The dynamic duo of Dedy Dread & Mr Bird are two handsome producers & DJ's based in Lisbon, who met through the shared acquaintance of UK producer Smoove, soon after Mr Bird spread his wings and moved to Lisbon from his hometown of Newcastle in the UK. Dedy had already released tunes on Smoove's label Wack Records, and Steve knew Smoove from the cold Northern wastes of the UK, so it was just a matter of time before these two beat wizards got together.

They started producing together not long after that, and the Bird Dread Sound was formed! With their first 7" vinyl release on Lisboa Records in 2010 (executive produced by legend J-Star), they set the tone of their vibes to come…quirky soul, funk & reggae mixed with soul and rap acapellas, with an eye for the discerning dancefloor

With releases on Resense Records, Lisboa Records and Booty Fruit and now having joined the Riddim Fruit crew, things are looking up for these two beat connoisseurs.

Dedy Dread is a Portuguese architect, surfer, producer & DJ with releases on Lisboa Records, Wack Records, Cast-A-Blast and Booty Fruit, who can be heard spinning fine grooves all over Lisbon town, equally at home on his board or making beats, and he also runs the Lisboa record label & the Tighten Up night with Mr Mute & Mr Bird.

Mr Bird is an Englishman spreading his wings, DJing and producing more beats & remixes than the average sparrow, also co-runs the Heavy Duty Booty and Master Press Recordings labels somewhere between Portugal and the UK. Steve has several releases lined up in the next few months for different labels (including Booty Fruit, Resense records, Budabeats, Mustbeat, Freesoul 45, Spring Strut, Heavy Duty Booty & Master Press Records) and is currently working on new soulful sounds with UK singer Greg Blackman.
