When We Dip: James Cole returns to Curated. with 'Honesty'

Curated. is back with its first release in two years. The label sets out its plans for 2026 with the ‘Honesty’ EP from long-standing Hungarian artist James Cole, featuring two utterly timeless originals and a duo of remixes from two of the scene’s most respected names.

James Cole has played a key role in shaping Hungary’s electronic landscape. Alongside his work behind the decks, he’s been involved in running events, venues and platforms that have supported the scene’s growth. His productions continue to travel far beyond his home country. ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ with Kevin McKay has passed 8.8 million streams on Spotify, while his remix of Jorja Smith and Maverick Sabre’s ‘Slow Down’ has also reached over 5 million. That reach and long-running support from respected selectors reflect an artist who has earned his place internationally.

Joining him on this release, Sascha Dive represents Germany’s deep house core. His catalogue spans key labels. He tours worldwide and remains a trusted name among DJs seeking substance and groove.

This EP puts Curated. back into the conversation. It confirms the label’s commitment to signing experienced talent with proven impact, with more releases set to drop in the coming months.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Honesty’ by James Cole exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
