You know Dirtybird for dropping basslines and creating smiles on the dance floor since January 2005.

The fun family vibe of the Dirtybird label can be traced back to a free event started in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. This new kind of house music went against the smooth vocal house that was popular at the time and derived its influences mostly from hip-hop, drum n bass, and American funk. The free outdoor BBQ party was very rough around the edges but eventually became legendary amongst the people of San Francisco. This event was also a very influential factor in the decision by Claude VonStroke to start the record label in 2005.

Today, Dirtybird has offices in San Francisco and Los Angeles and has expanded into events and tour production. As it grows, the brand continues to expand beyond music into merchandise, licensing and artist management. In 2015, Dirtybird launched the inaugural Dirtybird Campout festival, which has been dubbed “Summer Camp For Adults”, and Dirtybird has been recognized from their achievements by being awarded "Underground Label of the Year" at the International Dance Music Awards, “Label of the Decade” by Mixmag, “Best North American Label” by DJ Mag, and Billboard’s "Top 5 Independent Dance Labels".

Christian was born, raised, salted and peppered here in the San Francisco Bay Area. He was blessed with a musically inclined family, and learned young that music is always there to raise your spirits… Christian excelled in his musical studies during his school years, and grew a passion for song and dance. Dancing became a way of life for Christian. This is why he LOVES House music!

 “I have always loved up-tempo dance music, and when I first heard the textures and body in House I was totally blown away. It’s a dancer’s dream – you can incorporate all styles of dance into House: ballet, salsa, capoeira, jazz-tap, street, breakin’…  All the lines to ride are there – you just have to have the ear to hear those lines…”

His journey in dance led him to underground parties where he learned firsthand the raw energy that House contains. Intrigued by the culture, Christian realized that with his background, DJing would be a lot of fun.  So began his passion for DJing.

Along his journey, he has visited many different venues ranging from renegade break-ins to clubs. Every experience led him into meeting with a group of people from San Diego - specifically Ramon Valdez. It was like “add water” friendship from the start because of the common bond of House. He then introduced Christian to Brian Cabalic and the iLHM family and the rest is history.

Now representing iLHM, Soulcamp, and Movement Christian is doing his best to contribute to the scene and be relevant to our House culture.  

When it comes to dancing, Christian is in Love with djs and artists that produce or play Freedomsheit.

Freedomsheit is the term that Christian has coined for the music he absolutely Loves... It embodies all aspects and sub-genres that have focus in progression, improvisation, and raw soul textures within the House that Jack built… He believes that it is this sound that transforms the dance floor into a playground.

It is this sound that he pushes – whatever, whenever, and however.
