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".

Anton Tumas moves through the worlds of DJing, promotion, production, and label curation with quiet precision. For well over a decade, his work has been grounded in a deep respect for electronic music’s craft and culture, leaving a lasting mark without the need for fanfare.

From LA’s underground clubs to desert gatherings like Moontribe and Burning Man, and festivals including Lightning in a Bottle, Further Future, and Woogie Weekend, Anton has shared the stage with artists such as Hernán Cattáneo, DJ Tennis, and Danny Howells. His selections traverse the edges of house, techno, and electronica—guided by an ear for the forward-thinking and timeless.

As a promoter, he’s built experiences that speak for themselves. His Subtract On The Pier residency has transformed Long Beach into a destination for world-class talent, hosting everyone from Doc Martin and Lee Burridge to Patrice Bäumel and Mathew Jonson. As producer of the Love Long Beach Festival, he curates with precision and vision, drawing over 10,000 people each year.

Subtract, the record label he founded, reflects the same philosophy: releasing only when the music demands it. Each record is chosen with care, featuring artists from emerging voices to veterans like John Digweed, Stimming, and Matthew Dekay. The label’s consistency speaks to Anton’s uncompromising standard for quality.

In recent years, he’s brought that same discipline to his own productions. His music has appeared on All Day I Dream, Sudbeat, Balance, Endless, Sol Selectas, and his own Subtract imprint, including collaborations with Hernán Cattáneo, Dave DK, and Jamie Stevens. Patient and exacting, his work carries the same refined sensibility that defines his DJ sets and events.

For Anton, the work is never finished. In his own words: “We’re in an ever-evolving landscape, inventing it as we go. One thing is certain: We're only getting started"

In a now long forgotten world, many generations ago, a bird like shape emerged from wooded darkness, floating and fluttering, drifting and dreaming. Backlit by a bright glow of iridescent light, the undecipherable form wore a dazzling golden mask. Its long beak swooped down like an inverted horn and since then, people have referred to the mythical being simply as Claptone...
