The third track created at the inaugural Dirtybird Camp, ‘Salmon’ is the result of Dirtybird Frequent Flyers Black V Neck, SHADED, & new face Andra G. Synth stabs, percussive and equal parts cool & weird, put on your sneakers and rave til the sun comes up.

Meet Me [DIRTYBIRD]

When the spirit gravitates toward the sound—the sound that makes our bodies move — we’re drawn, almost instinctively, to the dance floor. We manifest our connection to the music in real time. In that ritual, we create a universal feeling, something wordless and ancient: love. A unifying experience that is, somehow, both a fleeting snapshot and an infinity.

“Manifest” is the result of four minds aligned across four cities—Sacha Robotti, SYREETA, Mikey V, and Blakkat, working from Los Angeles, London, and Seattle. Through a charged exchange of ideas, they shaped a track that is transcendental and uplifting, engineered for peak-time dance floors and spiritual release.

The bleak post-industrial landscapes of Northern England and the Midwestern rust belt gave birth to the musical futurism that became techno and house. That lineage runs through every kick drum and melody on “Manifest.”
Sacha, SYREETA, Mikey, and Blakkat have lived this culture and the way of life that comes with it. That devotion crystallizes in their message.

As Mikey V says, “We can always manifest our true desires. We can always manifest our dreams. They become reality the moment we step out of our mind and into our heart.”

If Morpheus from The Matrix and Kevin Saunderson teamed up in the late ’80s to make a record… this is what it might have sounded like.

Brazilian producer/DJ HeyDoc! is closing out Dirtybird’s 20th anniversary series with his new Da Beat EP. Out now, the quirky two-track EP arrives in the midst of HeyDoc!’s appearances on the Flight Week Brazil Tour.

Hot off his performance in Goiânia, HeyDoc! is keeping the momentum flying on Da Beat. The title track zippers and zooms with hypnotic rhythms and bold sonic accents, while ‘Astro Dance’ takes a deep, groove-driven turn fueling nonstop energy for late nights and dark dancefloors. With its relentless creativity and infectious drive, the EP serves as a thrilling finale to Dirtybird’s 20th anniversary celebrations. Da Beat closes out Dirtybird’s 20th anniversary with playful unpredictability, serving as a fitting finale to the label’s two decades of daring, boundary-pushing sound.

In 2016 I was looking for some tracks to prepare a DJ set and it was on a Beatport playlist looking for options when I heard a track by Claude VonStrok for the first time, I liked it and bought it. From there I discovered the label. Since then, I've really liked the sound it represents DirtyBird.

Dirtybird Radio 521 - Best Of 2025

The DIRTYBIRD crew havent even had time to take their counsellor uniforms to the dry cleaners post-Campout, but already theyre dishing out more bulletproof slabs of future-flexed acid house.

Will Clarke mans the controls: Making his Dirtybird debut in January with "Badness" on DIRTYBIRD 10, follwing up with "The Boogie Woogie" EP and lazer-snapping "808Frenzy" on "DIRTYBIRD BBQ - Grill$ons Revenge" collection, the bristly Bristol-based spandex enthusiast has enjoyed a beautiful summer with releases on Defected, Emerald City and Turbo and unforgettable shows across the US, Australia and Europe.

Returning to the label with the bulbous two-track EP "Turn It Up," Clarke does just that: Writhing in carnal groove simplicity, he taps into the roots of timeless, low-down, butt-wriggling house music with three obscene examples of strong-armed tech funk. "Can You Funk" punches with Breach-level hookiness, and Turn It Up does the loopy-loop with Dirtybirds trademark vocal trippiness. 

Keep it turned: Will Clarke has been one of 2015s most exciting and authentic house music success stories. We can thank DIRTYBIRD for that. Stay tuned for more very soon...

At the end of every year most labels and publications look back and reflect on what has come before, re-packaging old tracks together or making top ten lists. I’m always trying to find some big new records at the end of the year so I can go play something fresh, so I’d like to present the DIRTYBRD New Years Special. 

Here are seven new bangers for your holiday DJ sets. The tracks are all new & most of them are by new talents on the label. Fresh faces include veteran German producer David Keno, an all new act called Jaded, Sirus Hood from Paris, My Cat Snoop, Mikey V, Wood Holly & Sage Armstrong.  Of course we have a few guys who have been on the label before, Ardalan, Genghis Clan, and Nick Olivetti.

All the tracks work great in the club which was the main criteria for the compilation, no headphone b-sides here (although we still love those too!). Happy holidays to everyone.

Peace & Love, 
VonStroke

<a href="http://lwx.so/xNsJ">Who's Afraid of Detroit? - 10th Anniversary Remixes on Beatport</a>

It’s hard to believe an entire decade has gone by since Claude VonStroke first released ‘Who’s Afraid of Detroit”. But believe it or not, we’ve reached the 10 year mark of one of the biggest hits of Claude’s career, and we felt it’s about time for some fresh takes on the track that helped launch VonStroke and Dirtybird. 

For the 10 year anniversary, we tapped into the Motor City’s outstanding talent pool and enlisted an amazing lineup of Detroit artists to help us celebrate. Besides Claude VonStroke’s brand new 2016 remix, we also included mixes from techno icons Octave One, minimal techno pioneer Marc Houle (Windsor is close enough!), and the accomplished trio Visionquest.

Not limiting the Detroit based artist package to just the music, the haunting release artwork comes to us from Michigan illustrator Dan May. In addition, a dark David Lynch style music video comes from award winning Detroit director, Anthony Ernest Garth. 

“Who’s Afraid of Detroit Remixes” will be released on the 10th anniversary of the Movement Festival in what city? 
Detroit, of course.

Claude VonStroke - Who's Afraid of Detroit? (10 Year Anniversary Mix)

The lead single off the upcoming debut album from Walker & Royce, “Take Me To Your Leader” is the insanely catchy hit that features the charismatic vocals of longtime friend and fellow New Yorker Dances With White Girls. The song tells the tale of an stimulating trip from out of this world, constructed around an impeccable Walker & Royce production—the first from their much anticipated LP “Self Help”.

"Take Me To Your Leader"

Fisher debuted “Ya Kidding” at the beginning of the Summer and it took a life of it’s own. It was perpetually in the top 10 for months, one of the most Shazamed tracks in Ibiza & UK through the festival season, took over multiple chart positions around the globe, and included an official video featuring an epic shoe-off, and became one of the biggest songs of 2017. 

With a track that strong as your first record, it was going to be a hard act to follow. Fortunately, Fisher’s sophomore release “Oi Oi” puts all those fears to rest. 

Leading off the EP is “Stop It”—the already infamous ‘roller coaster song’ that fans ask us about daily. The marriage of the track’s bassline and one sentence verse combine for an attention-grabbing single that raises the energy exponentially no matter where it’s played.

“Ya Didn’t” adds a funky bass bounce to a heavy synth stab, and a big buildup that cements Fisher’s reputation as a monster of the party.

Florida’s Black V Neck first showed up on our radar last year with the Birdfeed exclusive ‘Stop N Go’, and the guys make their official debut on Dirtybird with their two-track EP, ’Mouth Music’.

It’s hard to call either of these a B-side since they’re both massive. On ‘Mouth Music’ the guys expertly craft vocal scats and bits over heavy low-end kicks and bass; super fun and unique.

If ‘Mouth Music’ is the happy buddy next door, the second track, “Sex, Drugs, Alcohol”, is your bad influence friend that your parents warned you about. Made for dark places and big rooms.

Dirtybird’s new wonderkid, Cour T., is back with another house EP, “Drum Machine”. We’re once again blown away by this young producer whose productions sound like someone who’s been in the studio for years.

<b>Breach - Jack</b>

I had dinner with Breach in London and he told me "Hey, I have a track that is really dirtybird. I would put it out but its really sounding right for you guys." I took this with a grain of salt but then I heard "Let's Get Hot" and I found out he was right. It's got the swagger and the sound. It makes girls grind their asses into boys crotches on the dancefloor. Perfect. Signed. 

So I then asked him to make something even more sexual, thinking it would be ages before I got something back. 10 days later the A-side came back to me as a 2 minute clip while i was on the train to warehouse project in Manchester. I liked it so much that i edited it on the train to stretch it out to 5 minute. As expected, it slayed the room and the final version Breach has delivered is one of the best records of the year in my opinion. With the simple title of "Jack" you can see for yourself when you play it. This is the real deal.

Love,
VonStroke

Who's Afraid of Detroit? by Claude VonStroke

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".
