AXELBEAT, nome d'arte di un talentuoso musicista nato a Vittoria (RG), Sicilia, nel 1997, è un artista versatile che abbraccia una vasta gamma di generi musicali. Sin dai suoi primi passi, dimostra una predilezione per il Rock e il Reggae, ma col passare del tempo si avvicina sempre di più a sfumature della musica come la DeB, la Tecno, il Pop, l'Electro e il Breakbeat.

La sua passione per la musica lo spinge a organizzare eventi e serate musicali in collaborazione con vari artisti e associazioni culturali locali. Durante l'estate del '98, entra in contatto con i Kamikaze Sound System K-42, un incontro che influenzerà profondamente il suo percorso musicale.

Assieme ad amici, fonda la SPECIAL TRIBE Sound System, dando vita a diverse feste in Sicilia. Successivamente, trasferendosi in Toscana, il loro Sound System partecipa a eventi di risonanza come la "Street Parade" di Firenze e Bologna.

La musica di AXB è plasmata principalmente da sintetizzatori e drum machine. Partendo dal campionatore Yamaha SU700, passando per le Korg Electribe (rossa e blu), fino alle Emu XL7 Synth, ha affinato il suo suono nel corso degli anni. Nel 2004, trasferitosi a Bologna, si esibisce in centri sociali come Livello 57 e in vari club. Nel corso degli anni, ha sperimentato con diverse strumentazioni, includendo tastiere midi Oxygen 8v2, controller midi, Korg Electribe MX1 valvolare, PC e Kaos Pad 3, creando melodie ricche di bassline avvolgenti e beat coinvolgenti.

I generi musicali che ha prodotto in autonomia spaziano dall'originale tecno/industrial e drum and bass, fino all'elettro e al breakbeat. I suoi bassi profondi, le melodie coinvolgenti e i remix sono il risultato di un mix esplosivo di influenze culturali e musicali che ha accumulato nel corso degli anni.

Man mano che la sua carriera progredisce, AXB continua ad arricchire il suo arsenale sonoro, integrando software come Ableton Live, supportato da tastiere midi controller, insieme a VST come Massive, Albino e Virus.

Nel 2010, la sua musica conquista diverse città del nord Italia, con performance a Brescia, Venezia e Trento. La sua creatività continua a evolversi e ad affinare il suo suono, grazie all'uso di nuovi strumenti come l'AKAI APC 40. Nel giugno del 2011, raggiunge un importante traguardo con l'uscita della sua traccia "Sex Move" su vinile, pubblicata dalla Blame Society Records.

L'esperienza di AXB è arricchita dal piacere di condividere il palco con artisti underground italiani e internazionali, testimoniando il suo contributo al mondo della musica elettronica.

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".

OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.

The head behind DubNoir Music has been contemplating whether to start a label over the last few years just releasing and pushing music he believe's in including his own productions. With the label owner now having more time on his hands and a vast amount of experience within the music industry, it was only natural for him to create a brand which will allow him to make music which he want's to, aswell as give artists the chance to express themselves on the label with a no rules ethos as far as musical boundaries go.

Two years have passed and the support for the label has been immense. The label has had big commercial support from the likes of Annie Mac (Radio One) & Kissy Sell Out (Radio One) to the more underground heads, with artists such as Justin Martin, Jesse Rose, Hannah Holland, Round Table Knights, Jamie Anderson, Idiotproof, Catz N Dogz, Slam, Dj Zinc, HiJack, Bass Kleph, Oliver $, Sinden, Worthy, Rennaisance Man, Laidback Luke, Malente, Solo, Lee Mortimer, Pezzner, Riva Starr & Many More playing, charting and digging the music.

The aim of DubNoir is to bring the freshest house music to the public. Whether its tech house, nu-disco/ indie, deep house, it doesn't matter as long as its got something about it that will make the dance floor appreciate it. 

The label will purvey forward thinking music and will always choose quality over quantity whatever the musical climate kicks up throughout the forthcoming years.
