James Curd: Artist You Should Know

I’m pretty sure Chicago’s James Curd doesn’t sleep. Every time I check in with him, he’s got some new collaboration going on (including the music collective he created called Greenskeepers)…

James Curd doesn’t sleep.

Every time I check in with him, he’s got some new collaboration going on (including the music collective he created called Greenskeepers) or is kicking out some new catchy dance track of his own.

In fact, he’s been at it since he was 15 years old. And, since he was underage, they had to sneak him into the venues where he was DJ’ing.

The song I want to share with you here is one that I’ve played a handful of times on KCRW (as has fellow DJ Chris Douridas), and every time I play it I get a message from somebody who wants to know how they can get a copy.

Think You Know – Exploited Preview by jamescurd;

The “Think You Know” EP will be released on German record label Exploited on October 29. Until then, enjoy it here and check out more of his work on Soundcloud.

I think this track will fit nicely into my DJ set at KCRW’s Masquerade Ball on October 27th. See you there!
