[BIRDFEED EXCLUSIVE]  Good Neighbor debuts on the Feed with “Bruh”!



-How long have you been creating music?

I started creating house music 3 years ago.



-What do you use to make your tracks?

In the box only, for now: I use Ableton Live, a midi controller and solid plugins.



-How and when did you first discover Dirtybird?

The first time I heard Dirtybird’s music was back when I was living in France. I stumbled randomly upon the Hatched Volume 2 comp (2012), and that Kill Frenzy track, Booty Clap, sounded like nothing I’ve ever heard before. I dug quite a bit and I have followed the label ever since.



-Which Dirtybird artist would you want to collaborate with the most?

Definitely Cour T. 



-If your entire life was a movie, what title would best describe you?

Science, house music and diapers (directed by Wes Anderson).



-What’s the best concert you’ve ever been to?

Overall, it has to be Daft Punk, Alive Tour in France. But the best Dirtybird related event I’ve done was by far that Walker and Royce set at Campout 2017. They played almost all the songs from their upcoming LP at that time and the vibes were unmatched.



-If you could time travel, where and when would you go?

Sometimes in the 60ies to catch all the classic rock bands live.



-What species of bird best describes you and why?

The Storks of Alsace, the region of France where I come from. I grew up observing them during the summer. 



-What does Dirtybird mean to you?

To me, it's first a forward-thinking house music label that cares about pushing music in their direction no matter the current trends. It’s all the more important today. But Dirtybird also has the best community of amazing artists and fans throughout the world. They created something very unique and respected in many aspects, and it's a real pleasure to join the flock!

[BIRDFEED EXCLUSIVE] IPI debuts on the Feed with “Picante”!

-How long have you been creating music?
I’m creating music since the early 2000’s, back then it was just for fun and i wasn’t really serious in achieving something. Than i had a break for some years where i was focusing on other things but somehow there were always periods where i felt a deep need to create music. Since 2019 now i am creating music every day and i love it!

-What do you use to make your tracks?
I use Ableton, lots of Plugins and some Hardware Gear to create my music. I have an old Jen SX 10000 Synthesizer from the late 70’s that i really like, the EMU Xtreme Lead 1, and some other stuff like the Roland Boutique machines.

-How and when did you first discover Dirtybird?
I think the first time a Dirtybird release caught my attention was in the early 2000’s when i bought the ep called „Deep Throat“ by Claude von Stroke. I used to play it a lot.

-Which Dirtybird artist would you want to collaborate with the most?
I guess that would be Claude as I really like his productions a lot and he inspires me the most. 

-If your entire life was a movie, what title would best describe you?
Surprise Motherfuckers

-What’s the best concert you’ve ever been to?
That’s very funny because just yesterday i drove 200 km with my wife to see Nils Frahm in Eindhoven, Netherlands and i was completely blown away by his genius and his performance. During the concert i was thinking that this is the best i have ever heart in my life. I highly recommend listening to him life because it’s absolutely amazing!!!

-If you could time travel, where and when would you go?
Probably i would go to California in the late 50’/ early 60’s to see the growth and development of the Hippie and Rock ’n Roll era. My father is a huge Rock n Roll Fan and i grew up with that music.

-What species of bird best describes you and why?
I’m definitely an early bird, as i love the morning and stand up pretty early. Other than that i would probably be a seagull as i love being at the sea and people sometimes consider me as a bit cheeky.

-What does Dirtybird mean to you?
It’s a great honor for me to be part of the label because i am following Dirtybird from the first, or maybe third release on and i used to play this records a lot. There are not so many labels that are there for so long and admire and respect the music and the passion behind it.

[BIRDFEED EXCLUSIVE]  Ed Hoffman & Barbara debuts on the Feed with “Feet Money”!

-How long have you been creating music? 

Ed: I’ve been writing music since I was in high school, but I really got into writing more dance music starting in 2018.I started collaborating with Barbara in 2021 when I moved back to SF from the east coast.

Barbara: Like a lot of artists, I grew up in a very music-filled family and home. My grandpa was a saxophone player who tried to teach me piano, flute, and every instrument he could until I realized I could sing, and my voice became my main instrument. I didn’t start officially creating music until I moved to NY in 2016, ~7 years ago, through DJ mixes and learning Ableton. Made my first-ever album in 2022, Palm Dreams, after 100s of voice memos, drum beats, and Ableton experiments I created.

-What do you use to make your tracks?
Ed: I primarily use Ableton, but I have a few different hardware synths I like to sprinkle in, especially my Arturia microfreak.

Barbara: Voice memos, notes, Ableton, and a great microphone. I use my Arturia keyboard, lots of plugins (Endless Smile, Valhalla Vintage Verb, Autotune, etc.) and have an older Ableton Push that I sometimes use.

-How and when did you first discover Dirtybird?

Ed: I first discovered Dirtybird at a DB BBQ in nyc 2015. It was so different than anything else I was listening to at the time; the crowd was so nice, and I was sucked right in.

Barbara: My first-ever Ableton teacher, Tony Grund, Instructor at SAE, Editor at Nervous Records and part of the Renegade Masters crew, first introduced me to Dirtybird. The first track I heard was Justin Martin’s Don’t Go and fell in love. I have to really thank him for showing me some incredible artists and labels like Dirtybird, full of new sounds and artists being fun and taking risks. It has influenced my sound a lot. The track on Dirtybird that I am obsessed with these days is Shake Your Hearts by Scavazza. I probably listen to it once a day. 



-Which Dirtybird artist would you want to collaborate with the most?

Ed: There are so many amazing artists on Dirtybird, but ever since I heard her music, I’ve wanted to collaborate with Nala.

Barbara: Tie between Scavazza and Catz ‘n Dogz.



-If your entire life was a movie, what title would best describe you?

Barbara: “Good Crazy”

Ed: “What is Happening?”



-What’s the best concert you’ve ever been to?

Barbara: Nicolas Jaar, Brooklyn Steel, 2017

Ed: Kaskade Redux in nyc in 2019. The music was amazing, and it was so cool to feel so much energy with such a minimal setup. 



-If you could time travel, where and when would you go?

Barbara: 1970s Studio 54 

Ed: I’d like to go to the Cretaceous period and see if T-Rex had feathers.



-What species of bird best describes you and why?

Barbara: Penguins because they like to have fun, sing and dance, bounce on rocks and are smart, so loving and cute

Ed: I’d be a peacock, not just for the beauty but because they escape their pens at the zoo.



-What does Dirtybird mean to you?

Barbara: A community of crazy, fun, super talented risk taskers and a home for experimenting and breaking new sounds. Where pushing boundaries is the norm and people feel free to be 100% themselves. It’s such an honor to release one of my first tracks with my good friend and collaborator, Ed Hoffman, on a label I’ve always admired. 

Ed: An environment where I can genuinely be myself and let my freak feathers fly.

Ed Hoffman & Barbara - Feet Money [BIRDFEED]

This man needs no introduction, but we’ll give him one anyway - we have one of this year’s favourite 'BOC-Boys' Simenga back in the hot seat! With a production output faster and stronger than a Daft Punk hit record, he has delivered yet ANOTHER 3 track EP worthy of the most hyped dance floors.

The Be Alright EP starts off with the chunky monster of a record Fine Days, a journey from strange to weird that takes a bunch of unexpected turns while keeping the groove locked with a super infectious vocal cut. The flip has you closing your eyes and grinding your teeth with Satisfaction, a wobbly submerged techno romper. Please let us add that this is the first time the word 'satisfaction' has been used correctly since Benny Benassi.

The final track Turn is really where our heads start to explode. How can one producer have so much talent to nail a funky house record too? Nothing is out of reach for this guy and we love it. We wanna smother ourselves in Simenga butter and go sliding around the house.

There is absolutely no doubt Simenga is going to have a massive 2024, and let this one absolutely destroy floors for you this coming holiday period!

Simenga - Satisfaction

This is my most ambitious and unique track yet. I've always loved the excitement we feel during the transition between songs in a Dj set and I wanted to capture that feeling in my live show within one song by creating a track that has three distinct chapters that it transitions through. I wanted each chapter to have a different, texture, vibe and emotion but for the three chapters to add up to an overall hypnotic journey. Altitude is about taking the high road through all of life's ups and downs

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".
