Thirteen might be an unlucky number for some but for Culprit it is quite the opposite. The label's thirteenth release 'Candy' from Lee Curtiss, is its biggest and most unashamedly dance floor oriented release to date. A watershed record for the young label, 'Candy' is the special type of track that reaches out and grabs you immediately upon hearing it. So it proved for Culprit founder Andrei Osyka of Droog, who, upon hearing Matt Tolfrey play it at Visionquest's famed Old Miami party at DEMF, knew it must be a Culprit release, and promptly went out and signed it.
'Candy' arrives, arguably at the perfect time for Culprit and Curtiss. Both are making their mark on dance music in North America and beyond, and with 'Candy', they have a track powerful enough to propel both to the next stage of their musical evolution. Receiving massive support from luminaries ranging from Sasha and Jamie Jones to Damian Lazarus and Nicolas Jaar, 'Candy' is a track that transcends genre or niche, and with a club orientated dub from John Johr coupled with a Martin Buttrich remix, Culprit's thirteenth release is one not to be missed. One to watch out for in Miami next month.
Culprit and Curtiss go back a while together. Lee Curtiss was one of the first producers and friends to trust the label with his work from the very start. Curtiss and Seth Troxler's "Spending Time" was included on the first Culprit preview sampler back in the spring of 2009, and the track will receive a vinyl only release in the forthcoming months. This is Curtiss' first full release for the label. It's been long overdue, but as 'Candy' proves, worth the wait.
Release wise we're looking at early April. Still waiting to hear back about a definite date :)

What happened to march 7?
Also, needs more lens flare imo. :o

jesus, tough crowd
March 7th was a tentative and wildly optimistic vinyl release date set by the distributor...digital is in early April, still

i would have to hear a longer sample but the buttrich remix sounds like mindless fun.

Probably passing on this one. Might grow on me a bit though, but at the moment that synth line irks me.

I like the Buttrich remix, but the other two don't really do it for me. Maybe they'll grow.

The link you posted a week ago said March 7. It's not unreasonable to wonder why that changed. People just want to buy it, after all. ;)

tough crowd was in reference to the "lense glare" comment.
a lot goes into releasing a proper EP, especially if vinyl manufacturing is concerned. Sometimes deadlines are not met due to unforeseen circumstances. We are not just sitting on the track and ing around with no rhyme or reason

I hear you....now get a slightly longer sample up (or one with the meat of the track in it) because to be honest the synth buildup at the end scares me a bit. I'd be willing to make the purchase, so long as it doesn't turn into what i call a lipstick lesbian hook. Can't be too sure, it is Bas' label. :p
I'm not saying it is bad either...just that i have had unexpected surprises with buying records i couldn't hear more of in the samples . You hear a great 2 minute sample, but when you get the damn thing you realize that the rest is all unicorned out.

So less lens flare, longer samples, and definite release dates. Do you guys need anything else? Should I make you breakfast? How about some coffee?
You guys nag like old girlfriends. sake :stongue:

just promise me that the part we can't hear has cece peninton and tiny tim dueting over a supersaw and we are golden.
bas
Well of course it does. What kind of operation do you think I'm running? :o
