  • Nick Curly will release his debut album this March, entitled Between the Lines. Curly is a key purveyor of the so-called "Mannheim Sound," a hard-to-pin-down style of house emanating from his home city in Germany and the artists that live there, such as Markus Fix or Johnny D. He's also a co-founder of two prolific labels: 8bit and Cécille Records, both of which are steady outlets of club-tailored tech house from Mannheim and beyond. Many of Curly's past EPs have aimed expressly for the club, but on Between the Lines he changes his tune a bit: its 13 tracks show a subtler side of his palette, sometimes thanks to soulful guest singers, while also maintaining the club energy that defines most of his catalog. The release party for the album takes place this weekend at Watergate in Berlin, with Curly playing alongside Michael Mayer, Dorian Paic, Woody, and Henrik Bertsch. All of the tracks on Between the Lines are previously unreleased. Tracklist 01. Inside My Head 02. Eastern Curve 03. Piano in the Dark 04. Spinning Plates 05. Glass Ceiling 06. Wrong Hands 07. Hairline 08. Truth to Be Told 09. Between 10. You Don't Have to Hopp 11. Underground 12. Harlot 13. Wake Me Up Cecille will release Between the Lines on March 19th, 2012.
