A collaboration with the boss Claude VonStroke was something Lubelski knew he had to do around the 'Happy Accidents' project, he just had no idea what direction it might take.   'Ice Cream Cone' is a smooth and sultry answer to that question that feels equal parts Lubelski complexity and VonStroke simplicity, taken to a whole new level by breakthrough vocalist Life on Planets.  It's the kind of track you aren't sure you want your mom to hear you listening to, primed and ready for dance floor romancing with an ear turned towards both clubland's past and future.

YO! I made this little monster with homie Kevin Knapp for my fave label's 10th birthday! Here's what Claude Vonstroke has to say about the release:

"I can't think of a better way to celebrate DIRTYBIRD's 10 year anniversary than by releasing 14 great tracks that I fully support. There’s no fluff in here. Everyone from our amazing talent pool has delivered their A game material. And l have also added a few great new names to the family. 

It’s hard to believe that this little project started in my bedroom in the Lower Haight, San Francisco 10 years ago. I can distinctly remember hand stamping vinyl promos at home with my friend Fernando and trying to figure out the best way to mail them to Europe. I remember the very first guy to ever call me back about our music was Edgar Dirksen in Frankfurt, Germany, who was working at a now defunct distributor called Neuton. This was the only place that would agree to sell our records back in 2005 and I still thank him for taking the chance on us. 

There have been many many people involved since the beginning. Special thanks to all who have helped me run the shop at different times such as my wife Aundy, Mike Bosley, Christian Martin, Adam Carter, Sharen Norden, Bryan James, Luke Williams, Jonathan McDonald, Alastair Duncan and Stacey Gamble. Of course I couldn’t have done it without my good friend and the amazing music producer, Justin Martin, who helped shape our sound and also really define what it means to be part of DIRTYBIRD. 

A lot has happened in the music industry over the last 10 years but I like to think we have stayed consistent and managed to enjoy the ride. The players may change but the theme stays the same; keep it fun and funky. So please enjoy this very special compilation of our music and here’s to another 10 years of DIRTYBIRD!

Much Love,
Claude VonStroke"


Sacha Robotti & Kevin Knapp :: "THUMP BUMPER" - Dirtybird

It's not a surprise that the two would gel, both thanks to their happy-go-lucky ​personalities and their thunderous, bass beat sounds. After working in the studio together, what's arrived is a two-track EP titled 'Ol' Dirty Hearts', an ode not only to each of their label homes (Desert Hearts and Dirtybird), but also to the rare sample from rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard on the title track.

What's Up Desert Hearts Family,

Back once again on the label is boss man Mikey Lion with a single called The Way You're Wrong.

Featuring slick guitar riffs, dubbed piano chords, and pattering percussion, Mikey puts together a cut that embellishes his deeper, romantic side.

In Mikey's own words: "This song is about the emotion we feel when we're in a fight with a loved one. I wanted it to strike an emotional chord with the listener, particularly being from a woman's point of view. I think we all can resonate when fighting with a loved one because they're often the fights that impact us the most. When they're resolved they often make us stronger."

House, Techno, Love... We Are All Desert Hearts.
