Claude VonStroke and Catz ’n Dogz have known each other for ages and both have remixed each other in the past, and they come together again for the “Raggadagga” EP. The veteran producers’ decades of experience come together for two completely different sounding pieces of music.

“Raggadagga” is a beast - a driving and relentless attention-grabber from the first note, with a vocal chant that puts you in the middle of a tribal gathering.

If ‘Raggadagga’ is the beast, then “How I Make You Feel” is the beauty - a warm and intimate deep house track filled with layers and emotions.

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".
