"Abyss - a deep or seemingly bottomless chasm"

The aptly named title track of Steve Darko's latest Dirtybird EP is both weird and wonderful. Eerily lush atmospheres layered with haunting melodic analog synths create strong emotions and showcase why he is one of the best producers on the label. 

"Stay Awake" has similar moody energy with more upbeat percussion and an extremely creative build up that makes you feel like a train just passed you by at 300 mph with a broken wheel.

When you know, you know.

Once we heard Dillion Marinez’s “Wormhole” for the first time, we knew it was a special one. A simple concept with massive appeal, the indescribable and unmistakable ‘wormhole’ sound instantly stops you dead in your tracks. You’ll want to listen and dance to it over and over again. 

“Facelift”, is the b-side — a deep, rolling burner to complement the intensity of the title track.

Truly special.

Both Nikki Nair & Nala have had breakout years on Dirtybird. Now they come together on the next installment of our experimental White Label series with "The World is Always Ending.” Nikki’s futuristic productions alongside Nala’s dynamic vocal range highlight these two songs on opposite ends of the spectrum. The frenetic, breakbeat and filtered vocal of “Escape”, is a combo of nasty electro and hardcore jungle distortion. The title track is a modernized twist on Sneaker Pimps and Chemical Brothers vibes resulting in one of the coolest singles on the label this year.

After 17 years of releasing music, Dirtybird Records has put out an extensive range of genres and styles, including creating some of our own. While we’re often known for peak time bangers, we also appreciate and love the deeper side of music, and we selected some choice tracks from our catalog for “Deep Cutz”.
