit label with Gorge and Cécille Records with Marc Scholl. Now, Nick returns to Cécille following the success of his 2024 release, the Come Right Back EP.

Title-cut ‘We Luv’ leads the way via robust organic percussion, intertwined with a snaking low-end groove and intricately processed, dubbed out and filtered funk loops. ‘Revolver’ follows next and retains a similar aesthetic courtesy of a sturdy rhythm section, weight sub bass tones, spiralling dub echoes and jazzy keys.

‘Keep It Up’ then concludes the EP on a deeper tip, employing airy pad swells, choppy vocal chants and airy chimes at its core, while a swinging drum groove and bouncy subs further fuel the raw, hypnotic groove.[info sheet from distr.]
