LOADING BREAKS...
CURLY (CH) is a contemporary producer working across breakbeat and the adjacent UK bass continuum. His catalogue is rooted in broken rhythmic structures, with releases that also move through UK garage, bassline, dubstep and grime-informed territory.
His documented commercial run began in late 2022 with “Hood Politics” on 83, followed shortly by “Make Me Feel” for Close Your Eyes. Those two labels became the principal frameworks for a steadily expanding body of work built for the breakbeat-focused club circuit.
The 83 catalogue established a recurring strand in his output, spanning tracks such as “All About The Music”, “Designer Groove”, “1993”, “OYM”, “7AM”, “Andromeda” and “Arena Of Dub”. The music favours direct rhythmic momentum while leaving room for bass pressure, rave reference points and UK-centric vocal or dub sensibilities.
Close Your Eyes provided a second important platform. Releases including “Talk To Me”, “Rundfunk”, “Last Night”, “Transcendence” and “Sleepwalker” show the same core interest in breaks, while allowing for broader club-oriented variations in texture and arrangement.
In 2023, the Resampled Memories project gave this output a more structured form. Issued through 83 across two EP instalments and a subsequent collection, it gathered his sample-minded approach into a connected body of work rather than a sequence of isolated singles.
“OYM” became one of the notable tracks from this period, receiving inclusion in Beatport’s Best New Breaks / UK Bass selection for October 2023 and in Guau’s year-end selection. Its profile helped define CURLY (CH) as a producer operating within the current breaks ecosystem rather than outside it.
The 2024 single “8AM”, again on 83, continued that trajectory. It received multiple Beatport editorial inclusions during October and was also selected in Guau’s Best of 2024, marking it as a particularly visible club record in his catalogue.
Collaboration has been part of the project’s development without displacing its individual producer identity. “Klein” connected CURLY (CH) with Yo Speed, while “Glow” paired him with Content of Void. His work with DJ Žaibas includes “Reality Shift” and an official remix of “Andromeda”.
Break 2 The Future, released by Close Your Eyes in 2025, brought several of these threads together in a nine-track format. Alongside solo material such as “Last Night”, “Algorithm”, “Breathe” and “Transcendence”, it included “Reality Shift” with DJ Žaibas, plus remixes by DJ Žaibas and Kyhu.
During 2025, his releases also reached labels beyond his two main homes, including Elektroshok Records, Banana Club and 3-4-1 Cuts. “Arena Of Dub”, released on 83 that July, returned emphatically to the breaks axis and received Beatport editorial support in its July Breaks / UK Bass selections.
His catalogue does not treat genre boundaries as fixed. Tracks such as “Can’t Get Over” enter UK garage and bassline territory, “Limewire Gang” draws on deep dubstep and grime, while “Downfall” and “Dance” open onto electronica and indie dance respectively. These departures remain extensions of a club-focused practice centred on rhythm and low-end design.
The collaboration “Sunlight” with Jackfruit (US) arrived in late 2025, extending his network beyond the immediate circle of earlier releases. In 2026, material including “Sleepwalker”, “Dance”, “Simplicity” and “The Broken Mind” confirmed an ongoing release schedule across breaks and bass-oriented platforms.
CURLY (CH)’s work belongs to a contemporary international breakbeat field in which labels, digital stores and DJ circulation connect breaks with garage, bassline and dub-rooted forms. Across 83, Close Your Eyes and related outlets, he has developed a compact but varied catalogue led by broken-beat propulsion and a flexible UK bass vocabulary.
