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".

Hailing from Germany’s prolific Rhein-Main area, Frankfurt’s M.in gained his momentum as global player over the last 2-3 years. As producer, DJ, label head and booking agency owner his modern house and techhouse-style clearly owes to the Frankfurt heritage, yet M.in never claimed that promotional tag. He’s sitting firmly in the driver’s seat when it comes to his very own style. You can easily dub his beats trademark, bowing to the craftsmanship M.in has developed and refined with his dozens of releases. 

His artist name playfully quotes the minimalism that ruled for long time in German electronics. In fact, M.ins tracks are far from minimal. The only minimal formulae is his credo demanding “the groove to carry the whole track from the core”. From there on, anything can happen! And M.in is known to churn out tracks that conquer hearts and souls with various ingredients: groove, swing, bite, humour and musicality.  „Every track has to have a vibe first““, he says. Well, easy to sign that partition... yet hard to accomplish the task M.in so easily masters. 

M.in’s tracks flow organic and uplifting. With influences from Afrobeat, Latin or his beloved swinging jazz, teaming up with that straight draw of a mighty lowered kick drum and bass. M.in can pair any sound with his down to earth grooves, showcasing open mindedness, curiosity and the sheer lust to experiment with uncommon sounds.

International DJ and peaktime club producer, DJ Madskillz aka Gertjan Schonewille has been stoking up the dancefloor ovens for  decades now, fuelling the party crowds with his relentless energy for dynamic tech-house sets and dedicated dance releases and remixes.    

It was in 1998 that Madskillz and club turntables first met – igniting a connection that has sent him spinning around the globe since.  Mashing techno and techhouse, his sets bring the Amsterdam heat, blistering clubfloors and leaving the dance tribes feverish in party hotspots such as Tokyo’s Womb, Manchester’s Sankeys, Berlin’s Watergate, Vienna’s Pratersauna, Leed’s Mint Club and Munich’s Harry Klein.  Closer to home you’ll find him powering the dance action across The Netherlands as well as at festival greats such as Dance Valley, Welcome to the Future and Mysteryland.

New technologies have given a sonic thrust to Madskillz’s sets,  he’s continuously pioneering fresh audio treats and breaking conventional sound barriers, taking the party vibe from the regular tunes tour to a Madskillz sound sensation. 
Where ever he performs, his sets captivate the crowds and send them soaring on a hard-hitting sound adventure with dance mayhem as the final destination.   

Whereas his own dance music journey began in 1991 when he joined production forces with 2000 and One to form ‘Edge of Motion’ and release ‘Set up 707’. That ultimate acid house classic marked the beginning of an impressive discography of more than 100 releases, highlights including his 2009 EP dance slammer ‘Surface’ on Bitten as well as his 2010 remix of ‘Air Miles’ with 2000 and One that flew them up the Beatport charts to claim the number one spot with Amsterdam’s new school sound.

Although living in the Dutch capital, some of the hottest techno and techhouse labels that have become his 2nd home include 100% Pure, Remote Area, Bitten, Noir Music, Mobilee Records, Great Stuff Recordings …… And with remixes for a whole bunch of iconic friends such as Axwell, Christian Smith, Roger Sanchez, 2000 and One, Rainer Weichhold, Gregor Tresher, Underworld and Bob Sinclar – there’s clearly a lot of justified hype for Madskillz tunes and treatments. 

With a fiercely loyal international following for his ‘beat with balls’ music, Madskillz’s infectiously energetic tech house performances always turn up the heat.

 …… and as Frank Sinatra once said “Don’t get even, Get Mad”
