One of the international underground’s key players makes his return visit to the Sullivan Room this Saturday night for another night of top-notch dancefloor grooves. Germany’s Nick Curly, whose red-hot fusion of deep, percussive house with techno elements has rapidly earned him a huge following worldwide, follows up an amazing September debut for Basic NYC on Saturday, January 22nd, as his “Keep On 2011” tour his the Big Apple.

As a producer, a DJ, and as the label-head of the tastemaking 8Bit and Cécille imprints, Nick’s music is defining the new direction of the underground.
It’s been a dizzying rise for Nick, who made a huge global splash with a string of releases in 2008, and has been going non-stop ever since. Nick’s own productions helped revitalize and energize deep house music, adding enough techno punch to toughen things up for the bigger rooms. He emerged from his hometown of Mannheim, Germany, along with several other key producers – including Johnny D, Gorge, Marcus Fix and Andomat 3000 – a group which represented the so-called “Mannheim Sound”. But today Nick is truly recognized as a global innovator, with world-class DJs all supporting his labels and his productions.

2010 was his highest-profile year yet. He was all over Ibiza this past summer, with him mixing one of the discs for Sven Vath’s “Party Animals” Cocoon Ibiza CD, and a summer-long headlining residency at Space’s Kehakuma party. To add to his achievements, he made his Essential Mix debut on July 31st, playing for Pete Tong’s prestigious BBC Radio Show. He just rocked the annual BPM Festival, and is busy touring worldwide to spread his unique take on the underground sound. With his 8Bit and Cecille labels firing on all cylinders,

Joining Nick on the decks will be Basic NYC residents Sleepy & Boo, who have played with Nick for his last two New York appearances. Their Basic NYC schedule for 2011 is loaded with fresh new artists, with Curly one of the highlights on a schedule that includes Carlo Lio, Tom Middleton, Jody Wisternoff and Solomun and UNER. Warming things up will be two sets of newcomers to Sully – Dave Turk and Pasquale, who can be seen at the Porch among other spots, and the House Assassin’s Ken Masters and Merk-E. It’ll be a night of irresistible music from Nick Curly for his much-anticipated second Sullivan Room visit.
