Nomadics is the new project from James Curd and Osunlade. After years of playing back to back DJ sets and collaborating in the studio, they decided it was time to create something that could represent both the music they make together and the shows they play. Their sound is a natural meeting point between deep house grooves and soulful roots, reflecting both artists' histories and shared love for timeless dance music.The first single from Nomadics is 'Better Man'. The track was originally signed to Defected Records, but after creative differences about how the release should be presented, the contract was voided. That decision gave James and Osunlade the chance to put the music out exactly as they envisioned, and the song now finds it's proper home on Pronto Records. The package includes the original, alongside a set of remixes from some of the most exciting names in underground house. Dutch producer Frits Wentink delivers a remix in his unmistakable style - raw drum programming, warm analogue textures, and the kind of off kilter groove that has made him one of the most respected names in Europe's house scene. Mr Ho, co-founder of the cult label Klasse Wrecks, adds his own twist with a version that nods to classic rave and electro energy, while keeping things firmly locked for the dancefloor. Finally, LA-based duo Too Easy bring a mysterious touch, layering live instrumentation with electronic drive, showing why they're quickly becoming ones to watch.With it's story of creative independence, heavyweight remixers, and the credibility of two deeply respected artists at the helm, 'Better Man' is both a club record and a statement of intent for what Nomadics represents.Tracklisting:A1.
