SlothBoogie Guestmix #472 - James Curd

We've got a bit of a musical legend in the house today for the guestmix! Here's some words from the man himself Lately I’ve been getting back into playing a lot more vinyl-only sets after spending the last few years deep in film scoring and studio work. I will be getting back out playing more shows this year, so this mix felt like a good snapshot of where my head is at musically right now. I’ve also been putting a lot of energy into my label PRONTO, which has become a home for music from artists and friends like Marcellus Pittman, Osunlade, Rick Wade, Art Of Tones, Oliver Dollar and Make A Dance. I’m currently working on a new project with Osunlade called Nomadics that I’m really excited about. Outside the club world, I’ve had music in the new Jackass film and the latest Farrelly Brothers movie, plus I recently finished scoring a new feature starring Ron Perlman and Theo Rossi. Before all of that I spent years making music for Grand Theft Auto which was honestly one of the wildest chapters of my career. This mix is just a bunch of records I love, Chicago roots, deep house, disco, weird late-night stuff and a few curveballs. I also recently got to remix Joe Smooth’s “Promised Land” for DJ International, which was a pretty surreal full-circle moment for a kid originally from Chicago. Hope you enjoy it. James @jamescurd
