Biography

Greenskeepers is forever changing as a meeting of minds and a catalog of music. The name was founded by childhood friends James Curd and Nick Maurer in 1999. James and Nick grew up skateboarding together in Chicago. Nick bounced around local punk bands while James was djing in Chicago clubs and raves when he was only 15 years old.

At the age of 18 James built up a music studio and began producing Chicago house. His first release came out on the french label Basenotic in 1999. Soon after James released “Whats Your Man Got To Do WIth Gan” on Classic Records. He released it under the new Greenskeepers name and forever left it’s mark in the electronic music world. The stand out song on the EP was “Low and Sweet” which was named one of the “Festive Fifty by British dj John Peel. This helped make James an international Dj that was constantly traveling to spread the Greenskeepers sound.

In early 2001 Nick and James went in the studio together to record. The result of this effort was the single “Should I Sing Like This?” It was a international club hit and showcased Nicks unique vocal stylings.

After the success of “Should I Sing Like This” Nick made the big move over to Heidelberg Germany. This left James on his own to build on the Greenskeepers legacy.

It was at this time in 2002 that James released swing house music under the Greenskeepers name. “Low and Sweet” was a fore shadowing of the new style that would take the dance floors over. He also established a new record label “G-Swing” specifically dedicated to this sound.
