James Curd, Marcellus Pittman – Shafty Riptide / Corners
Pronto (PRONTO000)

12″ Vinyl – Deep House · Detroit Grooves · Chicago Sound

Detroit–Chicago connection on a smoky, after-hours house 12″.

The first release on Pronto sees two underground icons lock in — James Curd from Chicago and Marcellus Pittman from Detroit. On the A-side, “Shafty Riptide” is a gritty roller: all machine funk and late-night tension, swinging between jacked-up percussion and dubbed-out pads. Flip it over for “Corners,” where Pittman brings that 3 Chairs energy — jazzy chords, wonky acid lines, and a rhythm section that dances just off-center in the best way.

This one’s built on deep foundations — rough-edged, soulful, and straight from the source.
