Quest - A long or arduous search for something.

Debut album "Gala" out 30. October  



Everything evolves. Music, people, style, fashion, art, events, thought, ideas, inspiration, etc. d1rt m@ll is a new project derived from the evolution of all those things. Brainchild of scene veteran and DJ J.C. Hanna, it’s the culmination of 20+ years in the music industry and refusing to be pigeonholed into just one style, classification, or genre. Highly influenced by his 90s Chicago rave roots, he’s always had an affinity for everything from ghetto/booty/electro/acid/juke/techno as well as a love for 80s & 90s hip hop and pop music. The definition of “dirt mall” is: A place of business where used goods are made available at bargain prices, a flea market; and this is the approach that J.C. is flipping into musical repertoire. Taking bits and pieces from all his favorite artists and genres from the past and present and transforming them into his own new style that’s strictly focused on the dancefloor, the future, and putting the fun back into music.
