On August 2, Nick Curly brings his acclaimed event series and legendary imprint 

 for a night centered around timeless underground house music. Also joining the lineup are New York house legend Harry Romero, rising Irish producer Andrew Azara, and local selectors GENPOP and aazure.

A defining figure of the Mannheim scene, Nick Curly has spent more than a decade shaping dance floors across the world through warm, flowing productions and carefully crafted DJ sets. As the founder of both Cécille Records and 8Bit Records, he helped introduce a sound rooted in groove, soul, and musical depth during a transformative era for underground electronic music. Since launching in 2008, Cécille became one of the most respected labels in house and tech house, releasing music from artists including Butch, Markus Fix, Robert Dietz, Toman, Josh Butler, Harry Romero, and SiS.


Following the recent return of Cécille Records, Nick Curly continues to bring the label’s spirit back to clubs and dance floors worldwide, reconnecting audiences with the sound that helped define an era of underground house music.

Joining the lineup is New York house music mainstay Harry Romero, whose influence spans decades of club culture. Known for releases such as “Tania,” “Revolution,” and “Night @ The Black,” Romero became one of the leading names in New York house through releases on labels including Subliminal, Defected, Toolroom, and Saved Records. His sets blend deep percussion, house rhythms, and classic club sensibility that continue to resonate across dance floors internationally.

Also appearing is rising Irish producer Andrew Azara, whose refined minimal and underground house sound has earned him growing recognition across Europe and beyond. Now based in Barcelona, Azara has become closely associated with respected labels including Cécille, Djebali, Politics of Dancing, Microhertz, and Moan. 

Since emerging in 2019, he has built momentum through a strong run of carefully crafted releases supported by artists including Jamie Jones, PAWSA, The Martinez Brothers, ANOTR, Archie Hamilton, and Franky Rizardo. His recent EP 

 on Cécille climbed the Beatport charts and further established him as one of the most talked about names in the current underground scene.
