The year was 2020. People had no problem rubbing sweaty elbows at clubs, sharing drinks, traveling on planes, or eating at packed indoor restaurants, and the only time anyone wore a mask was Halloween. That also was the year Dirtybird turned 15 and Claude VonStroke released his 4th studio album, “Freaks & Beaks”, with a world tour planned that would touch every part of the globe.
After launching the album to a packed Dirtybird Art show in downtown LA, Claude hit the road. Just after an epic Berlin date at Katerblau and a crazy night at Fabric London, the entire world changed forever. Claude was forced to come back to LA and no one left their house for over a year.
Fortunately, the world has healed quite a bit and a new normal has taken shape, so we thought it was time to revisit the album with fresh interpretations from remixers hand-picked by Claude.
With each adding their own unique stamp, the range and genres goes end-to-end. VNSSA brings her main-room energy on “These Notes In This Order”, Rodriguez Jr. goes deep on the acid-tinged Youngblood, Nikki Nair’s ridiculous production skills are on display for “Flubblebuddy”, Steve Darko takes the low end even lower for “All My People”, while Shiba San teams up with French producer, Millad, for a banger, and we tracked down the French producer, Frankie, who was the inspiration for “Frankie Goes to Hollywood” and brought him out of retirement to remix his namesake track. 
It’s good to be back.

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".
