The Give Some EP is a collaboration between veteran Scottish producer @panooc_music (they/them) and California-born, NYC-based @dd_curry (he/him), two solo artists who originally met in the Brooklyn underground scene. Early on during the lockdowns, the friends embarked on this project as a way to find creative release, stay in touch, and maintain a connection through the dance music they love. They arrived upon a bass-driven, nostalgic house sound that could transport them back to the club but also help them process the melancholy of isolation. What has resulted are three original tracks that are simultaneously bouncy yet introspective, along with a funky remix by emerging NYC artist Devoye. The EP has already earned early support from rising star Logic1000 in her Mixmag Cover Mix and UK scene veteran Ben Gomori on his Turned On podcast. 

Funky yet mysterious, lead track "Going Up" features atmospheric keys and otherworldly vocals over a persistent Chicago-inspired bassline that holds down the vibe. This deep mover provides a message of optimism during tough times and an opportunity for catharsis on the dancefloor.

Next, “Give Some” provides an insistent, rolling groove that combines with punchy synth stabs and a curious ambience for powerful dancefloor possibilities. Panooc’s jazz training shines through in the breakdown’s complex chord progressions that nonetheless stay focused squarely on the club.

Pulsating bass squelches and ferocious micro samples propel the leftfield banger "Wyckoff", named after a street in the Bushwick area where Panooc and Curry used to be neighbors. While the four-to-the-floor beat holds down the main rhythm, the track also features moments of broken beats that take the hook in a surprising direction.

Rounding out the EP is the club-ready remix of “Going Up” by rising artist Devoye. A beloved DJ in the Brooklyn scene, the Boiler Room alum lends his production talents and spoken word vocals to a classic house heater in the tradition of Mike Dunn. His party-igniting take will fit in nicely into any proper house set.

The Give Some EP started off as a project between physically distant friends with hopes of better days ahead. This EP will be followed by the pair’s respective solo releases later this year, and the artists look forward to teaming up again in the very near future.

Release Text: 
In his expressive solo debut EP, recent NYC-to-London transplant D.D. Curry weaves a story of quiet perseverance and patience in the pursuit of one’s dreams, told through textural, wistful house music.

The Resolve EP’s A-side “It Was You” is both reflective and funky; Curry’s driving synth bass perfectly counters his effects-laden guitar work for a tune that’s equally suited for late-night drives and intimate dancefloor moments. The title track “Resolve” is a warm, reflective journey through sliced-up drum samples, melodic low-end, and hypnotic arpeggios. The special ingredient is the atmospheric pedal steel playing of Fine Farmer, an enigmatic Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist who, through a chance bar encounter, became Curry’s first friend in New York. The EP is concluded by Lisbon producer Bernardo Mota’s pumping deep house transformation of “It Was You” into a dubby, irresistible club heater.

Before Curry relocated to London, the Los Angeles-born artist spent years in Brooklyn quietly honing his sound while building a reputation for energetic DJ sets at his Jupiter Disco monthly residency, Feel Free. A lockdown collaboration with his friend Panooc led to tracks included on Logic1000’s Mixmag Cover Mix, followed by the pair’s well-received ‘Give Some EP’ on Fortune Signal, which Curry co-founded in 2022. With the release of the Resolve EP on Y4 Collective, D.D. Curry presents his own vision for thoughtfully crafted, empathetic dance music.

PREMIERE: DD Curry - Resolve Feat. Fine Farmer [Y4 Collective]

D.D. Curry is a London-based dance music producer/DJ who came up in the NYC scene before relocating to the UK in 2022. He co-owns the club-focused Brooklyn label Fortune Signal as well as his own eclectic dance label Working Rhythms.

Oval (DD Curry Remix)

Fresh off his solo debut, ‘Resolve EP’ for Y4 Collective last Fall, Fortune Signal co-founder D.D. Curry returns to home base to drop a pair of club-tested, jackin’ singles.

‘How I Roll’ is a subby speed garage inspired groover, cheekily built around a friend’s colorful drunken voicemail.

On ‘You Got This,’ ghostly vocal samples cast an afterhours shade on a 2-step UKG-inspired soundscape. D.D.’s own voice cuts through the haze with his positive declaration that you, indeed, got this.

With both tracks, D.D. Curry offers a fond tribute to influences like classic dub reggae and UK garage, filtered through his unique lens and informed by seminal U.S. house traditions.

Early support from Ben Gomori, Ariane V (Balamii, Voices Radio), and Biforologia (Radio Kampus).

PREMIERE: D.D. Curry - How I Roll [Fortune Signal]

In his Working Rhythms Records debut, label boss D.D. Curry presents an energetic love letter to 90s garage house. “Take Me Away” is filled to the brim with Korg M1 piano stabs, chopped diva vocals, and bouncy bass lines - all the ingredients for a healthy dancefloor heater!

The project began as the soundtrack for the short film “Fuir” by Lloyd Knight, renowned principal dancer of the Martha Graham Dance Company, New York. Having received a pandemic-era Virtual Commission from Works & Process at the Guggenheim, Knight envisioned a dreamlike nostalgia trip to the club during a time when no one could go out. He approached Curry to create the soaring club tune for him to choreograph to; the resulting track is included on the EP as “D.D.’s Fuir Version,” which Curry subsequently reworked into the jackin’ house main mix. On remix duties is Brooklyn’s Kyle Louis, who flips “Take Me Away” into a UK bass-inspired broken beat blaster that’s ready to work your subwoofers overtime!

PREMIERE: D.D. Curry - Take Me Away (D.D.'s Fuir Version) [Working Rhythms Records]

“Distant Shores” is a dreamy, saxophone-drenched house track oozing with balearic atmosphere, subtle breaks, and smooth synth bass. The production is a collaboration between New York house veteran Kyle Louis and Working Rhythms Records boss D.D. Curry, now based in London. They originally met in Brooklyn when Louis moved into the apartment upstairs from Curry's and bonded over the records Curry could hear through his ceiling. The pair is joined by another longtime friend, UK-via-NYC producer/DJ Panooc, who’s lent their conservatory-trained jazz sax skills to perfectly compliment the vibe.

Louis recalls, “It started off with D.D. sending me some Rhodes, bass and Panooc’s sax parts. Within a few hours, I had a mostly fleshed out track - chopping up those samples, adding a little break beat, some chunky drums and a couple new synths. I wanted it to be funky, emotional and a bit aggressive all at the same time. The title comes from Devin and I now being on separate shores after sharing Brooklyn for so long - now Brooklyn and London.”

Fortune Signal started as four friends with a shared obsession for dance music and a desire to carve out a niche that reflected our sensibilities. No big industry connects or main stage clout, just grit and passion.

The shape of the label has always morphed to occupy the space where our individual tastes overlap. Three years, fifteen releases, and many late nights later, the edges of that shape have come into sharper focus. "Visions" is our clearest statement yet, and a signpost for where we’re headed.

These tracks represent our renewed musical vision for the future: discerning and contemporary production that sidesteps obvious tropes, restrained when it needs to be, powerful when it counts, a little off-kilter, but always with a firm grip on the groove. High-functioning club cuts from some of the most exciting producers in our orbit.

"Visions" brings together new friends and old from our extended family across the US and UK. Some have released with us before. Some have played at our parties. Some are producers who we've been keeping an eye on and waiting for the stars to align. They're all artists we feel share our commitment to pushing forward-thinking dance music in a landscape that often defaults to the familiar.

Early support:
"Free Girl" - Moxie (NTS)
"Grasping For Acid" - Man Power (Rinse FM)
"Picking Up Threads From An Old Life" - Rob Zile (KissFM)
