From the earliest days of the scene in the '90s to today, Frivolous Jackson is an artist who has been completely infatuated with everything related to dance music and rave culture. Getting his footing in the Chicago House scene back in the day, he caught a number of groundbreaking acts early on before drumming up enough money to buy some decks of his own. Since then he hasn't looked back with a plethora of releases under different aliases, as well as a handful of imprints to help foster growth as well.

Frivolous Jackson cut his teeth during the Jackin' House resurgence that happened in the mid-'00s, dropping heaters as The Sound Republic, Frankie J, and Francis Jilla, the latter of which was his bootleg alias. Additionally, he pushed forward with Spatula City and Flapjack Records, the two labels he founded during that time as well. But duty calls and when he decided to begin a family he put his all into that aspect of his life, until his kids grew more independent and he could make a return.

Now, Frivolous Jackson has done just that with a flurry of fresh releases to mark his arrival back on the scene, as well as a freshly minted label called iSH that he helps run with Torrfisk as well. And you'll often find him in Golf Clap's Country Club Disco Community on Facebook as well, as he took on the role of Admin to help keep that thriving group flourishing.

After hearing his recent remix of SLATIN's "Put That iPhone Down" and seeing the onslaught of tunes he's dropped as of late, when the opportunity arose to chat with Frivolous Jackson we jumped at the chance. So check out his exclusive guest mix and click the link for the conversation to dive into the mind of this passionate house music artist.

Read The Interview!

Rising Chicago-based artist CLB teams up with Codes to release a sizzling new Holy Molé single titled 'Need Your Love' including remixes in tow from Mark Starr, FREAK ON, Ocean Roulette, and a roller mix by CLB.

Codes and CLB spice up 'Need Your Love' with snappy hi-hats, sultry vocal hooks, and a rolling bassline underneath to keep the track bouncing along nicely.

Spacey reverbs bring Mark Starr's remix to funky town with brassy cymbals and a commanding breakdown. Wobbling sonics and chopped up vocals take over in FREAK ON's bumping remix. Meanwhile, Ocean Roulette blankets his edit in oddly infectious energy from start to finish, sending the bass down way low. CLB's Roller Mix rounds out the package with serious drum and bass swagger.

[BIRDFEED EXCLUSIVE] Buddy Kingdumb Name debuts on the Feed with “Emotion with Rhythm”!


How long have you been creating music?

Since I was around 12 or 13, I was introduced to the Harmonium which is like a small Indian piano probably at around 9 years old.



What do you use to make your tracks?

I use Ableton Live which I love, loads of different plugins and a few outboard pieces - I have a Korg M1, Microkorg and Kawai K4. I also have an analogue desk and valve preamp I use to warm stuff up sometimes! I trust my Audeze headphones like mad too - they come highly recommended.



How and when did you first discover Dirtybird?

Probably around 10 years ago. I heard a track by Eats Everything and checked out more of the Dirtybird stuff and really liked what it was all about.



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

I’d probably say Eats Everything because he is a fellow UK producer and was my intro into the label all that time ago.



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

A Beautiful Mind - sometimes I’m clever and sometimes I’m a bit stupid (that’s where the name Kingdumb comes from) and like everyone, sometimes happy, sometimes sad! We all have beautiful minds though.



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

I’m not that big into Indian music but it has to be a Ravi Shankar and Zakhir Hussain concert - the most renowned sitar player and tabla player in the world. They played amazing stuff and it was all improvisation - there was a huge battle between the players to showcase the crazy skills between them. It was like an MC cypher on steroids!



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

I think I’d like to see the UK 100 years from now. Technology in the last 100 years has developed like crazy, I’d love to see where technology and humanity is headed.



What species of bird best describes you and why?

Probably an Eagle. When it comes to DJing I love to go for the jugular whilst showing good technical ability.



What does Dirtybird mean to you?

Beats, Bass and Fun!

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".
