New project by James Curd and Osunlade

Nomadic’s is the new project from James Curd and Osunlade. After years spent playing consecutive 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 a shared love for timeless dance music.
Nomadic’s first single is "Better Man." The track was originally signed to Defected Records, but due to creative differences on how the release should be presented, the contract was canceled. That decision gave James and Osunlade the opportunity to release the music exactly as they envisioned, and the song now finds its rightful home on Pronto Records. The package includes the original along with a series of remixes from some of the most exciting names in underground house.
Dutch producer Frits Wentink offers a remix in his unmistakable style: raw drum programming, warm analog textures, and the kind of off-kilter groove that has made him one of the most respected names in the European house scene. Mr Ho, co-founder of the cult label Klasse Wrecks, adds his personal touch with a version that nods to classic rave and electronic energy, while keeping things firmly locked for the dancefloor. Finally, Los Angeles duo Too Easy brings a mysterious touch, layering live instrumentation with electronic drive, demonstrating why they are quickly becoming ones to watch.
With its story of creative independence, heavyweight remixes, 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 Nomadic represents. [info sheet from distr.]
