Like Christmas, Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day, the release of the yearly dirtybird compilation is a tradition that we’ve collectively grown to love, a chance to dust off the wintry blues with some jackin’ funk, ghetto filth and general booty bass house madness.

2014’s compilation promises to be a particularly apt way to usher in the Spring season, as it sees the release of the inaugural BBQ edition. BBQs have always held a special place in the heart of the dirtybird mantra, it was during the now near-mythical Golden Gate BBQ’s in San Francisco, that the four original dirtybird members (Christian Martin, Claude VonStroke, Justin Martin and Worthy) came together and hatched their dastardly plan for world domination based on bass-driven funk, sweaty house and booty-poppin’ techno.

You can catch Dirtybird players; Justin Martin, Catz n’ Dogz & Danny Daze next Saturday, February 15th at Insomniac presents Inception for the first installment of Justin Martin’s bi-monthly residency. You are not going to want to miss this epic evening of masterfully curated proper house programming!
