Dirtybird Party: A Review

by Mikey Velazquez, HAWT Los Angeles

Last night was the first official DIRTYBIRD Label Party here in Los Angeles, and man oh man it was off the heezy!
From the second I walked into The Vanguard, the thumping basslines on that Function 1 Soundsystem had us gyrating all the way to the front of the huge superclub.

It was only a Thursday night, something tough to pull off at a superclub here in LA, but you would have thought it was the weekend from the turnout, tons of smiling faces grooving to the DIRTY.....and boy was it DIRTY! There happened to be a huge film/music licensing convention in LA, and that only added to the beautiful energy in that room. Not to mention it was Violet and Suzy's birthday, Happy Birthday ladies!

Justin Martin warmed things up nicely and played some reedonkulous funky and very housey choons. Claude von Stroke followed and delivered, my first time seeing him, and did his thing and got the crowd jumping and clapping. By this point it was popping hard, and Christian Martin closed it out with some quirkier beats (i think? i left at 2:45 and it went til 4am!)

All in all, a terrific night of music, friends, dancing and FUN! What else do you ever really need???? A nod to both Felisa and Geoff for working hard to make this happen and treat LA to the DIRTYBIRD vibe.
