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).

How I Roll / You Got This

PREMIERE: D.D. Curry - You Got This [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.”
