Well chilled, this is, and so retro-cool it's wearing flares and walking down a Brooklyn street with a can of paint, past a jazz club. Disco meets jazz, and great musical skill!

DIE by the Natural Curve : 1st Single (Larse Remix)

I Die is the first release from The Natural Curve on the Best’s Friends Music label.

When the track was posted on Soundcloud, as a demo a few years ago, it caught the ear of legendary producer Niles Rodgers who simply tweeted: “That’s an awesome song!”

The tune has been revamped and updated by the Natural Curve, with the addition of guitar, percussion, and a funky-assed bass line.

I Die features the extraordinary vocal talents of the mighty Polly Gibbons; a Ronnie Scott’s and Birdland Jazz Club regular, with fans on both sides of the Atlantic. She has collaborated with the Natural Curve on several tracks.

BIO:

The Natural Curve is musician, songwriter, and producer Paul Cullen.

I Die is a typical Natural Curve track: a groovy collaboration with friends and musicians; a catchy ear-worm, packed with live performance, soul, funk, and character.

The Natural Curve repertoire is diverse, with downbeat, nujazz, d&b, house, and funk all featuring in the portfolio. The one thing that ties them all together: the groove. It has to be groovy. ‘All my best friends are bass players…’

The Natural Curve said: “Disco never died. It’s a musical perennial. There is always space for a new ‘classic’ and I Die is exactly that; slipping into the essential wedding DJ set and setting the dance floor on fire.

“The track is as groovy AF. It’s also a dead cert funeral favourite for the recently deceased, with a sense of humour.”

“The bottom line: If Nile Rodgers thinks it’s “awesome”, all other opinions are frankly irrelevant. The God of Disco has spoken and he likes it. That’s the t-shirt.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to kittens that the gorgeous Daniel Best is releasing this track. Our paths first crossed when I was signed to Frankfurt label Infracom Records, with the band Taxi. He has always been a musical pioneer, with a great ear for serious talent.

“I Die is a track that’s been on my hard drive for a while; a nagging, grooving, funky, utterly irresistible tune, with a peerless vocal from Polly, that you know is destined for the dance floor.”
