BIOGRAPHY

Innovating in several styles of electronic music and bringing a live PA recognized as one of the most energetic and creative to be seen, Dirtyphonics is now a worldwide phenomenon that you can’t ignore.

With an incredible production level, a unique way to mix and blend different genres (electro, drum and bass, dubstep, hip hop…) and a “best newcomers producers” award under their belt, Dirtyphonics is with no doubt one of the most exciting bands in today’s electronic scene.

“If you’ve seen these five French originators live, you have witnessed the future of live drum & bass performance that leaves competitors in the dust.” Knowledge Magazine

Playte, Capskod, Pitch In, Pho and MC Youthstar started travelling the world in 2006 with their incomparable live act, combining the efficiency of a DJ set to the spirit and energy of a rock concert.

In 2008, the band takes a new scope when “French Fuck” gets signed to Shimon’s label (AudioPorn). Immediately after its release, the 12” climbs the charts to reach the first place and stays number one for a couple of weeks.

“In this day and age and with how far we’ve come with music, it’s hard to do something new and that’s exactly what they’d done right from the start.” Shimon

Quickly after, comes out a series of 12”s, appearing systematically in the top 10 charts.

“Quarks” and it’s audacious rhythm pattern caused a revolution in drum and bass and has inspired lots of producers. On the same EP (“The Quarks EP”) the band shows their versatility (and their ease to work with singers) in “The secret”, with MC Tali. Soon after, “Vandals” and its electro switch lights every dancefloor around the world on fire...

Over a very short period of time, Dirtyphonics tracks are played by the world’s famous DJs of the electronic music scene: Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Andy C, Chase & Status, Pendulum, Vicarious Bliss, Marky, Dj Hype, Kissy Sell Out, Annie Nightingale…

All at the same time, the band keeps to intensively tour the world from trendy clubs to huge festivals (Electric Daisy Carnival, Plages Electroniques, Solidays, Slamming Vinyl, Starscape, USC events, Les Nuits Zebrées, Summer Festival, Audioriver, Together As One, Nordik Impact, Arena, Government, Metrocity, Brixton Academy, Pirate Station…) and in the summer 2010, moved to Los Angeles for their acclaimed “French Do It Better” tour around the USA and Canada.

During this tour, the band starts writing its long awaited debut album while working on a string of remixes such as Shockone’s “Polygon”, the Bloody Beetroots’ famous “Warp 1977”, Nero’s “Me and you”...

The future looks bright and busy both in the studio and on the road, as Dirtyphonics will do their first Japan appearance in 2011 and are working days in, days out on genre defying music.

“Dirtyphonics have in the past year created some of the most boundary pushing, genre hopping records in dance music” Viper recordings.
