THIS IS DIRTYBIRD - Part 1

Claude VonStroke & Marc Houle have known each other for over 25 years; Claude growing up in Detroit and Marc just across the river in Windsor. Trading software and sample CDs with each other, music was the foundation of their friendship. While they never really made music together until now, both went on individual journeys and each has achieved the highest level of success in their genre.

"Fly Guy" is the new collaboration between old friends.  Marc sent over an old file that Claude loved, but they both realized it needed to be updated to 2020. The track references back to an older, funkier techno vibe they both love, while updating the production and adding a couple of winks in the process.  It's the ideal combination of Marc’s stripped-down, propelling techno brain and the production funk of Claude. Clearly, you can hear the influence of their early days in the midwest reflected throughout.

To compliment the collaboration and to lend further support of longtime friendship, Claude also a remix of Marc’s “Arizona” from his 2020 artist album, “No One Knows”,  that originally came out on his home label Item & Things for a b-side banger.

Spain’s Alberto Segador first appeared on our radar back in 2019 with his Birdfeed Exclusive track, ‘Helena’. He’s been Dj’ing since he was 13 and has been making a career out of it the past 8 years. He sent in “This Is House” which blew up on our Sunday livestream, getting a huge and well deserved fan reaction.

For the B-side, “Tropical Parrot” has a more minimal direction with shuffling beats and sparse synth sounds throughout.

Spain’s Fer Br has made a couple of appearances on our Birdfeed, and we “W3lcome” him to the main label with this wicked EP. The title tracks thumping bassline and positive vocal messages of ‘Joy, Hope, Peace, Compassion, Unity, Inspiration” are all things we could use a lot more of in this world. “Caleidoscope” complements the funk with a more tech-focused and acid-tinged groove.

We’ve had a lot of unique collaborations on the label, but it’s not every day that we get three top Dirtybird artists that come together in the studio for one super-sized track. Yet, that’s exactly what happened with “Drummer Loco” from Mat.Joe, Kevin Knapp and Maximono.  Living in the same city of Berlin helps, as these three took advantage of the geography and were able to pump out this amazingly funky jam.

Claude VonStroke and Catz ’n Dogz have known each other for ages and both have remixed each other in the past, and they come together again for the “Raggadagga” EP. The veteran producers’ decades of experience come together for two completely different sounding pieces of music.

“Raggadagga” is a beast - a driving and relentless attention-grabber from the first note, with a vocal chant that puts you in the middle of a tribal gathering.

If ‘Raggadagga’ is the beast, then “How I Make You Feel” is the beauty - a warm and intimate deep house track filled with layers and emotions.

In a reality that wasn’t too long ago, we’d all be packing up our tents and supplies and headed out for our favorite weekend of the year, Dirtybird Campout. Well unless you’re listening to this on another planet (we wish we were there with you), we all know how 2020 turned out.

But in keeping with the spirit of Campout, we still have our game face on and presenting a 7 day virtual festival on our recently launched Dirtybrd TV channel along with our annual compilation, “Couchout”.

Campout has always been about our favorite artists playing games with the other campers, so it’s only appropriate that we kick things off with head Camp Counselor Claude VonStroke’s collaboration with newcomer Mike Kerrigan, “I Caught A Vibe”.

The rest of the compilation is packed with music from VNSSA, DJ Glen & Bruno Furlan, Codes & Truth x Lies, Robot Love, Jynx, Mitch Dodge, E.R.N.E.S.T.O, Dutch Dannis, Sam Shelby, Nick Siarom, Arnold & Lane and an artist you are about to hear a lot more from, Nikki Nair.

See you on the Couch!
