JonPaul:



-How long have you been creating music?

 1 year



-What do you use to make your tracks?

Ableton 



-How and when did you first discover Dirtybird?

I first discovered DirtBird when Christian Martin came to Asylum in Honolulu, and I was throwing a Hilton Lagoon party and Christian came down to my Lagoon party and threw down a dope set. From then on, I always was a DirtyBird Die Hard!!



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

Christian Martin 



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

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button because I’ve done almost everything backwards in my life



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

Grateful Dead at Giant Stadium



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

Back to the past when I first started to make music before Ableton with cakewalk and would have made myself continue making music and not stop until a year ago.



-What species of bird best describes you and why?

Eagle because I’m always looking for the next prey (opportunity)



-What does Dirtybird mean to you?

It means fun, amazing talented artists, dedication, professionalism and inspirational and it is my goal to be part of such an amazing Label!!!



Mettā Atom:



-How long have you been creating music?

Started electronic music school in 2013 where I took my first classes in Ableton. Almost 10 years! 



-What do you use to make your tracks?

Ableton mostly, in the box or Pro3, and or recording live instruments. 



-How and when did you first discover Dirtybird?

I heard about it after hearing Claude VonStroke had (or was starting) a label; It's been so long. Thinking back now, it's like a dream. Helps me see even deeper appreciation! I remember all my producer friends raving about it with me, DJs too, since the before of my Ableton education, as a little grom DJ, thank you! 



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

Claude VonStroke! Oh me oh my. That would be a blessing. Please make it happen, producer gods, someone! :) 



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

Somewhere between 'Good Will Hunting' and 'Limitless.'  



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

Lovefest in Honolulu back in high school (2010), or Electric Zoo in NYC or Coachella. I also really enjoy reggae, there were a few local concerts way back that I will always remember... somehow. :P 



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

The future, whenever we can play sets in other star systems and collaborate with extraterrestrials. :D 





-What species of bird best describes you and why?

A raven or mocking bird. I've been told they are some of my spirit animals (the other is a seal). I like to prank and make jokes, but I'm also mysterious and deep like I grew up with Edgar Allen Poe as my little brother and Odin was our dad.  



-What does Dirtybird mean to you?

High quality, unique, and inspiring. I've always wanted to make music for Dirtybird. Feeling blessed! Hard work pays off!

YO! I made this little monster with homie Kevin Knapp for my fave label's 10th birthday! Here's what Claude Vonstroke has to say about the release:

"I can't think of a better way to celebrate DIRTYBIRD's 10 year anniversary than by releasing 14 great tracks that I fully support. There’s no fluff in here. Everyone from our amazing talent pool has delivered their A game material. And l have also added a few great new names to the family. 

It’s hard to believe that this little project started in my bedroom in the Lower Haight, San Francisco 10 years ago. I can distinctly remember hand stamping vinyl promos at home with my friend Fernando and trying to figure out the best way to mail them to Europe. I remember the very first guy to ever call me back about our music was Edgar Dirksen in Frankfurt, Germany, who was working at a now defunct distributor called Neuton. This was the only place that would agree to sell our records back in 2005 and I still thank him for taking the chance on us. 

There have been many many people involved since the beginning. Special thanks to all who have helped me run the shop at different times such as my wife Aundy, Mike Bosley, Christian Martin, Adam Carter, Sharen Norden, Bryan James, Luke Williams, Jonathan McDonald, Alastair Duncan and Stacey Gamble. Of course I couldn’t have done it without my good friend and the amazing music producer, Justin Martin, who helped shape our sound and also really define what it means to be part of DIRTYBIRD. 

A lot has happened in the music industry over the last 10 years but I like to think we have stayed consistent and managed to enjoy the ride. The players may change but the theme stays the same; keep it fun and funky. So please enjoy this very special compilation of our music and here’s to another 10 years of DIRTYBIRD!

Much Love,
Claude VonStroke"


Sacha Robotti & Kevin Knapp :: "THUMP BUMPER" - Dirtybird

It's not a surprise that the two would gel, both thanks to their happy-go-lucky ​personalities and their thunderous, bass beat sounds. After working in the studio together, what's arrived is a two-track EP titled 'Ol' Dirty Hearts', an ode not only to each of their label homes (Desert Hearts and Dirtybird), but also to the rare sample from rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard on the title track.

Free download of the full 'Ol' Dirty Hearts' EP: http://bit.ly/dirtyheartswav

Premiere: Mikey Lion & Sacha Robotti 'Ol' Dirty Hearts'

Lee Reynolds, Desert Hearts' resident patriarch, has teamed up with Memo Rex for a cerebral, tech-driven EP. 

'The Seven Principles' arrives on July 18, but is available for a limited free download here: dncgastrnt.co/pzg0

Premiere: Lee Reynolds & Memo Rex - The Seven Principles (Original Mix)

For their last release this year, SNOE turns to the US and invites label friends and rising stars RYBO and Fritz Carlton. When these two quirky badass bros come together you know you are in for a treat, which is exactly what you get with “Eggo EP”. The title track strikes from the first beat hitting you with the strong and dirty synth twisting and turning along with the energetic percussions. “Sedated” has a drier style and lights up the dance floor with its intense, groove focused rhythms and excellent synth elements.

What's Up Desert Hearts Family,

Back once again on the label is boss man Mikey Lion with a single called The Way You're Wrong.

Featuring slick guitar riffs, dubbed piano chords, and pattering percussion, Mikey puts together a cut that embellishes his deeper, romantic side.

In Mikey's own words: "This song is about the emotion we feel when we're in a fight with a loved one. I wanted it to strike an emotional chord with the listener, particularly being from a woman's point of view. I think we all can resonate when fighting with a loved one because they're often the fights that impact us the most. When they're resolved they often make us stronger."

House, Techno, Love... We Are All Desert Hearts.
