Growing up Chicago, the birthplace of house music, James made a name for himself as one of the city`s third wave of artists following the second wave of legendary producers and DJs such as Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, and Mark Farina. Establishing the "Greenskeepers" unit, James pioneered the "G Swing" sound which famously fused swing music and Chicago house. Releasing seminal records on the world-renown Classic Recordings, the Greenskeepers made lasting impact on the global house scene with their distinct, unique sound heard on party anthems such as "Should I Sing Like This?"
As a producer, James has established himself as a versatile creator of house music, with a plethora of releases on acclaimed labels such as Permanent Vacation, Exploited, OM Records, Eskimo, Drop Music, Aroma, and DFA, just to name a few. However, James`s talent goes beyond house music; his new band "Favored Nations" balances a playful mix of both disco and indie with new releases scheduled for the pipeline in 2014. Now based in Australia, James is also in demand for his television and film production, scoring music for diverse projects such as BBC documentaries and mainstream Hollywood films.
But it`s as a DJ where James really shines. Regarded as one of the most creative selectors in house music, James has rocked dance floors around the globe: Sub Club in Glasgow, Fabric in London, The Avalon in Los Angeles, Home in Sidney, Smart Bar in Chicago, even the massive Lollapalooza festival in the US. Known to drop a wide assortment of house, disco, and techno tunes, James crafts sets sets with an impeccable sense of style and timing which sets him apart from many DJs

METRO
Coming on strong after our first two parties featuring deep & tech house dons Fred Everything and Toni Aparisi respectively, METRO is pleased to welcome the extraordinarily talented James Curd as our third overseas guest!
Being held at one of Tokyo’s newest clubs: FREQ. -the venue that housed the legendary clubs YELLOW & ELEVEN- METRO is a night of great sounds and irresistible dance vibes. Adding to this already prestigious party pedigree, and one of the best sound-systems in Tokyo, METRO is being run by one of the co-founders of the infamous & respected『Ooooze』House/Techno events – a pillar of the Tokyo party scene since June 2002. Let this expertise be your guide for a night of guaranteed sonic excellence and musical euphoria.
Coming from these roots -- and inspired by 3 key principles: NEWEST ECLECTIC ELECTRONIC SOUNDS; DELICIOUS VIBES & PEOPLE; plus PURE IRRESISTIBLE FUN -- METRO's goal is to extend this platform to re-charge and flood positive, original, and refreshing music energy back into the Tokyo scene. By re-injecting this flow into Japan's party people – YOU - we hope to blend the best of cutting-edge deep, classic, melodic House Music with the most up-and-coming twisted Tech House, funky Techno, and specially selected Nu-Disco/Electro genres. Played by carefully selected DJ stars -both rising and established; local and international- this promises to be a popular fixture on the Tokyo scene….don’t miss out on the third instalment of what is becoming an institution in Japan’s nightlife.
METRO --together with the most “up-for-it” and stylish crowd around-- promises to deliver a beautiful, influential and brilliant clubbing experience in Japan and beyond!!
See y'all the dance floor...
