DIRTYBIRD BBQ Tour Tickets: http://j.mp/DBBBQ2015

The DIRTYBIRD BBQs have become something I look forward to almost more than anything else we do at the label.  The special daytime sets allow for more risk taking and more bass music to sneak into the house music that usually gets played at night. I’m really looking forward to Grill$on cooking me a burger this summer and rocking out with the fans.  Check out these great tracks that range all the way from really funny to serious ass shakers.

Ardalan - It Doesn't Want [PREVIEW]

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".

Love people, culture, traveling and trying new things.
Music saved my life 😉

At 17, Complex Theory embarked on a journey he never intended to take. In 1999, his mother gave him his first set of turntables, as an early graduation gift, what she really gave him was the gift of expression. Complex Theory aka Jonathan Reeves began DJing in Columbia, SC. His belief in DJing is, "Im always looking to take constructive criticism, and pointers from anyone. The one thing I learned early on was, if you dont listen to what people have to say, then you will get stale, lose the love, and never push harder." Keeping this in mind, Jonathan began branching out to many other clubs in Columbia, Rock Hill, and Myrtle Beach, SC. In 2003, Jonathan grew tired of the normal day to day college life and found he might be better suited for other endeavors in the US Army. "I was working full time, sitting in class, and DJing part time to stay afloat.Oh, and drinking. He enlisted, left DJing as a memory, sold his equipment, and immediately deployed to Iraq from Fort Bliss within 2 weeks of arrival as Military Police. Jonathan said "I was so lost. Here I am, just barely able to legally drink, and now I'm holding a rifle in the middle of Baghdad. I didn't know what to think, except just get home.".  In 2005, while stationed in El Paso, TX a chance meeting led Jonathan back to music. In 2005, while in a music forum, he ran into the former owner of Dust Traxx Chicago. Charles and Jonathan became close friends and encouraged Jonathan to begin DJing again with a mutual friend of his. After a 2 year break, Jonathan was once again drawn back into DJing. He began playing several different venues in El Paso, TX. He played anywhere and everywhere he could just to play. In 2006, Jonathan voluntarily deployed once again to Iraq and never touched the decks again. In 2011, after struggles from his combat experiences, a stressful job as a Recruiter, and no healthy outlets, he once again returned to music simply, as he puts it "to find the closest alternative to an adrenaline rush of combat that I get when I crush a set...except without all the explosions, rounds, and heavy ass gear..." He now resides in Columbia, SC, as a disabled combat veteran and married with his 15 year old son and 11 year old daughter...who is already getting the itch to learn. "My son, Mason, must be either standing next to me when I play at home, or directly behind me, or he's pissed...unless I drop a track he digs and then he's jamming and getting down to it..."
