dirtybird Summer EP
Available on Beatport 7/18/12
Available Worldwide 7/31/12

And we're off! Who has the lucky task of following up Justin Martin's epic Ghettos & Gardens album? It's a sampler called "dirtybird summer" celebrating the sounds and sunshine of this year's amazing summer season. 

Track one of this diverse four parter is a melodic overture by the Munnibrotherz from South Africa who debuted on dirtybird last year with the hit record "Moon Chon Chayouh." Track two is a dirtybird virgin, Nick Olivetti. Some of you have probably heard me drop his track "Hectic Guitar" at some point on the road this year, it was a big part of my live sets. This new one "Jump Up" is just as deadly and even more focused on the super heavy grooves Nick is so good at producing.
 
Track three is a really fun db style party track by Genghis Clan. Its got the big build up and the fun vox samples but the drop is pure house music and pure summer groove. It really works, especially outdoors. Last but not least are my buddies from Bristol, Waifs & Strays who are also making a debut on dirtybird with "Lost In The Party." This is kind of like a nu-disco style track if the producers were from Bristol and grew up on filthy basslines and roast dinners. Its also got elements of Detroit techno. Simple and effective I like to say..

Enjoy,

Munnibrotherz - 3 Degrees [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".
