Harnessing the powerhouse talents of Adam Deitch (Lettuce, Break Science, Pretty Lights), Josh Fairman (Sunsquabi, Analog Son), and Ian Gilley (DIASTRATA, Flamingosis Live Band), supergroup Nitecap have released their new single “Things Of That Nature.” PRESS HERE to listen. “Things Of That Nature” features an upbeat combination of cutting-edge, funk-laced synths, warm bass, and rhythmic drums and marks the second track off Nitecap’s debut album, out early 2025 via Perception Records.
“The combination of Ian Gilley's cutting-edge synth sounds and compositions with Josh Fairman's low-end bass playing and engineering wizardry perfectly complement Deitch's style of funky, J Dilla inspired drumming,” shares Deitch on the new single. “It all creates a unique, warm analog sound that is sure to get heads bobbing and music lovers listening on repeat.”
“Things Of That Nature” follows the recent release of the Denver-based trio’s debut single “Plátanos,” which fuses modern, synth-drenched neosoul with R&B sensibilities and a hint of jazz-funk to create the unique and timeless sound that Nitecap is quickly becoming known for.
A product of the pandemic, their forthcoming album stands as a testament to resilience and the tenacity of the human spirit. “It just shows that something horrible can give birth to something beautiful,” says Fairman. “This project was born in my basement. We all actually had time on our hands for the first time in years,” he adds of Nitecap’s formation. “So, what better way to spend that time than making music with your best friends? We spent many sessions just drinking wine, playing, talking, and sharing ideas. Soon it turned into a full-fledged band.”
Despite being a new group, Nitecap made their live debut in 2022 at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom in Denver, have performed as part of KUVO’s Jazz Odyssey Presents series, Denver’s long-standing, prestigious jazz station, and have no shortage of accolades. Adam Deitch (drums) is a four-time GRAMMY-nominated drummer, songwriter, and producer best known for his work in funk band Lettuce, EDM/live hybrid group Break Science, and his long tenures with historic artists and bands like Average White Band, John Scofield, Wyclef Jean, and Pretty Lights. Ian Gilley (keys) has made waves with his longtime duo project DIASTRATA, which has played at prestigious venues around the country, and as the keyboardist for both Midnight.Blue and the Flamingosis Live Band. Multifaceted musician and producer Joshua Fairman (bass, engineer) is quickly becoming a household name as both a bassist and engineer known for his work touring with his band Sunsquabi and his innovative production techniques.
