D.D. Curry releases

Does this one need an introduction? Shell Tape 82 comes from the head of the Crab Claw cast, reasserting her claim to the crustacean name with an hour and half deep dive into a fittingly alien and underwater world. It's time for an Oceanic Orbit.

There’s a constant bubble of viscous energy that runs through this mix like hot water streaming forth from deep sea geysers that provide warmth and life to so many undersea animal communities. 

Tiny bubbles of percussion flicker as drum breaks come and go, ballooning bass hits impact and pop off into the ether, leaving a constant hum of rhythmic acid lines and rubbery synth sequences. It’s proggy, it’s flirtatious, it’s futuristic and ultimately timeless with contemporary takes on techno, trance and rave tropes are warped with the energy, freedom and futurism
That drives so much dance music, new or old.

The sea floor is the final frontier, as alien as the surface of Mars. Slip into an orbit and lose yourself to ellipsis created throughout Shell Tape 82 - Kailyn Crabbe is guiding us from the centre and deep in her element.

Reece Spooner - March 2022

Twists are great - variety is truly the spice of life. Taking us ever so slightly off the beaten path and away from straight-line midweek monotony, Boorloo local Proc and Tape 88 deviates from classic acid house to jungle by way of rubber-band prog and echoes of dub techno.

There’s no obvious direction that Proc takes on “Plot Twist” and that’s a good thing. The mix sounds and feels instinctual, fun and flighty - pretension, chin scratching and dogmatic adherence to genre is disregarded while great tracks and personal enjoyment take centrestage. It’s all about the vibe, man.

And that vibe is high! It’s exciting, it morphs and turns, shifting tempo, mood and timbre as a colourful pastiche of killer club sounds emerge. Tune in and enjoy - Proc’s coming at you with a bag of peak time sounds on Tape 88.

A1. Give Some, A2. Going Up, B1. Wyckoff, B2. Going Up (@devoye Remix)

Releases June 10, 2022 
Buy now on Bandcamp: https://fortunesignal.bandcamp.com/album/give-some-ep

Support: Logic1000 (@logic1000), Nikki Nair (@nikki-nair), Ben Gomori (@bengomori), Hiatt dB (@hiattdb)

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.

Panooc & D.D. Curry - Give Some EP preview (FSNL001)

Channelling the collective rave energy from a recent festival experience we welcome London-based artist Ell Murphy to the series. 

Founder of the ever-growing label Jucey Tunes where she recently released a collaborative EP with Mani Festo, Ell Murphy is an exciting emerging voice within the South East London scene. Bringing a hybrid element to her sets with live vocal performances, Ell has played notable sets for FOLD, Hör Berlin, fabric and more. Her debut EP was released on Shall Not Fade's sub-label Time Is Now, featuring collaborations with DJ Crisps, Stones Taro and Highrise, and Ell also co-wrote and featured on TSHA's Flowers EP on Ninja Tune. 

Speaking about the mix, Ell says, "I recorded this mix on the monday after being at Westival for the weekend, so I was still buzzing from the amazing energy of being surrounded and inspired by such a lovely crew playing amazing tunes for 48 hours straight. So in this mix I wanted to capture that lingering feeling after a festival of that crew-love and dancing all night long, combined with the comedown and wishing you were still there dancing in that field with not a care in the world. I also wanted to create a nostalgic feeling with this mix as I've been thinking a lot recently about the dance music that I listened to growing up in the mid 90s, which has inspired me so much to this day, in the music that I make and play - so it features a lot of 90s house vibes and rave pianos galore."

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]

“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)

PREMIERE: Steve End - The Power Of Words [Lisztomania]

Che, House!

We’re happy to reintroduce our Helix Digital Series under a new look.

We dive back into the deep end for 006 with a uniquely energetic and action packed two-track EP by the newly formed Melbourne based duo - Pool Sharks.

Kicking things off is ‘Snookered’, a peak time housey cut filled with skippy drums and a raunchy bassline. Followed by an exploration of deep, feel good house music in ‘Johnson’s Front Room’.

A lovely first release from the enigmatic pair.
