Greenskeepers
LMD008 - Jay West - Turnin Round (Greenskeepers Mothers Day Remix)
Long before James Curd was jet setting from London to Tokyo slinging records on the decks, he was spinning loft parties and raves at the ripe old age of fifteen in Chicago. By nineteen, he had already established himself as a premiere DJ in the Chicago club scene and surrounding cities. By twenty, he was guesting as a DJ at Chicago's best dance clubs and holding down residencies alongside Derrick Carter, Diz and Gene Ferris.
That same year, James began producing tracks and scored his first record deal with French recording label BNO. It was at this time that James joined forces with long-time skateboarding friend Nick Maurer to create Greenskeepers, named in honor of their shared caddy past. A talented guitarist, vocalist and drummer who'd developed a taste for electronic music while living in Germany, Nick soon realized he and James shared a similar philosophy towards music: to bring the fun back to the dance floor. The two released numerous singles and their debut EP ‘What's Your Man Got To Do With Gan?' (Classic Recordings, London) put Greenskeepers on the map as the rising stars of dance music. Shortly thereafter their monster house anthem ‘Should I Sing Like This', featuring Nick's quirky signature vocals, undeniably confirmed their arrival.
With the success of the single, Curd sought to expand the Greenskeepers repertoire further by adding producer/musician Mark Share officially to the group's roster. Having collaborated with Curd since 2001, Share was already a part of the ‘Keepers sound having produced the tracks ‘Do You Like Robots' (Farris Wheel/Chicago), ‘Come With Me' (Farris Wheel, Chicago), and ‘Daughter of the Sun' (Classic Recordings, London). In 2003, after cranking out six tracks on the debut Greenskeepers album ‘The Ziggy Franklen Radio Show', Share was eager to get back in the studio with the crew and begin work on the second album. By the fall, with twelve tracks finished, Greenskeepers shifted into overdrive, mastering the album while rehearsing for their first series of live shows. ‘Pleetch' was released to huge acclaim on Om Records and the whirlwind that is the Greenskeepers continued with live and DJ performances the world over. Next up in 2006 is the ‘Keepers 3rd album, also on Om Records and eagerly awaited by anyone with an ear for great music and a sense of fun.
