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".

LA's S&Him move fast, spin relentlessly, and carry a set of big 
decks. In a world where everything sounds the same, this orgasmic duo 
of bleeps and beats takes the mold, shreds it thinner than grated 
parmesan, and then smokes it.
 
Dance floors love the energy that exudes from the fingertips of these dedicated dj's. Frantic, naked gatherings are the norm, as boundaries are shattered, stereotypes laid to waste, and bodies pummeled to an extent that would inspire another Star Spangled Banner.
 
What makes them different from any other LA male/female duo, you 
may ask?  Exactly.  Not only are they one of a kind in their chosen genre, 
but they have evolved so fast it would make Darwin spin in his grave.  
   From their humble beginnings at a little club in Long Beach 22 years ago, 
S&Him have spread out all over the country like a sick joke that has audiences begging 
for the punchline night after night. New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas,
San Diego, Cleveland and Columbus have all felt the ill effects of the end of an S&Him set.  
Withdrawal symptoms most commonly include The Jones for more of what they've brought to the tables:  The steady evolution of a DJ tag team that's more substance than style.
 
And in LA, let alone the DJ world in general, that's a bum rush CPR jolt to the musical soul.

DJ Bradley (Bradley Fitzhenry, LOCALMOTIVE) is a DJ’s DJ and a 25 year veteran of the West coast underground house scene. He has headlined club  and underground events throughout the US (including San Francisco, LA, New York and Chicago) and has produced over 250 parties in San Francisco (sp0rk, Groovesector, Funkengruven) and Fresno (re:fuse, WinterWonderland, Metropolis, d & s, Sunday Sessions at 2039, Tasty, Antidote, Hothouse, Focus (Fresno), Nectar, Aftersessions, Groovejet, Deep & Funky). Expect to hear Bradley’s signature bass-heavy adventurous sound as he navigates the deeper side of house and techno.

Thee-O started DJing at the young age of 13 and by the time he was 18 in 1992, he started DJing in the thriving underground rave scene of Southern California. He has created a name for himself while changing genres and staying true to his integrity, committing to what he feels is the best in underground dance music. His consistency of skillful mixing and lively scratching has cemented “his sound” regardless of what genres co-mingle in his style.

In addition to his DJing, Thee-O is also an accomplished producer and remixer that have landed tracks on Bedrock, Suara, Perfecto, Looq, Drops and System Recordings to name just a few. His approach to music production mimics his DJing artistry in the aspect that genre comes second over the feeling of the music. Genres and styles are split, shattered and then reformed into songs that work on multiple dance floors.

Recently, he was DJing and producing with Robert Pointer (AKA Robtronik) under the name Stylus. Stylus is also responsible for some of the most engaging events to occur in Los Angeles . Their events have occurred in amazing venues such as King King in the heart of Hollywood, The Standard Rooftop in downtown LA and Los Globos in the trendy Silverlake area, while attracting international talent of both House and Techno to join in on the fun. Thee-O also continues to work with the LA Based "re:love" crew to plan and execute the legendary park parties as well as pushing the brand to extend itself into new venues and opportunities.

As of January 2019, Thee-O has relocated to Honolulu. He is already DJing on the islands and has played for events at venues like Nextdoor and Hawaiian Brian’s as well as the Tropical Oasis Retreat in Maui. While he is on the islands, the slower pace of life will allow him to work on music with less distractions and should increase his output. 

While a lot can be talked about when it comes to “Old School,” Thee-O walks the walk. He has accomplished a lot in his 24 years of being a DJ, producer and promoter and he is just getting started. He remains wildly popular while staying firmly planted into the underground scene and not falling into the hype that can surround the current EDM culture. With a new island home, new ventures, new branding, new tracks, and new ideas, the future is going to be one for the books with lots more to come from this music innovator.
